Not Me Monday


So here it is, another Not Me Monday. Following after my good friend Travis, I continue the tradition of MckMama's Not Me Monday Posting. I have been following this since Travis started, and I just LOVE hearing every ones denials of the past week. And it was so freeing to start my own Not Me Monday, so thank you MckMama and Travis! If you would like to also start your own you can go to MckMama's blog and get the rules. So here goes week two!

I did NOT go to a family wedding on Saturday and jokingly say to the Brides mom (who is my cousin) if you need a home for the extra cake you can send some our way. Why would I say such a silly thing, only to be told and sent out the door with one of the cakes! By the way that cake was so NOT good at all, I did NOT enjoy two slices yesterday. Nope, NOT me!

I also did NOT get up during that same wedding twice to take my three year old to the bathroom because she just had to go. No, I am NOT potty training ... why couldn't she just go in her pull-up on demand. I did NOT embarrass my self the second time around to take her. That would just be silly of me!

I do NOT have a mess on my desk because I work best when there is something to clean up. I do NOT feel like I have accomplished more if I start my day with this annoying mess, and I did NOT just take a picture to show you how NOT messy this desk may or may not be.


I did NOT make my whole week revolve around my now three year old daughter. That would just be wrong! Further more I did NOT pull out my "One Tough Mother" routine on the way to McDonald's as she continued to unbuckle and dance around the back seats. I did NOT pull over on the side of the road putting the fear of God into the other three children in the vehicle trying to discipline my to cute for words three year old. And I did NOT loose my cool when two minutes down the road she pulled the same trick, no NOT me because I am "One Tough Mother"!

I did NOT wait until last night to help Emily get ready to be VIP for the week in her Kindergarten class. Why would I do such a thing when I have had the materials for more than a week to get ready. I repeat I am NOT a procrastinator. I did NOT have fun pulling photos off the computer and Internet and then use Picasa to make cute collages for her VIP pictures. No NOT me, why waste my time doing such a silly thing!

I did NOT walk my kids to school today, and further more I did NOT agree to carry Eva at which time I did NOT fall down bottom first saving her from getting hurt. She did NOT continually tell me that she was the one that fell. I also did NOT continue to walk the next mile with mom in complete pain, no NOT me I need the work out even if it calls for pain ... you burn more calories that way, right?

I do NOT just love it when people tell me how beautiful my children are. I also do NOT care at all when they tell me how well behaved they are when we are out to eat, and just bite my tongue waiting for everything to go down hill. I do NOT constantly tell my self this week that I would see how I could find someone for the kids to "model" for after being told we have the most beautiful kids more than ten times. I do NOT wonder how does one start? I do NOT think about this all the time. No NOT Me.

I did NOT just hear thunder outside, and think the Tahoe is parked with windows open, only to find out it was someone moving their recycle bins! Because I do NOT see that the sun is shinning outside.

Have a great NOT ME MONDAY! When I am done with my work I can't wait to hear what you did NOT do last week! -b
