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!

First things first...you will be happy to know that I did indeed make it all the way up the stairs at MOPS this week with no incident! Yay! We can move on now...

This week, after weeks of hot humid weather, we did not get a cold front! I am so glad this did not happen because we all know how I do not just LOVE the cold weather.

However, to go along with the cold weather that we did not have, we also have not had 4 (yes 4!) days of rain. Eeek...now cold and rain, I am not a fan of.

Since we did not have cold rainy days this week, I did not drag take the two little ones to the mall this week! Nope, not me! I would never drag take my babies out intentionally in the rain (that we did not have) just to go to the mall. What kind of mother do you think I am? Since that did not happen, we certainly did not get soaked, several times, getting to and from the car as well as a few outside stores! Glad that did not happen, what kind of parent does that?!? I mean, what could possibly have been that stinkin' important?

Last Saturday at Church, my dear, sweet, wonderful, handsome husband and I absolutely did not under any circumstances at all bribe make a deal with our sweet little 3 year old Boog by telling him that if for the next 2 times we go to Church and MOPS, he does not cry, we will buy him a Beggie Tales (Veggie Tales) Pirate Ship from the bookstore. Nope, not us!

So, Friday morning, he screamed like a wild child going into his class at MOPS, but he made it thru and had a grand ole time. No pirate ship...Saturday night going to church, never cried the whole way there, dropped Tutti-Frutti off, headed for Boog's class and he started in, "If you leave me in my class, I evah won't see you." Sure enough, he pitched a big one going in but made it thru and had a grand ole time. So...guess what he asked us before he EVER got out of the room? Yep, the pirate ship. We did not have to tell him no because he had cried going in; therefore, no pirate ship this time. We again told him if he does not cry next time we go to MOPS or church, he gets the pirate ship. Well, being the softies that we are, we most defiantly did not take him to the bookstore and get him a movie! WHAT?!? We rewarded the behavior anyway? Well, it's not like we actually got the pirate ship!

It is getting better each week though, he now goes into kid's church from his classroom, sings and dances and has a boot scootin' good time. Now, if we could only get him in there without the tears. There's always next week.

Oh, and this week is not Spring Break! Woo hoo! I absolutely will not be getting up early any day for the next 7 days! Now, will someone come break the news to Boog and Tutti-Frutti! HA! Too bad that is just a fantasy! How nice would that be?!

Sunday night, we (handsome husband and I) did not cram gently place Tutti-Frutti into one leg of a pair of boys size 12 shorts in order to work out a way to make them into a jumper so all of the boys would have matching attire for an upcoming photo shoot. Nope, not us! That would not be a very nice thing to do...and he did not have a great time chewing on the pants and zipper while we were measuring him either! Nope, not our child! He has way too many toys to have to resort to that kind of behavior. So...I guess what I am trying to say is...you will never find pictures to prove it...

And, as I sit and type this tonight, waiting to be the first to post on Mr. Linky in the morning (yeah, right!) I am totally not singing...

Jingle Bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg...
Batmobile lost a wheel and Joker got away! Nope, not me!

That's it for my fun times, now get your hiney over to MckMama's and see what everyone else has to say for themselves, I know I will. Happy Not me'ing!

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!

This morning, I am not sitting in the dark trying to get this typed out before I have to take the kids to school. Nope, not me! I am way too organized and on top of things to have waited until the very last minute possible to do something.

Yesterday, we did not take all 4 of the kids to see The Jonas Brothers at the rodeo. Nope, what are we....crazy? Hey, do not answer that!

If we had indeed gone to that concert, there is just no way that Tutti-Frutti slept thru the majority of it! I mean come on...there were 72,469ish people there and 72,400 of them were screaming teeny bopper girls. How on earth could he have possibly slept thru that?!?

It is a good thing we did not go to that concert too, that might have meant that we went to bed way too late on a school night...and everyone knows that we never put our kids in bed late on school nights. It might also mean that I had to drag children from their nice warm beds, when what I really wanted to do was climb in bed beside them. It might also mean that I would still have 2 of the 4 still sleeping when we need to leave in less than 15 minutes...oh, and did I mention that I am still sitting here typing? Guess you got that?

Oh...so glad that I did not fall UP a flight of stairs...twice...and inflict a lovely bruise on my left shin that still throbs days later...that would have been sooo super embarrassing and I would never admit to that happening. I soooo outgrew my clumsiness years ago!

Ah, and Thursday night...there is absolutely no way that I had a dinner/dessert date with the ladies from MOPS, and since I did not have that date, I certainly did not have a great time. Speaking of that date...you know, the one I did not have, I absolutely did not get to go without any children!!! Well, mostly...Tutti-Frutti joined us for his dinner while we were not having dessert. Glad none of that actually happened...that might have been way too fun and I cannot handle that much fun in one night anymore! Wheew, tired just thinking about it.

I guess that about wraps up my week of things that I did not do. Now, head on over to MckMama's to see what everyone else did not do this week. You will be so glad you did. Happy not me'ing!

This week, my precious baby boy did not turn 6 months old! No way! He is still my tiny little man. When going thru his clothes this week, I did not find a tiny preemie outfit and get all teary eyed and wonder how you have grown so fast.

Friday morning, I did not have to get up at the crack of dark in order to have time to shower, get myself and 4 children completely ready, cook a breakfast casserole for MOPS, call a neighbor for aluminum foil and deal with a screaming , fit throwing 3 year old who did not want to go to MOPS all by 7:30. Nope, not me!

I also did not have to take said 3 year old into the bathroom at CHURCH to spank him in order for him to calm down and stop his hissy fit. Remember the wild banchee child from church last Saturday? Well, good thing he didn't return or this might have actually happened!

I did not get to Sour Apple's basketball game 30 minutes early, thinking we were only 15 minues early to discover that all of the teams playing before us were running way late. Then I certianly did not have to stay at the gym for around 2 hours entertaining 2 small children while trying to visit with other mothers and watch the game.

I am definately not writing part of this post on Saturday, wondering how Boog is going to act tonight when we drop him off for church!

Updated to add: Boog continued the above mentioned hissy fit all the way to church, thru the parking lot, into the church, to Tutti-Frutti's classroom, down the hall to his classroom and we did have to pry him from our legs to get him inside...screeching the entire way. Only to have us return from hearing an awesome message on Love one short hour later to gather our wonderfully calm happy 3 year old child! WHAT? Yep, our wonderfully calm child played with other children, colored a beautiful picture, went to kid's church, watched the program, went back to his class, had snack and played with other children AND told us he had fun! Yay for us!

Sunday, I absolutely did not go into public looking like a homeless lady with my mother, aunt and 2 youngest children because my mom said we would not be getting out anywhere. Well, guess what...we got out somewhere, actually 2 somewhere's...good thing I did not run into anyone I knew!

Enjoy your week and go check out MckMama's blog for more wonderful Not me's!

I guess I have had somewhat of a boring week...

But, Sunday in particular, I did not play around on the computer instead of cleaning and doing laundry! Nope, not me! I would never do that because I am the perfect wife and mother and we must always have a clean house and freshly done laundry, and it must always be folded and put away!

Saturday night (Valentine's Day) I did not get to have a yummy candlelit dinner alone with my husband after the munchkins went to bed. Nope, not me! This could never happen because when we put the kids down, we always fall asleep too so I know this could not have actually happened!

Friday, I most certianly did not actually get to attend MOPS at our church with 2 small children in tow. Nope, not me! Anyone who knows me knows this could never happen because 1) Boog will not go into kid's church and 2) I do not trust anyone to keep Tutti-Frutti! (There is actually a story and a reason for that one. Also the reason Boog does not stay in kid's church without crying.) So, not sure why I am talking about such a lovely outing that did not happen, or the fact that I had a great time! Woo hoo for MOPS!

Thursday, I did not beg my mother to meet us at Sour Apple's school because he had to turn in a project that should have taken 2 grown men to carry in! Wheew, anyone ever done a salt map? I did not beg her to meet us because surely I alone could juggle a baby, a 3 year old, an 11 year old, a saxaphone with stand and a backpack into the school. I am supermom you know! Thursday afternoon, hubby was outside doing some work to a friend's car and Boog was out with him. While playing outside, Boog did not get a HUGE (as in GINORMOUS) mosquito bite on his cheek! And the bite would certianly not still be there on Sunday as I type this.

Wednesday, I did not convince my wonderful hubby to take us back to the zoo again for the second time in a couple of weeks because it was a beautiful day. Nope, not me! And, since we did not go or have a fantastic time, you will never find pictures of said trip in a post a few days ago titled, Baby Giraffes, Cheetah's and Meerkats...Oh My!

Tuesday, we were not late getting to Tutti-Frutti's music class because we were messing around for too long getting ready. Nope, not us! That would never happen because we are always on time for everything that we do!

Well, I think that pretty much sums up my boring week of things that I did not do. Now, what about you? What did you not do this week? Now, want more fantastic lists to occupy your time, head on over to MckMama's and see what everyone else has not been doing!
