Most of you are in the throws of raising children. You are in the trenches. Physically exhausted. Mentally fatigued. Emotionally spent. Spiritually dry. I sympathize with you. I remember those days. Equal doses of fulfillment and frustration.

I did not go out of the country for 2 weeks and leave a load of wet laundry to sour in my washer. No, NOT ME! NOT ME!

NOT ME MONDAY!
I told you that I would reveal what this entree was. Perhaps you have already guessed. Here is the picture in case you have forgotten.

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.
I DO NOT DO Mornings. I am a seriously committed night owl. Seriously. Is that not another way to start the day without having to pass through mornings? I cannot bear to get up. Not me! Sometimes I dread going to bed because I just hate to be forced to face the morning.

We have 2 darling grandsons, Declan (19 months) and Grayson (8 months). Every chance I can get, I keep the little guys, whom I lovingly refer to as our baby grands! Reliving my own precious memories of their daddies' earliest days, I hug, kiss, cuddle, and rock these little guys as often as I can - pressing these moments deeply into my memory banks. I don't want to miss a moment. Not one moment. Not one memory. Not me. No. Not Me.

Not Me. Not Me. I DID NOT actually cook this weekend. Since we have become emptynesters, I simply do not cook very often anymore. But we got an unexpected blizzard - well, unexpected if you live in the South. We live in Memphis and on Saturday we got 10" of snow! To commemorate the special occasion I felt compelled to make a pot of chili to chase away the usual cold weather.

The Academy Awards were held yesterday. Oscar, the coveted golden statue, was handed out amid speeches, spangles, sequins, and hair products. And the winner is . . . Not Me!! The world applauds performance, pursues prestige, honors power, and marvels at the accumulation of possessions. I don't now, nor will I ever, show up as a blip on that radar screen.

For the last 30 years I have been a SAH mom. My husband, Craig, and I have raised and released 2 great guys into the adult world. Both guys are married and have babies of their own. It is tremendously satisfying to watch them build their own household of faith.
