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 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!
In your short time with us, we have discovered that we have way more love in our hearts than we could have ever imagined. We never doubted the fact we could love another child, but probably never imagined just how great it would be having another one to love. You are such a sweet blessing in our lives, now I cannot imagine that we ever lived without you. You are the sweetest most loving baby. You have quite the personality already. You love your big brothers and sister, and they love you. They cannot keep their hands off of you. You have recently discovered the poor helpless dog, I am afriad he might not have such loving feelings toward you...yet.
You are our precious happy baby. You love your mommy and daddy too. You light up the room with smiles when we walk in.
