Not Me! Monday

Join in this carnival of fun by going to MckMama's blog and checking out the rules. You can also find a list of other fellow bloggers who are confessing what they did not do this week.

Yes, I'm posting early this week because I have some time tonight and I don't know that I will have any tomorrow to make a post. How did everyone's week go?

My sister-in-law's welcome party for my niece (did that make sense?) was on Saturday. It was a blast! It was the first time I was home since Christmastime and it was great to see everyone. The weekend was not relaxing and virtually tension-free, which is not half a miracle with a 21, 16, and 13 year old girl under one roof!

I didn't cringe when I saw that a cupcake-cake was chosen and immediately think of Cake Wrecks. It was a fine cake, really, but CW has me conditioned!

I am also not still tickled PINK that they are naming the baby Hailey, a name that I suggested. Given my obsession with love of baby names, I'm weirdly excited about this.

Last Friday, my CT and I took six of our students to a county-wide writing tournament. I was not thrilled and so very proud when five of those students placed in the top ten. And I wasn't jumping with joy when one of those students was awarded first place!!

And, just so we're clear, I would never eat a cupcake, ice cream, chocolate eclair cake, and cherry pie all in the same day, thanks to two family parties in a row. Never!
