Not Me Monday!

I am NOT technologically challenged. I did NOT type my post and then decide to add pictures, I defintely know how to move the pictures around. I did NOT decide it wasn't worth the headache and decide to leave it all jumbled. I am NOT totally confused as to how to use Picasa and I am NOT at all frustrated by our messed up laptop. It does NOT need a date with Gabe Isbell.
This is NOT a rather blurry picture of us lovin' on Micah at a Christmas party this weekend.
We did NOT have to leave this Christmas party to go to the youth Christmas party. I was NOT at all sad to exchange my good friends for youth...I was NOT pleasantly surprised at what a good time we had at the youth party. I do NOT miss being able to help out with the youth as much as I once did.


It does NOT bring a smile to my face and gratitude to our Lord when I think about us being a family. I did NOT almost cry when we got a Christmas card today that was addressed to The Blackley Family...we're NOT a FAMILY!

I do NOT absolutly love the next 2 pictures, this one is NOT slightly blurry. I do NOT have a bone to pick with our camera. I am NOT totally blessed to have two very handsome and wonderful men in my life.


I am NOT at all proud of my picture taking abilities, it was NOT pure luck that this picture turned out. I do NOT love it!



This picture is NOT to prove that Micah sometimes forgets that he doesn't need movement to sleep. I was NOT at all excited this day, he did NOT sleep for almost an hour without movement!



To get the low down on Not Me Monday, and to give credit where credit is due, visit MckMama's site.

I did NOT totally forget about Not Me Monday until I read Travis Prachar's post this afternoon.
I also did NOT almost throw up all over our computer when I saw a picture of a snake on Travis' blog. I do NOT hate snakes.
I did NOT just add the wrong link to Travis' blog, I am not scurrying to change it before anyone (namely Travis) notices.
I did NOT spend the next hour cooking and brainstorming what I did NOT do this week. This was NOT hard, my life does not consist of breastfeeding, changing very poopy diapers and sleeping when my 8 week old sleeps. I do NOT love my life as a mother.


Micah is NOT as I type in the midst of a 2 hour nap. I do NOT keep checking on him to make sure he's okay, it is totally like him to sleep this long during the day. I am NOT worried he wont sleep at all tonight.


Speaking of sleep: We did NOT swear off Micah sleeping in the swing 2 weeks ago. He is NOT STILL sleeping in the swing, we did NOT decide to embrace it for the moment. He does NOT sleep 8 hours a night, as long as he is moving! I do NOT enjoy my 8 (more like 7) hours of sleep at night. I am NOT eternally grateful for the invention of a swing that swings sideways...and I am also NOT at all grateful that my Auntie and cousins so generously purchased it for us.


I did NOT attempt to try on a new pair of jeans today while by myself with Micah. I did NOT almost get Micah and our oversized stroller stuck in the dressing room. I also did NOT rock his stroller back and forth while half naked...he did NOT wake up the second the stroller stopped moving. It is NOT frustrating that he loves to sleep with movement. I also did NOT decide it was a really bad move to try on jeans 8 weeks after giving birth.

I do NOT apologize for my rather negative post earlier this week. I do NOT appreciate all of the encouragement from many dear friends who have been where I am now! I am NOT at all grateful for great friends!
I know that I did NOT do some rather silly and embarassing things this week, I'm NOT drawing a blank. Now lets hear what you did NOT do this week!

Sorry about the snake...aren't you glad it wasn't your tree!!? I would have never noticed the link being messed up! I LOVE your pictures with the Christmas decorations by the sound booth!! What a gorgeous backdrop...and subjects too, right?? Aren't cameras made to make you crazy?? They do a FINE job of it here too! I LOVE, LOVE,LOVE (that's 3 loves!) you post this week, I was rolling and crying several times. Make peace with the swing thing, I swear he will be fine, no one will ever know in a few months! You may even forget! By the way, I think if you change the way you upload your pictures you will have an easier time. If your not centering them already, try that (choose medium size and centered and then tell it to do that every time). I never have trouble when I do it that way. Keep these blogs coming! I am so enjoying you becoming a FABULOUS mom and Blackley FAMILY!!

Hey Dollie! Such sweet pictures! I'm wondering if you might need to change your blogger template? Do you have it on the minima lefty stretch one right now? If so, maybe try changing it to the plain minima one...it would make things smaller, but might bring it to the center of your background. Just a guess...I may be totally wrong. :) I know how aggravating blogging can be! Good luck!

I just love yrou posts :) We were bummed too that we missed you! Just so you know...my own personal confession is that we have let Ethan sleep in bed with us because he sleeps awesome in there. Now I'm scared to put him the bassinet! I was going to attempt it last night...but ended up keeping him. When oh when will we get our bed back? Just wanted to let you know not to worry about sleeping stuff :) You'll look back and laugh at it! We never would let Ev sleep with us unless it was an emergency situation. aka she wouldn't sleep anywhere else and we had been up for a few hours. Merry Christmas Blackleys!
