"Not me!" Monday

Here is another Monday, which brings us to another edition of "Not me!" Monday, the blog carnival from MckMama at My Charming Kids. I just love her charming blog!

And to give you fair warning, I shall be reluctantly taking a little bloggy break from "Not me!" Mondays for a while....probably until the end of April. That is, unless I come up with some really good material and a few free minutes. Ah, I'll miss this cathartic confessional! So without further ado, here I go on my last lap 'round the track...

I'm sure that annoucement caused great mourning and wailing all across the globe.

First things first: we did totally, utterly not strike a deal on the house we want to buy! We absolutely did not hear on Friday evening that the bank accepted our counter-counter-offer, and on April 22 we will not begin moving into our new home! It is not at all beautiful and roomy, and I am not having a ball arranging furniture in my mind. I am certainly not considering asking Jeff to draw up another one of his room diagram-thingys with the little rectangles & square that represent to-scale furniture. Nope, not me!

And I am definitely not a little aghast at the state of my house, already. We have not just barely begun to pack, and the house is not already a disaster. But if I were, and it was, I would not be assured that in the end it will all be well worth it...

Totally not considering putting a hold on all sink- and toilet-scrubbing until right before we vacate the premises. That would be just gross.

I am not super excited that our realtor has agreed to take us to the house again this week, so the boys can actually see the inside of the place before moving day. And I am not planning to take my camera along so that I can do more in-depth mental furniture arranging. No way. That would be a little extreme. I mean, I really hate to plan ahead, and have no interest whatsoever in having "all my ducks in a row."

I am definitely not at all tempted to obtain signatures made with blood, to be sure that we will have reliable help during our whirlwind moving week. I am not at all afraid that it will prove to be too great a task, and that coincidentally people who have offered their help will turn out to be busy-- they are weekdays, after all. Nope, no desire to draw up contracts at all.

Now if you'll excuse me, I don't have an entire household to pack up...
