Not me! Monday

Welcome to Not me! Monday, where we can be brutally honest and live to tell about it.

YIKES!! I have not done one of these in AGES!!! And quite honestly, I have missed it. It is always fun owning up to the "not so wonderful" things you do during the week. I know it makes me feel better.

So, to come back in full swing, I am not using this weeks Not me! Monday to promote my online tutu boutique, TuTu Palooza Boutique. Nope, not me. That would just be weird...but you have to admit, everyone loves tutus. I even have a facebook page for it too.

On a cuter note, this morning while taking my older kids to school, I was explaining something to my sweet 3 year old son and he did not say this to me: "Stop it Mommy. Stop saying words before I blow my whistle at ya!" Nope, not my sweet boy.

I am not sitting here on the computer writing this post instead of working on orders and cleaning house either. Nope, I always prioritize things and start with the most important stuff first.

I am not going to post an absolutely adorable picture of my sweet baby girl wearing a tutu at the end of this post either. You know, just in case you were wondering.

Not me! Monday

Welcome to Not me! Monday, where we can be brutally honest and live to tell about it.

A few weeks ago, it was not me who let my child go to school looking like this! Nope, we care more about our appearance than that.



Since he did not go to school looking like this, we did not see this when we got there!



Nope, we would never let anyone treat our child like that!



Speaking of not me...it is not me who leaves in 2, yes 2 days for Disney World. Good thing too because it is not me who has done no packing, what so ever. Nope, I am more organized and prepared than that.

It is not me who is sitting here at the computer today trying to do a little catching up with my blog so you readers do not run off, never to return again, instead of being upstairs packing. Nope...not me!

Now, head on over to MckMama's new blog and see what everyone else has not been doing.

Happy Monday!

Not me! Monday

Welcome to Not me! Monday, where we can be brutally honest and live to tell about it.

First, let me start off by saying that this is not my son! Nope, I would never let my child go out in public looking like this. We are always well dressed and would never do anything out of the ordinary and draw attention
to ourselves.



This is not my middle son either...nope, when we sign up to play team sports, we pay attention at all times and would never be spinning around or dancing while playing in the outfield.



This is not him either, remember, we pay attention!



And having children of your own, most of you will not ever guess the sequence of events that happens next...







Nope, that was not the cutest puppy (or excuse me...DOG, as Tutti-Frutti calls every small animal he sees, sometimes large ones too...) that we have ever seen...nope, I did not let my sweet baby put his finger near the cutest puppy in the world's face...nope, cutest puppy in the world did not bite my sweet baby on the finger with his razor sharp teeth! What kind of mother do you think I am...and to even think you people thought I let it happen OR take pictures...I am offended! :0)

Now back to the regularly scheduled t-ball game, in progress...batter up!



While wearing his brother's batting helment, Tutti-Frutti did not (on several occasions) nearly fall over backward because it was the helment was too heavy. Nope, we would not let our baby toddle around with a heavy batting helment on, in hopes of getting a good shot!



I am not so far behind on blogging that I could easily put up lots and lots of Easter pictures (Christmas for that matter, if there were not other people's children in them) and not run out of pictures for a very long time. Nope, I am on top of the blogging game and always post pictures within minutes of taking them!







This is not what the poor baby had to do while everyone else was coloring eggs. Nope, he particpated right along with us, we leave no one out!



The mighty egg brigade...







Nope, no Easter pictures here...never...a month late...



This dog did not bite...



Oh yea, and this little creature WILL NOT be turning 5 on Wednesday. Nope, he is still my baby, no matter what he says. Which by the way did not go something like this...

Me: "I cannot believe my baby is turning 5 on Wednesday, I do not want you to turn 5, I want you to stay my baby forever."

Boog: "No, I wanna turn 5. I'm getting taller."

Me: "I do not want you to get any taller, I want you to stay the size you are you are right now."

Boog: "Well, that is just how it works!"

Me: "Well, alrighty then...I guess you can turn 5."



Oh and before I forget...I have not been following Scott Baio (I LOVE SCOTT BAIO) on Twitter for awhile, I have not tweeted him on occasion and THERE IS NO WAY THAT HE HAS ACTUALLY TWEETED ME BACK ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS! Since that did not happen, my heart did not skip a beat and I did not almost nearly die!!!!

Now, run on over to MckMama's and see what everyone else has not been doing lately...

Happy Not Me'ing...

Not me! Monday

Welcome to Not me! Monday, where we can be brutally honest and live to tell about it.

First let me just get something off of my chest. Today is not the first day back at school since spring break and I am not sad about it. I did not enjoy getting to sleep in (ok, well maybe we didn't do much sleeping in) and not having to wake any children before they were ready to get up. Nope, I am thrilled that the kids went back to school and that I had to set my alarm clock this morning.

Next, let me add that we did not get to keep the pre-school mascot over the entire spring break! Nope, how lucky would that be!



Said panguin (penguin...Gingerbread Man) did not hide from us and make us come looking for him either.



He did not get into any mischeif while he was here. Nope, not Gingerbread Man!



He was not found this morning "Crocodile Rockin'" either. Nope, not our Gingerbread man!



He was not so tired from all of the mischeif that he had to climb up on the couch with two tired little boys either!



Last night, I did not have the pleasure of chatting on the phone with one of my dear bloggy reader friends either. Nope, that would be too weird and her husband might think I was going to chop her into little pieces through the phone. That would never happen. Right, Lindsey? :)

I am not so ready for the school year to be over that I can hardly stand it either...Nope, I bask in the glory of getting to set my alarm clock. EVERY.SINGLE.MORNING.

What I am not looking forward to is my baby turning 5 next month and starting kindergarten in the fall. NOPE...I am not happy one bit and you can take that to the bank. NOT HAPPY. If I keep chanting that, do you think I can just keep him at home with me forever?

Good thing about summer approaching, we are going back to Disney World! Woo hoo! Cannot wait!

Happy Monday, even though it is Monday and even though it is the Monday after spring break...UGG. I had to remind myself. Hop on over to MckMama's and see what everyone else is denying today! :)

Not me! Monday

Welcome to Not me! Monday, where we can be brutally honest and live to tell about it.

First let me start by saying, it is not my kids spring break this week! Woo hoo! I am not excited either.

I am not tickled pink that I do not have to set an alarm clock for 9 whole days! Nope, not me! I love the sound of the crazy alarm clock going off when it is still dark outside.

It is not my kids who, since daylight savings time began, that have slept until 7:30 or 8! No reason to get excited over that one, it is technically the same time they normally get up but there is just something comforting about seeing a 7 or 8 that makes it easier to get up and face the day.

Today, we are not expecting a friend and her 2 boys to come over and spend most of the week in town! This is not one of my dear friends from high school that I do not get to see nearly enough. We are not so excited we can barely contain ourselves. Nope, the kids were not up at 7 asking when they would get here!

Tonight, we are not going to grill burgers and hotdogs to celebrate their arrival either. Nope...not gonna happen.

I did not go buy the little boys some summer clothes last week because our weather went from snow one week to 85 the next, only to return this week to highs in the low 70's. Nope, I wait until I am sure the warm weather is sure to stick around before I submit to panic mode and go nuts looking for the latest in summer fashion. Oh, and I have not done this EXACT SAME THING EVERY YEAR for as long as I can remember either.

Now, hop on over to MckMama's and see what everyone else has not been doing.

Not me! Monday

Welcome to Not me! Monday, where we can be brutally honest and live to tell about it.

I have not been waiting all day for a phone call that was scheduled for between 9am and 10am this morning. Nope, I never have to wait on anything, espcially a phone call. I have way more important things to be doing...like showering!

When 9am rolled around and passed on to 10am, I did not get a little worked up, wondering why on earth my call had not come in. Nope, not me. I am a very patient person.

When 11am rolled around, I was not getting more agitated and did not call the office and find out that they were running a "little" behind.

I had not been neglecting to take a shower for fear of getting in and the phone ringing. Nope, like I said, I have way more important things to be doing besides sitting around waiting for the phone to ring.

When 12pm rolled around, I did not assume that the office was probably closed for lunch. But instead of getting into the shower, I did not decide just to read my book since Tutti-Frutti was napping. Nope, I jumped right on the chance to get that shower.

When 1pm rolled around, I was not still reading my book. Nope, I had showered, dried and fixed my hair and gotten dressed by now!

When 2pm finally rolled around, Tutti-Frutti was not up from his nap and fussing. Nope, he is always in a good mood. Since I had yet to receive the phone call, I did not decided that I really needed to get a move on. I mean seriously, it is 2pm and I have not (really) so much as taken a shower.

2:15, I did not decide to just lean over the tub and wash my hair so I could hear the phone. Nope, really? Was the phone call THIS important that I was willing to just wash my hair instead of showering?!?

I was not so afraid that the phone would ring while I was washing my hair and that I would not hear it that I put it on the back edge of the tub risking it falling into the running water. Nope, I LOVE my phone too much to risk that for any kind of phone call.

When 2:30pm rolled around, I did not just resign to the fact that I was probably just not going to get the phone call today. Nope, they said they would call today, between 9 and 10, I am sure they were just running a "bit" late. I then did not just decide to hop in the tub really quick and wash off.

While in the tub, I did not put my beloved phone on the edge once again for fear of missing the call. Nope, remember I would never risk my phone falling in water!

Since the phone had not rang yet, there is no chance whatsoever that the (you guessed it) phone rang while I was IN the tub bathing. Nope, that did not happen.

I had not been looking so forward to this call all day that I just dried my hands off and answered it right from the tub. Nope, I would never talk on the phone while I was in the tub. Who does that?!?

When I was put on hold while on said phone call, there is no way that I just continued to wash myself either. When the lady came back, I did not continue to wash and rinse as if nothing else were going on. Nope, that would have been rude.

I did not get out of the tub, dry off and dress all while on the phone. Nope. Never.

Oh yea, and the lady on the other end of the phone? Well, she never even had a clue what was going on on the other end of the phone! :)

Happy Monday! Head on over to MckMama's and see what everone else has not been doing...

Not me! Monday

Welcome to Not me! Monday, where we can be brutally honest and live to tell about it.

Friday night, my wonderful and handsome husband and I did not get to go on yet another date this year! That would make 3 in less than 2 months people! Nope, not us! We never get out!

Speaking of the date, we soooo did not need that date. We have not been ugly to each other and just plain crabby in general since everyone was sick a few weeks ago. Nope, we always get along beautifully. We always agree on everything and always slather eachother with never ending affection and attention. We have not been exhausted and mentally drained lately so there was no reason to take a few hours alone together to recharge.

Saturday night, we did not get to meet up with 2 sets of friends for dinner at Chipotle. Nope, for starters, we do not like Chipotle and secondly, we would never be lucky enough to meet friends for dinner, muchless 2 sets of them! The kids did not have a great time hanging out with buddies either. The food was not awesome (as usual) either. Nope, it was horrible. After dinner, we did not meet up with yet another set of friends and hang out and enjoy the cool crisp wind and great conversation. We would never be lucky enough to see 3 sets of friends in one night, ever!

I have not been in a crabby funk lately. Nope, I am always in a wonderful mood, cheerful and happy all of the time. Seriuosly...I really am! I would never been in a funk and not know why. Not me.

I have not been freaked out (yet again) because I have been thinking about my baby turning 5! Good gracious! My baby is nowhere near turning 5 and he certianly does not tell me often that he is indeed almost 5. I am glad too because that just might send me over the edge. And trust me, here lately...we do not need me any closer to that edge!

Speaking of my baby not turning 5, we did not go to the school's open house and pick up registration papers for kindergarten either! Nope, I will not be letting my baby leave for kindergarten. Not me!

Ok, I think that is probably all I am up to confessing for now so head on over to MckMama's and badger someone else! ;o) As for me, I will be hanging out in my funk I am sure! Happy not me'ing.

Not me! Monday

Welcome to Not me! Monday, where we can be brutally honest and live to tell about it.

Last Friday while I was in MOPS, my pager did not go off, signaling that my dear sweet little one was in distress. Nope, remember...my kids LOVE MOPS and would never cry the whole entire time I was gone! They play nicely with other children while Mommy has a little time away with the other Mommies.

Recently, without really even noticing, we have not started a tradition of always going to Taco Bell on Sunday for lunch since Daddy is working. Nope, I feed my children home cooked meals at every meal. I mean seriously, that is what stay at home mommies are supposed to do, right?!?

We did not finally get our xbox back (did I even mention that it broke and we had to send it off for the red ring of death warranty repair?) last Friday. So last night after dinner, the Round the World Rock Tour did not start back up. Nope, we put our kids in bed at a reasonable time and spent the rest of Valentines Day together alone.

For dinner last night, we did not make pink and red heart shaped pancakes for the kids. Nope, we do not ever put that much thought or effort into making something for the kiddos.



They did not LOVE IT either! Oh, and this was not taken with my phone either, I am not so tacky as to post a picture on my blog that I used my phone camera to take. I am not so lazy that I just uploaded it to the computer instead of getting up, going to the other room to get the camera that has much better pictures of the pancakes! Nope, not me!

For Valentines Day, my hubby was not sooo super sweet that he and the children made poster signs for them to hold and him to photograph to put in a digital picture frame for my gift. Nope, he is not that thoughtful.

I do not have the most amazing husband and kids ever...Nope, not me. I am not that lucky!

Now, how bout you? What did you not do this week? Hop on over to MckMama's and see what is going on over there. Happy Monday!

Not me! Monday

Welcome to Not me! Monday, where we can be brutally honest and live to tell about it.

This weekend, my hubby and I did not get to have yet another night out this month (making the grand total stand at 2) with friends. Nope, not us, we always stay home every night, of every weekend to make sure we are the one putting the kiddos to bed. It was not a friend's birthday shindig that we attended and it was not at a karaoke bar! It was not an absolute blast either. Nope, we stood in a corner bored the whole time!

Being the shy gal that I am, while at the shindig, I did not join other women and actually sing a few songs either. Nope, way to super shy for that one!

This week, the kids are not out of school for a few extra days. They have to go every single day this week! So, as for making the best of them not having days off, I absolutely did not make a dental appointment for 3/4 of them on a day my husband has to work. Nope, what...do I look that crazy?!?

I am not enjoying this cold weather that blew back in either. Nope, not me. I hate the cold!

I am not thrilled that MOPS started again last Friday. I mean who would be excited about hanging out with their friends on a Friday morning, eating good food and having a 2 hour break from kiddos? Not me!

Ok, join the fun...head on over to MckMama's and join us! Happy Not me'ing!

Not me! Monday

Welcome to Not me! Monday, where we can be brutally honest and live to tell about it.

There is no way that today I was considering taking a day off and not doing Not me! Monday because honestly...I didn't think I had anything. Nope, not me!

This morning when we got up, it was not me who had completely forgotten about an appointment for Boog at the ENT that we have been waiting for for several months. Nope, not me. I keep everything on my calendar and set reminders and reminders for the reminders. I would never forget an appointment.

Upon remembering the appointment at 7am, it was not me who began to freak out and rush and try to get kids up and ready and myself into the shower. Nope, we had a leisurely morning getting ready for schoool. I would never rush my children in the mornings, especially because I myself had forgotten about something.

It was not me that had forgotten that Sour Apple had one more basketball game, TODAY after school. It was not me who did not find this out until we were pulling into school. Of course, it is also not me who will be taking a basketball uniform to the school on my way home from Boog's appointment. Nope, we are prepared and always ready for anything!

It was not me who on the way to school was about to get seriously hacked off at my car because it would not warm up this morning. Our crazy Texas weather always has us guessing so it was not me this morning who did not start the car 15 minutes before we left. It was not me who discovered once we were half way to school that the reason my car would not warm up is because the thermostat was half in the middle of hot and cold! Oops!

It was not me who once arriving back home, tried to let the dog outside by opening the pantry door! Nope, I know what I am doing every second of every day! I would never make an idiot of myself! NEVER!

Lastly, it was not me, with lots of help from Sour Apple that spent most of the weekend cleaning and organizing the downstairs and playroom. Nope, I mean seriously...the playroom? Why on earth would we do that? You know as well as I do that as soon as these two little creatures get in there to play, it will be back in the shape it was in, if not worse, in less than half an hour!

Wheew...Ok, off to finish getting ready for the appointment that I did not forget about!

Happy Not me'ing! Now head on over to MckMama's and join the fun because she will not be hosting a Not me today...I mean seriously, she was on a cruise last week, no way she'll join the fun!

Not me! Monday

Welcome to Not me! Monday, where we can be brutally honest and live to tell about it.

I am not totally sure if there will be a link up at MckMama's today, but I thought I would carry on. I do have a pretty good not me...hehe.

While picking up a few (ok maybe not a few) things at Sam's Club the other day, my wonderful hubby and I did not see that they now carry Cheesecake Factory Cheesecake and there were not 3 different flavors in one box and 2 of the 3 were not our favorite flavors! I mean seriously, how lucky would we be if that were to have been the case?!? I love you White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle...I do!

I did not seriously debate whether or not to actually attend my high school reunion that was last night. Nope, I knew I wanted to go all along. I never once thought, well...we could always leave early and do something else, I mean we do have a babysitter so the kids are good. Nope, that would have been rude. I mean seriously, I grew up with these people!

Back to the cheesecake...after dinner the other night, we did not realize that we should have taken the cheesecake out of the freezer hours earlier so it could be thawing while we messed around so we could enjoy it after dinner. My wonderful hubby took it out of the box and removed the little pieces of wax paper and neatly arranged them on a plate to thaw. It was not me who verbally assaulted him, demanding to know where he put the little pieces of cheesecake smeared wax papers. It was really not me who then proceed to take them back out of the box and lick them clean. Nope, I mean seriously...I have more self control than that! Who does that???

It was not me who on Sunday went out in public with 3 children dressed in their pjs still, while being dressed myself in sweat pants, a baggy tshirt and boots with my hair pulled back, all because I was too lazy to get anyone dressed and ready. I would never take my beautiful babies out in their pjs. What kind of parent do you think I am anyway?

It is not my dog who is outside right now because he managed to wreck himself and has turned the lower half of his body from white to black! It is not me who is going to ask in my sweetest most sincere voice ever if my husband will clean him up when he gets home!

I am not excited that the kids are out of school tomorrow! Not that I will get to sleep in, but you never know...I might just stay in my pjs again all day!

It is not me who wrote a post yesterday and then right in the middle of the story ended with, "to be continued..." Nope, I would never leave my readers hanging like that just to see if they will actually come back...hehe

Ok, that is about it for me. What did you not do? I would steer you on over to MckMama's but she is on a cruise right now so I do not know if she is going to put up a link. I guess it is worth a try. I mean she is probably in her room sulking right now because she is not having a wonderful time at all!

Have a wonderful Monday and enjoy your not me'ing!

Not me! Monday

Welcome to Not me! Monday, where we can be brutally honest and live to tell about it.

This has not been the longest week ever it seems. Nope, I have no reason to complain, it was only a 4 day return to reality week!

To celebrate the week coming to an end, it is not me and my children who have been in our pajamas since Friday night! Nope, I would never ever do that to my kids. We did not have baths Friday night and put pajamas on to only be still wearing them on Sunday afternoon! Nope, never.

*Side note, I did bathe last night and put my pajamas back on! The children on the other hand...nah, not so much.

I have not been thinking about nothing but a Dairy Queen dipped ice cream cone daily since it has been cold around here this last week. It is not me that cannot seem to kick the idea out of my head that I should just put the kids in the car (in their pajamas) and take them to DQ so we can get ice cream! Nope, not me. I am more logical than that. I would never drag my kids out in these temps just to satisfy my desire for ice cream. Good gracious no, the high has only been in the 30s! Now, just for the record, we were out on Friday and went by to get a cone and the machine was froze up, the water going to DQ had frozen so no ice cream cones for us.

It is not my sweet little children who have been waking me up at all hours of the night and then insisting on waking up and getting up this weekend at the lovely hour of just 6am! Nope, they love to sleep.

It is not me who just loves the cold weather we have been having. Nope, not me. I love the sweltering heat we normally have. I am not enjoying bundling up one bit!

It is not my precious youngest child who has turned into a screaming wild child the last few days, from what I am hoping is new teeth coming in. You know, then at least there would be a reason for it!

It is not me who is considering breaking the record for most hours staying home in pj's tonight because I do not want to cook or clean up the mess. Humm, anyone know of a "come in your pajamas" kind of restaraunt around here? Hehe

Happy Not Me'ing...run on over to MckMama's and see what else people have not been doing lately!

Not me! Monday

Welcome to Not me! Monday, where we can be brutally honest and live to tell about it.

Wow! First of all, it is NOT ME that has been MIA for I do not even know how long. Nope, I have been participating in every Not me Monday post since MckMama started this thing! I am a loyal blogger and would never leave my dear readers hanging, thinking I had fallen off of the face of the earth!

It is not me who has not posted any pictures of my dear sweet little angels lately. Nope, I am on top of things and I have all of my ducks in a row.

It is not me that still has a Christmas tree in the living room and Christmas decorations in the yard! Nope, we take our stuff down on New Years Day! Not a day earlier, not a day later. So, when Boog begged to not take the tree down, we took it down anyway!

It is not me who is dreading getting back into the swing of things tomorrow, taking kids to school, music and following a schedule again. Nope, I love schedules and having places to go!

It is not me who enjoyed having 2 whole weeks off with my kids at home. It was not us who stayed in our pj's most everyday till after noon! Nope, we were up and out the door with things to do!

It was not my husband who had extra days off because of the holiday schedule at work, and it was not us who enjoyed having daddy home so much! Nope, we love it when daddy goes to work and leaves us home.

It is not me who is going to make a real effort to get back into blogging again! Nope, not me!

Now, let me see if it is not me who can find a picture of some sort to hold you loyal readers over until I get off of my rear and post some recent pictures and bring you up to speed on what has been going on with Momma's Monkeys!

It was not our church that brought in real snow for the kids to play in for the Christmas Eve services, and it was really not us who chose the WINDIEST DAY EVER to go to the Christmas Eve service. It was not Boog who insisted on playing in the snow even though the wind was about to carry him away!



It was not Lemon Drop that wanted to go out there with him to play. And it was not me who went out too so I could be a good mommy and get some pictures. It was not so slippery that we nearly fell...on several occasions either. Nor did our feet push through the snow and get wet!



He was not so happy to be out there that he could barely contain the smile. Oh, and his nose was not red either!



Each year on Christmas Eve, it is not us that let the kids open one gift (a pair of pj's for Christmas morning) so they had not been asking all day. They had not been asking so much, that Boog was so worked up and excited...



Well, apparently...it was not Boog who remembered that we ALWAYS get pj's on Christmas Eve! Poor guy! Of course, it was not his loving parents and siblings that giggled (to ourselves of course) when we saw the face he made when he opened his package!



Someone did not care what was in his package. It was also not the only package he cared about opening...through all of our Christmas celebrations!



I am sure, it was not you readers that have missed seeing this funny little face either!



Oh yea...and it was not Tutti-Frutti that was angered by the taking away of Santa's cookie! Nope, he is more than willing to share with some strange guy that sneaks into your house in the middle of the night while you are sleeping to leave presents under your tree!



Happy Not Me'ing! Now run on over and see what everyone else is guilty of...oops, I mean not guilty of!

Not me! Monday

Welcome to Not me! Monday, where we can be brutally honest and live to tell about it.

Wow, welcome back! It is not me who has missed posting a Not me! for 2 weeks! Nope, I am on the ball and love Not me! I would never miss an opportunity to participate.

It is not me who has a mischevious 13 (nearly 14) month old baby who refuses to let me on the computer. Nope, my children are calm and well mannered. They can entertain themselves for hours and couldn't care less where I am or what I am doing.

It is not me who shot a wedding this weekend! Nope, I am nowhere near ready for jumping in to something that big!



It is not me who took pictures of my best friend's little girl 3 weeks ago and have not so much as shown her even a hint of a sneak peek at the pictures! Nope, not me. I am on the ball and quick with my proofing. My child allows me endless time on the computer so I finish all of my proofing on the same day! (Excuse me while I roll over laughing here!!!)



I did not think that face was pretty darned cute!

While waiting on them to arrive, I did not take the opportunity to snap some great ones of my boys that I already have proofed too!



We are not starting to feel crummy around our house either. We sleep well, wake up rested and are all in a great mood! HA!

Yesterday, I did not take the 3 boys to the zoo for ZooBoo while Daddy was at work. Nope, are you kidding me? Me, take them by myself. Never...just have not (really) put them on the computer yet. Still kinda freaking out over the mass number of wedding shots I just uploaded. Sigh.

Have a great Monday! Hop on over to MckMama's, she is giving out prizes today!
