Not Me Monday

I did not truly forget to put a diaper on Makenna the other day while changing her diaper. No, I did not take off her diaper and then pull up her shorts thinking that I had already put a new diaper on her. And no, she did not try to get a diaper out to show me that I forgot one. I absolutely did not tell her to stop and to leave the diapers alone. We did not proceed to go outside and play for awhile, then come in to watch Word World. I also did not start to doze on the couch during an episode of World World only to be awakened by little hands pointing down to where a wet spot should not be on little girls shorts. I also did not try to figure out how she wet out her diaper since I had only put it on about an HOUR before that. I also did not finally realize when I went to check her diaper that she did NOT have a diaper on anyways. Seriously, how could a mom let their daughter go all commando? Whoops!

I also did not tell my boys that I do not care if they clean their room or not anymore. I did not say that if they want to live in a pigsty, then they could. I also did not tell them that if their clothes were not put in the dirty clothes hamper then I would not wash them. I also did not allow them to follow those orders and to let them allow their room to get THIS bad.


I also did not end up revoking this rule less than a week later because I couldn't handle it, plus I had the Extravaganza to worry about.

I also do not encourage my daughter to climb out of her booster seat at the dining room table. She does not usually stand up sliding herself out of the belt. However, on this day, somehow, she didn't quite do it, and did NOT succeed in pulling the entire booster off the chair but yet still attached to her bottom. And, of course, I would not make Luke run and get the camera first while she is crying just so I could take pictures of it. I also did NOT have contractions yesterday during Sunday School which only got me thinking that I am completely ready to to have this new baby. I did not come home yesterday and simply because I had those contractions, I did NOT start washing all our 0-3 month clothes and even her car seat fabric just in the even that a baby comes early.....really early. My goals for this week are NOT putting her play pen together, doing her letters for her walls, and putting all her clothes in her closet now.

I did NOT call my OB doctor old and forgetful today in the doctor's office because he forgot to tell me to schedule my 36 week ultrasound. That would be completely rude. But, in my defense, he also DID NOT call me old first and tell me that I have to come back in twice a week for stress tests since I have gestational diabetes. That, of course, did not ADD to my stress thinking about bringing five children 8 and under to a doctor's office twice a week for a long period of time while I have these test. I mean, seriously, why would it? It sounds like so much fun for all six of us to be squeezed into on little tiny room together. We could call it bonding time, right?

Anyways, that's all I got for you unless you count the fact that I did not let my children play outside in the rain on the inflatable pool slide all evening on the Fourth of July, and I did NOT think about the fact that they were still wet and without their shirts later into the night while Eric did the fireworks. I mean, what kind of mom would that be to let their kid do things that would purposefully catch a cold.

Oh, and I did not forget to bring out all the condiments for our Fourth of July Extravaganza until I noticed people with naked Brats and Hot dogs on their plates. Good times.

Okay, now I'm done although I'm sure that even if I thought about it a little longer there is no possible way that I would remember any other things that I did NOT do.

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.

For instance, right as I was typing this, I did NOT freak out on my son because he broke his brother's brand new trophy that he just received on Saturday for basketball. It definitely does not the prove the rule that we can have nothing breakable in this house for more than two days with out it getting broken. I am still not slightly grumpy that it was broken considering it was his first trophy ever.


I did not laugh and call my son a monkey the other day when I noticed him picking at his hair and then putting his fingers in his mouth. I did not think it was hilarious when he said it tasted good. I then did not realize that he had chocolate all in his hair from the Valentine's Day party that he had at church the night before. I was also not reminded of that very morning when Luke told me that Jakeb slept with his candy and apparently slept with the chocolate right on his pillow causing it to melt all over his pillow and his head. I also did not attempt to brush the chocolate out only to realize that there was so much in it that I had to give him a shower.

I am not overjoyed with the fact that basketball is officially over for the season! Who-hoo!!!! And I'm not dreading the thought that we have four kids signed up for sports in the spring/summer.

Eric and I did not dress up for our themed worker's banquet with old fashion clothes, and we were definitely not thrilled when we won second place losing only to the people who actually rented their costumes.

On the other hand I was NOT mortified that I actually fit into the outfit that my mom had made forever ago for herself for another Old Fashion day at church. The I would never be able to fit into my mother's clothes. They would be way too big. I also did not realize that my mother has the shortest waist in the world. Even if I wasn't pregnant, the shirt stopped above my belly. Of course that did not mean that I had to pull the skirt part up way above my belly so that I could wear it all without being indecent. I wasn't uncomfortable wearing the outfit at all. Really.

(my mom and dad forever ago)

Oh, here's a good one. I bought a cake for the worker's banquet because I had no time to make anything. We had three games and a basketball party the same day as the boat ride banquet. Anyways, I did not tell the kids that I would bring any of the cake home for them if there was any left over. I did not watch as a server took the lid of my cake and throw it away and wonder how I would get the cake home later. I then did not manage to cover it with a paper towel, walk up the dock, slip and fall...all the while saving my cake. I then did not get all the way back to the church on a crowded bus, and then pick up my kids and get all the way back to my house only to DROP it the very minute I opened the car door. I did however, almost catch it with my foot. Such a bummer!
I did not celebrate my nine year anniversary by going to a Stampin UP party instead of a dinner or something with my husband. (Hey, I did make a nice dinner for everyone at home that night...steak and potatoes.) And we did NOT make these cute cards.
okay, and last one. My husband did not take Makenna to church last night with her hair sticking up like a PEACOCK. He would always comb her hair and make sure she had the perfect hair because he totally know how to do girl hair. He did not make everyone laugh when they saw her. I was not slightly embarrassed at all.

Not Me Monday!

I love reading MckMama's Not Me Monday, and I'm trying very hard not to be envious of the fact that she is going on a CRUISE!!!! Who-hoo for her!

I did not freak out this week on my poor kids over and over while homeschooling. No way! I'm in complete control every day. And I would definitely not blame pregnancy hormones on it. That would be just pathetic.
I did not somehow let the dirty laundry get backed up again until it's overflowing onto the floor in multiple rooms of the house. That would make me sound lazy or something, so I would never do that. Oh, and I did not tell my boys that I would give them 25 cents for every clean basket of laundry that they place in my room. I wouldn't bribe my kids into doing my job and would definitely never underpay them. And you would NEVER be able to find me in this room of the house with my laptop. That would be crazy. Seriously, why would I need to have the laptop in the bathroom? Oh yeah, here's the reason:

I also did not pass on going to the CHEC homeschool meeting this past week or wait, maybe it was two weeks ago, simply because I wanted to watch The Biggest Loser with my kids. That would make it seem that I'm slightly addicted to the television, and we all know that's not true.
