Not Me! Monday!

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.

So, I took a little break from blogging during this past month 'cause I was thinking about other things....but I'm now thinking about blogging again and I thought it would only be right to start out with a Not Me! Monday! post....so here goes:

First and foremost, I have not stuck to my New Years resolution to lost ten pounds...nope...I have lost 13 pounds instead! And not to be an overachiever or anything....I'm not planning on losing another 5 pounds either. While I'm typing this, I'm thinking I should've stuck with water instead of the rootbeer I'm currently drinking...I hope I didn't just jinx myself!

Lately, I'm not totally enjoying floor hockey....and it's not because all of my best girlfriends happen to be at the local YMCA at the same time Megan has practice. It just wouldn't be right if I spend that time chatting with my friends instead of watching Megan scrimmage...or would it?

And today, I didn't spend a glorious uninterrupted 9 minutes in a nice, warm tanning bed...but if I did, it would be because I have a little psoriasis issue...not because I want to look like a beach chick...pshhh...

Finally, I am not planning on composing the most amazing blog post complete with fantastic snapshops documenting all of the McCauley kid activities over the past month....hmmmm...I might just have to do that....

Caught off guard...

So, this morning while I was getting him dressed, Kellan suddenly looked up at me with his baby blues with a very perplexed look on his face. He pointed at my....ahem....chest and asked "Mom, what is that crack?" After a brief pause, I replied "My cleavage, Kellan." To my credit, I didn't laugh or break out in a sweat. I was actually thinking to myself that the new push-up bra I recently purchased from Victoria's Secret must really be doing it's job....worth every penny!

Where have I been?

I've been busy....and preoccupied. Miss Megan played her last basketball game on Saturday morning - the improvement in her basketball skills was amazing to see. She had a great time playing and Marc had a good time coaching. Now on to floor hockey...and then soccer!

What am I preoccupied with? Well, I am realizing how hard it is to raise three children, keep a big house clean, work fulltime, and have any time for myself. I actually crave time to myself...more than chocolate cake even! I've been trying to fullfill my New Years resolutions and, for the most part, I've done well. I've lost 12+ pounds since January 1st!!! Woohoo!!! I'm still working on taking more time to myself. Soooo...this weekend I'm going to take some time to go shopping (because my clothes are all too big now!) and spend some time with my girlfriends. I can hardly wait!
