Not Me Monday!

Monday again, where did the weekend go!

If you are not familiar with not Me Monday go to http://www.mycharmingkids.net/ and read all about it...

I was NOT thrilled to see the sun shine this morning. It did NOT make my heart happy to just let it soak in! NOPE NOT ME!

My husband and I did NOT stay up way to late one night this week watching a movie he had been waiting for months to come out on DVD. If we did it would have been TAKEN, since he has been really wanting to see it.

We did NOT take our youngest to CiCi's pizza for her birthday. We certainly didn't let her eat to the point she was sick... We would NEVER let our small one eat 4 pizza slices, 2 bowls of pasta, 2 bread sticks and 2 Cinnamon rolls... Not us not EVER!

I did NOT enjoy a 2 hour nap yesterday, It was NOT wonderful ~ NOT ME!

I was NOT sore yesterday from sitting for 2 days on hard benches without moving! NOPE NOT ME! I did NOT get up once thinking my legs were so asleep they might not ever move again.. NOPE NOT ME!

I did NOT recently call a lady by the wrong name for 2 weeks before she spoke up and said that wasn't her name. I did NOT call her the wrong name like 10 times first and with such confidence she probably had to think about it herself. Nope NOT ME! I NEVER do things like that... I never speak first think later... NOPE NEVER!

I have NOT been an emotional basket case for the last few days for some unknown reason. Maybe, because my girls are growing to fast or maybe because they already are so big... I did NOT get weepy at church yesterday when they had the children to stand for another year well done and I did NOT get teary eyed over my nephew singing in the pew next to me word for word the song his Mom was singing as the special at church.. NOT ME I have my emotions in check! ahem...........

I am NOT worn out and I am NOT ready for a vacation and this week is NOT jam packed as well so I'm sure to be rested by the weeks end.... Because we NEVER over commit! I did NOT go to GNC last week and buy some mega vitamins hoping to have more energy... Nope not ME!

Happy Monday! I pray you all have a blessed week!

Weekend in Review!

Guess what we did this weekend??? I know you would never even think about the Narrell's being at a Basketball ball tournament again!! Friday night the girls played and won by 16 points... No pictures because my camera was in the car and I was just to lazy to go back and get it!

Saturday Morning.
Kacey shooting foul shots.

They won by 21 points...

The last game they lost by 9 but stayed within 2 points of them until right at the last... They played hard and were very competitive. Were they sad? NOPE not really because this team that beat them were this years 7th grade team at Rogersville so for these girls to be competitive with them was quite impressive! We are proud of you girls and second place again is not bad!

Random thoughts!

Thank Goodness it's Friday! What a week! This is the last day of Spring Fling for Kacey.
We had an interesting morning... Kacey was getting ready for the skit she was in this morning. She is a MOM in the skit. It was interesting to see her dress and wear the part of a MOM~ interesting to see how she sees me... I guess it made me realize just how much she is watching. I pray what she sees brings honor to God. And Grace is just Grace, she is so laid back and moves at a snails pace, she is in no hurry to do anything... that's just my sweet girl. I had a minor meltdown, Kacey was wearing shorts to short had to change and straightening her naturally curly hair and then Grace after I thought she was ready and eating breakfast was on her bed in her pj's still... ahem... So between the hurrying and the gathering trying to get out the door.. I was a wee bit frazzled.. Our morning routine consist of right when we get in the car we pray together ~ for everything..... and after we pray all the madness of the morning melts and we are "normal" again or at least our version of it... so after we pray Kacey was talking about the skit at a pace of 90 miles an hour she was excited... She is only 12 that's what it should be. I love it when she is so open and talks to me about everything... It makes my heart happy! Then from the backseat Grace says
Grace ~"Hey Mom, Do you know how a Cat gets a hairball!"
Kacey ~ Where did that come from
Grace ~ I don't know just thought you might want to know
Me ~ Nope, I'm not sure do you want to tell me?
Grace ~ Well when a cat licks it's fur it has these things on it's tongue that brush the hair and when the cat doesn't get rid of the hair and swallows it sometimes it gets so much it gets sick and that's a hair ball.... giggle... are you glad you know that now...
Me~ Yes, very much so
Grace ~ Why!
Me ~ because you make me laugh and made my day!
Grace ~ I love you Momma!

Where do they get this stuff! Just another day in paradise!
Happy Friday ~ hope you have a great weekend!

I still like being in the country!

Do you remember my post? http://narrellfamily.blogspot.com/2009/03/simple-things.html#comments well I still love the country and that hasn't changed but sometimes we are overrun with critters and that I CAN DO WITHOUT! A couple of weeks ago we had a coyote that was getting a little to familiar with our house. We saw him a couple of times, both times he was really close to the house... Not comforting..
Then there are times when we are awakened by the smell of yes ~ Skunks... We've had opossums and raccoons. The raccoon stayed hid out for months and the garbage everyday was scattered across the back yard. I'm sure people wondered because we had post around our garbage cans with ropes tied on and around trying to keep whatever it was out, see for months we didn't know.. then I was carrying the garbage out one night and saw stuff flying out of the garbage and it was in there so Greg finally had closure. I'm pretty sure that had him on the verge of a meltdown trying to figure out what it was! We have squirrels and rabbits that we enjoy watching. We have lots of bird feeders that we enjoy. We've even seen deer at our creek in the front! Now as my weekend post showed we have snakes from time to time and those are not good but they usually are not often. Thank you Lord! Our latest saga started on Monday when our neighbor paid a visit to let Greg know that there has been a fox around their house and it was getting way to close to them on the patio, driveway and when they were outside it didn't run.. hmmm not sure but Greg and I decided that was not a good thing wild things are supposed to be afraid and run... well after deciding we better watch for a few days since the girls will befriend anything with hair. Last night he made his appearance at the Narrell's at the back patio. Greg went outside, he didn't run... looked at him and kind of just kept walking around in circles. Of course I think rabies! HELLO! So after Greg comes in and goes back out he is not going anywhere so the fox had a sad ending but at least no humans were harmed...
Just another day in paradise!
Happy Thursday!

Happy Wednesday!

After way to much Pizza at Cici's!

Not Me Monday!

Time again for not me Monday!

I am NOT addicted to Diet Cokes with Extra Ice from Sonic ~ and I did NOT buy one last week and make it to work with it to dump the entire full cup onto my keyboard. The ice was NOT mounded on top, I was NOT more upset of the lost cup of wonderful crushed ice than I was my keyboard. Nope not me!

I am NOT spread to thin lately and I certainly didn't email a friend with some outrageous reply thinking it was another friend emailing... I would NEVER do that...

I did NOT spend the morning last Wednesday in the basement at work again under a Tornado Warning... It has NOT been raining for the last week straight! NOT at all!

I did NOT have a non flat tire issue last week! How crazy would that be! http://narrellfamily.blogspot.com/2009/05/wednesdays-update.html

I did NOT have a house full of kids at my house this weekend for an 8 year birthday party!

I did NOT sleep on the couch and we had tons of fun! I'm NOT thankful that the rain held off!

I did NOT let all the kids put on a swim suit and play on the slide in the Rain Sat... NOPE NOT me!

We (well Greg) did NOT kill our first snake of the year on Saturday and he did NOT chase me back up the driveway with the snake dead on a hoe to scare me! I was NOT mad either... NOPE NOT US!

I did all my laundry and housework this weekend and I'm NOT behind on a thing!

NOPE NEVER ME!

I did NOT lose my keys this morning and have to drive in this morning with the extra set... NOPE NOT me ~ I'm way to organized for that...

Happy not NOT me Monday!
