Not Me! Monday

When I was getting our two youngest boys ready for bed, I did not discover that my task was made lighter by half because one of them was still in his pj’s. What kind of mother would let one of her children stay in his pajamas all day?

I have not been staying up late AND getting up early. If I did that I would be grumpy and difficult to get along with and I have not been grumpy or difficult to get along with.

I did not go to the library book sale three times last week. We already have loads of books and I am running out of shelf space.

If I had gone to the book sale multiple times and purchased more books than we have room for, one of those books would not have been a book about de-cluttering. Wouldn’t that have been counterproductive?

Go visit MckMamma’s blog to see what others have not been doing this week, or check out my other Not Me Monday posts!

    I can definitely relate to the staying up late, getting up early grumpiness (my husband would probably agree to this as well- mainly about the grumpiness on my part!)

    We like pjs around here, especially with the cold weather we’ve been having and schools being closed, Maya loves to stay in pjs all day they just have to be the right kind, with princesses on them.

    You should actually be encouraged that some of your kids stay in pj’s all day. That means they are homeschooled right?
