Songs on the radio...

Songs on the radio, don't they just take you back to childhood sometimes? The other night, I volunteered in the nursery for one of the many wonderful Easter services at our church. We had been at the zoo all day so the kids were really tired, well...actually, so was I. Anyway...back on track now. I decided to leave everyone at home with Daddy, except for Tutti-Frutti, you know since Daddy cannot exactly feed him. After church was over, we met Daddy and the other kids for dinner at Chipotle. When we headed to the parking lot, Boog decided he wanted to ride with me and Tutti-Frutti so we were having a good ole time singing along to one of my favorite radio stations. I just love the 80's and it is a rare opportunity for me to actually get to listen to something I like when there are kids in the car. So...back to the story, once again. We were pulling into the neighborhood when Centerfold came on and I was singing along.

Boog shouted from the back, "Mommy, this is my favorite song, I love this song!"

Me: I like this song too. I used to roller skate to this song when I was a little girl. (Ok, so maybe not a little girl.)

Boog: When you were a little girl 'fore I was in your tummy?

Me: Yes.

Boog: Oh. Did Daddy used to roller coaster to this song when he was a little boy without holding on to those thangs?

Me: (stifling back the laughter) Oh, I don't know. You will have to ask him.

Boog: Oh, I used to ice skate to this song.

Welcome to my world! If you can't translate, you had better not visit. Kids are just too funny!

Not me! Monday!

Welcome to Not Me! Monday, where we can be brutally honest with each other, and live to tell about it. When you are finished here, head on over to MckMama's blog to see a list of more not me's. You will be so glad you did!





Let's see...this week, I did not get woken up all night long, almost everynight by a precious 5 month old, because we all know that he is way too old to be waking up in the middle of the night.





So, in light of not being that mom, I most certianly am not so tired during the day that I can barely function!





Then if I am not that mom, I surely did not beg my mother to pick up the older kids from school one day because the little ones were napping and I did not want to wake them up!





I did not try to nap with them one day only to be roused from my near dozing by said 5 month old because he was ready to wake up. Nope, glad that was not me!





On Tuesday, I was not sad because My Knight in Shining Armour went on a field trip with one of the older kids and I did not get to spend the day with him. Nuh uh...wasn't me! Because I know how important it is for Dad's to get a chance to go when they can.





This Friday, I am certianly not taking a 3 year old and a 5 month old on a field trip with another older child's class! What, am I crazy? Wait, do not answer that!





About that field trip, I really never would have thought to ask afore mentioned grandma to take a day off of her busy work schedule so she could go with me to make sure we kept not only the children on the field trip in line, but the little ones as well. That would mean that I might not be able to handle 6 or 7 kids on my own.





I have also not eaten at Chipotle two or more times this week. I certainly know how important variety is!





Surely you all now that I have also not still been procrastinating doing my Disney itenirary! That would be just plain crazy.





You should know too that I am not sitting here typing this one handed because I am holding the most beautiful baby in the world.





The reason I am not holding that baby is because he is for sure not feeling under the weather like the rest of the clan.





Ah, and about the rest of the clan, I have not turned their world upside down by reading and following the advice in this book. Tell them once and walk away...my new motto!



Sunday, I most certianly did not have to redo spruce up my blog because I messed it up so bad I could not fix it...nope, glad that did not happen to me! I had too much to do for that to have happened.



And finally, last night, I surely did not have to pry Tutti-Frutti's foot out of his mouth in order to feed him. Now that would have just been plain funny!



So, now join in the fun and let me know what you did not do...truth...it's good for the soul.
