Not me! Monday

I have not participated in this little bloggy fun in a long while now. It was all started by Mckmama at http://www.mycharmingkids.net/ Not Me! Monday is a great way to get it off of your chest! Check out the other Not me! Monday blogs and come on join in the fun.

Just a few things that myself or my family have NOT done over the past few weeks.

While we were camping Ty met a couple of boys his age to play with. He most certainly did NOT tell these boys when they asked what happened to his eye that a sting ray had poked him in the eye and pulled it right out. We had been to the aquarium that day and watched/touched the sting rays. Andy and I did NOT think this was rather funny and creative. Then we had a little talking to our funny and creative boy.

I do NOT let my boy's fingernails get longer than mine. It had NOT been quite some time since I last trimmed their nails.

I most certainly did NOT on a whim decide to buy school supplies early. For crying out loud it is July and we still have a bit to go. I am NOT ashamed to say that buying school supplies is NOT one of my most favorite things to do.

Andy will NOT be out of town all week long. He is NOT gonna be out of town for my birthday on Thursday. I am NOT sad about that at all!

Not me! Monday

Oh boy! It's that time again. Not me! Monday time. This little blog fun was started by Mckmama at http://www.mycharmingkids.net/ Check out the other Not me! Monday blogs and come on join in the fun.

So here it goes...

I did NOT cave in and buy NOT one, but 6 boxes of Girl Scout cookies.

They did NOT most certainly stay in my house for less than a week. I would NOT ever eat almost a whole box by myself. Nope, NOT ME!

I did NOT then kind of have a feeling of nausea from so many cookies. It does NOT serve me right for NOT being such a glutton!

My baby, Evan did NOT turn 1 this past week. This year has NOT gone by way too fast, and I am NOT really emotional about my baby reaching this milestone!

He was NOT a little bit sick/irritable at his birthday party with his family.

Oh yes, and I did NOT make him wear this

He did NOT look so darn cute in it though, and I have NOT been putting my "SEXY curls" hair product into his hair to make it look like this. Nope, NOT me!
So, what have you NOT done this week?

Not me! Monday

Oh boy! It's that time again. Not me! Monday time. This little blog fun was started by Mckmama at http://www.mycharmingkids.net/ Check out the other Not me! Monday blogs and come on join in the fun.

So here it goes...

I did so NOT beg my husband to clean out his closet last night so that we could actually put his clothes away. I did NOT tell him, "Just one hour of your time. We can finish, but if we don't then we will quit in just one hour" This is so NOT sad folks! I do NOT resort to begging at all. Nope! Not me.

It did NOT get done though, and I did NOT resort to moving on to his dresser. I did NOT get a feeling of absolute joy after accomplishing these goals. Again, this is NOT sad!

I did NOT eat at Petros in the mall last week and then go buy a couple of things afterward without checking my teeth. After shopping and finally going to the restroom, I did NOT have a huge piece of pinto bean on my lower front tooth. That was so NOT embarrassing!

My Ty did NOT tell me this morning in front of his school friends when I leaned in to kiss him bye, "Mom, don't kiss me!" I did NOT almost start crying over that one.

I had a great run this morning, but I did NOT have this random new member guy on the treadmill beside me just chatting away. I was kind of taken back at first, but who am I kidding I so do NOT talk to the wall if it will listen. So I did NOT just start talking back. It did NOT make my 50 minutes of running/walking go by super fast. So thanks random guy!

What did you NOT do this week?

I have NOT unsuccessfully tried my hardest to get my little angel Evan to drink from his sippy cup this week. The little turkey has NOT drank out of a sippy cup before now, and this week has NOT now decided that it is too much work.

I am NOT secretly thinking that he might be two or older before he is broken from his bottle. It would most certainly NOT be from the comments I have made about my children not drinking bottles after the age of one. Those were NOT eat my words comments!

We as a family are NOT going to Disney World over Spring Break this year. I am NOT so excited b/c we did NOT get a smokin' great deal!

Evan's hair does NOT have loads of curls in the back. Even though I have not had fond memories of my own curly hair growing up, I am secretely NOT thrilled to death that Evan has my curls!

My Ty did NOT get his picture made with one of the "Ice Bear Hunnies" last week at the hockey game b/c he thought she was hot!

Oh my, I do NOT even know what to say about this.

Not me! Monday

I did NOT miss posting Not me! Monday last week because my kiddos were still sick.

Evan is NOT still fighting what I believe is an ear infection, and we are NOT going back to the doctor again today.

I did NOT spend most of my days last week chasing Evan as he did this

I did NOT then decide to use the Pack-n-Play as a gate.

I did NOT give up on this idea and go spend money on a gate. Andy did NOT put it up and Ty most certainly did NOT pull it down all in the span of 15 hours.

I did NOT get deoderant on my black bathing suit right before I had to teach my class, and from the pool deck mind you. I did NOT have to scrub it off.

I did NOT contemplate after the deoderant issue, wearing my dirty uniform shirt. That is until I smelled it- Not so good

What are some of the things you have NOT done? Have a happy Monday!

Not me! Monday

I am NOT totally addicted to "The Batchelor" and "The Biggest Loser". That would be way too much time spent aimlessly doing nothing.

I have NOT slept in socks, pajamas, and a oversized chenille robe the whole past week because it has NOT been so cold that even polar bears don't want to be out.

I did NOT stand by and watch as my niece Rachael and Tristan did this to Ty today

He did NOT completely love every minute of it.

I did NOT let them in turn do this to me today.

and I most certainly do NOT look like Dee Dee from the Doodlebops. Ya, you know the one.

Not me! Monday

After mentioning to my Life Group yesterday that I was going to put a bean bag at the bottom of our stairs to catch Evan when he fell, I did NOT ponder actually doing it.

After deciding I had better not. I did NOT use the bean bags to make a doorway gate upstairs in our hallway.

I did NOT think to myself, "You ROCK!, problem solved" I did NOT then think to myself, "Not so great idea!" after pole vaulting the bean bags no less than 15 times. I think maybe a gate would just be cheaper. My back says it would for sure.

I did NOT send Tristan to a slumber party Friday night without her sleeping bag and pillow. I mean HELLO! two words: SLEEP OVER! Whew, good thing I do NOT do things like that.

I did NOT enjoy a two hour nap on Saturday. So much in fact that I most certainly did NOT drool so much that it was NOT all over my pillow and my shirt. Whew! I must NOT have needed that rest at all.

I do NOT still have two bags of Christmas wrapping paper trash in my basement. We are all cleaned up.

So guess who's child took 7 days of a 10 day antibiotic before his mom realized that this particular antibiotic must be refrigerated? Nope, Not mine!



I did NOT realize this until the medicine turned a funky color and had a funky smell to it.


I have NOT probably given my child the funk now that was created by a stale antibiotic. Not me!

I did NOT read all over the bottle to find "must be refrigerated" written in lettering the size of a pencil lead. This was NOT an issue b/c we all know from last weeks Nots that my eyes are NOT that bad!


I did NOT then have to call the doctor's office and leave them a message about what a great mom I am! I did NOT proceed to then tell the nurse when she called back that I did not need anymore kids b/c I couldn't keep track of the ones I had. Who says that to a medical professional? Not me!


Evan is now NOT on another 10 day dosage when he should already be finished.

This is NOT the third time in Evan's 10 months here on Earth that I have botched him up medicine wise. I have NOT been giving him way less Tylenol to control his ear pain than his rather large 23 1/2 pound body needs. I did NOT finally ask the pharmacist b/c Evan's ears were still hurting. Apparently, the Tylenol didn't touch the pain. Hmmm! wonder why?
I did NOT give him Ty's glaucoma medicine while we were at the beach when he was just 3 months old. Nope, Not Me!

Evan did NOT climb up to the fourth stair yesterday. I did NOT hear a boom, followed by crying. Ty did NOT yell for me b/c Evan had fallen down the stairs. I mean for crying out loud, what kind of mother lets their 10 month old near the stairs;)? Certainly, NOT me!

And finally, these posts are most certainly NOT all about Evan. Poor little guy! Yes folks, don't let it scare you that I have three kiddos. I am a perfect mother!

Not me! Monday

Last week after going to bed with my hair wet, which is something a curly haired girl should only do in the presence of someone who really loves them, my hubby did NOT ask me the next morning if I was from "Whoville" Hey, Cindy Loo Who has nothing on me! I didn't know hair could stand up in those directions.

My sinuses are NOT acting up again, and I am NOT typing this while my eyes are super swollen.

Speaking of eyes, I do NOT need to go to the eye doctor bad. In fact, I did NOT let Tristan's 7 year old friend tell me which streets to take b/c I couldn't read the signs when driving her home at night. I did NOT then tell her mother that I needed to get my eyes checked. I am sure her mother then felt pretty safe about me driving her child after that comment.

I did NOT have the best marathon cleaning session before our family came over for Tristan's birthday yesterday. So good in fact that you really do NOT want to see what is behind any door in our house. They are spring loaded- trust me!

Last but not least check out Mckmama's blog. She is not doing her usual Not Me! Monday marathon today. Her baby Stellan has been sick. For a really awesome story, catch up on Stellan. He is such an amazing miracle. It looks as though he is getting better, but pray for him and his family still. I love her Not Me! Monday posts so much that I wanted to carry it on today. I hope everyone has a great day!!

Not me! Monday

Hey guys! Welcome to Not me! Monday. I love this little blog fun started at http://www.mycharmingkids.net/ So check it out, join in the fun, and have fun finding out how "perfect" we really are.

Okay, I did NOT just this past week change both Evan's main diaper pail plus the old standby diaper pail that we have. They were NOT completely packed full to over flowing with diapers. I did NOT change it b/c I was putting dirty diapers in plastic bags on the floor beside the pail and finally ran out of space. That would be so gross. The 30 gallon trash bag that did NOT get filled with the contents of both pails was NOT so heavy that I had to drag it down the stairs and across the living room floor and to the garage. It did NOT sit there for another three days until I finally had to heave it to the trash can. I did NOT almost throw my back out doing this. I mean come on who is that lazy??? I ALWAYS change the diaper pails before they overflow ;)

I have NOT threatened my kids one hundred times today to quit wrestling. The threat was NOT that I would tell Jack to tell Santa that the presents were not coming. I mean I would NEVER threaten with things that I could not follow through with.

I have NOT had the fleeting thoughts today that I am not going to make two weeks of school being out, and that I may have to be rescued. Not me!

Jack has NOT stayed in the same place for two different nights this week b/c I forgot to move him. I have NOT used the excuse that Jack must like that spot. The kids did NOT completely buy into it. I am NOT so bad at this job of relocating Jack.

Our family did NOT stay in our pjs all afternoon. I did NOT contemplate letting Evan sleep in the same pjs as he wore last night and all day long. I did decide to change him though. What kind of mother do you think I am?

and last but not least. I did NOT clean my bathroom today. I am NOT embarrassed to admit that it had been a really LONG time. So long that my sinks were crying tears of joy for seeing some cleaner and a sponge. I am NOT going to blame it on the fact that I have a baby. Wait though that baby is NOT now 9 months old so he is no excuse. Who waits that long to clean their bathroom? Not me!

Merry CHRISTmas everyone!!

Not me! Monday

Hey guys! Welcome to Not me! Monday. I love this little blog fun started at http://www.mycharmingkids.net/ So check it out, join in the fun, and have fun finding out how "perfect" we really are.

I did not work out last Tuesday for a whole hour with my underwear riding up my rear end the whole time. When I finished my workout and went to pick Evan up from the Kids Klub I did not try to put my keys in my pocket only to not be able to find the pocket. I couldn't find the pocket because my shorts were NOT on backwards the whole entire workout. Nope! Not me. I mean come on, that would be too embarrassing.

We do not have a new addition to our outside Christmas inflatable fest. Nope!

It is not an inflatable Santa riding a John Deere Tractor, and he is not right next to our inflatable manger scene. Nope! That would be a little much wouldn't it?

Jeff Foxworthy is not going to add our house to the best redneck Christmas decorations. Nope!

My Evan did not start crawling pretty good yesterday. That would mean I am gonna have to buy more outlet covers.

What about the things you all didn't do?

Not me! Monday

I did not carry Evan upstairs last night to get him ready for bed and put him down on the changing table to find my whole arm wet. I did not proceed to find the biggest blow out of poop in my lifetime. It was not completely up Evan's back and out the sides of his diaper. I did not have to call Andy in for reinforcements because I did not have poop everywhere it could possibly go. Evan was not competely smiling through the whole ordeal like he didn't have a care in the world. Nope! not me

I did not let my kids eat way too much candy and junk this weekend. What kind of mom would do that? Nope! not me.

I did not eat too much candy and junk myself this weekend. For crying out loud I am not a fitness instructor and I am not supposed to set a good example. Nope! not me.

I have not forgotten to hide Jack, our elf on the shelf, at least three times this week. I have not gotten up in a panic to race downstairs before the kiddos and hide him before they could realize he was in the same spot as the day before.

I do not have more Christmas shopping to do. I am supposed to not be finished already, right!

and last but not least...

I do not have leftovers still in my fridge from Thanksgiving. That would be kind of gross, so Nope! not me

Have a great rest of your Monday

Not me! Monday

It's time again for Not Me! Monday. I love this little blog fun started at http://www.mycharmingkids.net/. Check it out and join in the fun. Have fun finding out how "perfect" we really are.

I did not eat four different Thanksgiving Meals this week. No, not me!

I did not stick my finger inside Evan's diaper yesterday to see if he had pooped because that would really be gross. I did not, in turn, pull out my finger with poop on it. That would be extra gross! Nope, not me!

My dryer did not BLOW up completely last night. It did not happen 25 days before Christmas b/c that would be wonderful timing!

I do not have about 10 loads of laundry to do. Nope, not me!

I am not stressing about not having a dryer for a few days. Nope, not me!

My little Evan is NOT crawling now ever so slightly. That would mean he is growing up and he is most certainly not doing that too fast.

Not me Monday

Welcome to Not Me! Monday. This is one of my favorite things to read about on MckMamas blog http://www.mycharmingkids.net/ Check it out and have fun reading about how "perfect" we really are.

I have not relented into letting my husband pick up the Santa Clause piloting the Pirate Ship to put in our front yard all in the spirit of Christmas for the kids of course. No, not me!

All three of my kiddos are not sick today and we are not all going to the doctor this afternoon.

I am not in the process of having Marathon Thanksgiving week. Last night, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. That would be a little too much Turkey so No, not me!

And last but not least, My husband is really NOT Clark W. Griswold (wink wink)

Not Me! Monday

Welcome to Not Me! Monday. This is one of my favorite things to read about on MckMamas blog http://www.mycharmingkids.net/ Check it out and have fun reading about how "perfect" we really are.

I did not eat a piece or two, or three of Halloween candy from my kid's stash every single day this past week. Nope, Not me!

I did not take Tris and her friend to see High School Musical 3 this weekend and love every minute of it. Nope, Not me!

I did not eat a bowl of cereal for lunch every day this week b/c I was too lazy to go to the store with two kiddos in tow. Nope, Not me!

I did not buy the new Casting Crowns Christmas CD because my friend Megan said it was great. (It is by the way) Tristan and I did not jam out to Away in a Manger before Thanksgiving because that would be way too early for Christmas music. Nope, Not Me!

I did not also buy Faith Hill's new Christmas CD and listen to it too. Nope Not Me!

Hope you enjoy reading about the things that I so did NOT do this week. Until next time...
