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.

Serious.Life Magazine.

I wanted you to know about this publication I’m a part of called Serious.Life Magazine. They just published the February issue today, and I am in their Featured Blog Directory. It’s a very high quality magazine… you’ll really like it.

The magazine includes a lot of great content from bloggers you’ll appreciate, as well as great features, photos and other content. The magazine is owned and published by a family who have seven kids, three adopted and one who has Leukemia (www.riggsfamilyblog.com). See side button, Praying for Abby. The magazine gives away a bunch of ads to charities and ministries. Besides great articles on interesting people, there is a lot about family, adoption, personal finance, spiritual life, humor… all sorts of “life” topics.

Blog-a-licious Overhaul

Woo hoo! Hope you all like the new look! Should I just leave it at that or tell the real story...well, you know me. I am gonna let the truth "set me free."



I decided that I was going to try to get fancy and add a pretty "signature" to my blog. HA! It would be a major understatement to say that I really messed up the place! I was in quite a panic to say the least. I hope no one came a knockin while it was all torn up. That might have just been funny. Anyway, I was missing things, things were moved, things were changed...so I decided to wipe it clean and start again...so...TA DA! This is what I spent part of my afternoon doing.



I have several new posts ready to go out early in the morning, so stop back by when you get a chance. My Not me! Monday! will be here as well as a blog about a cool magazine, the magazine is owned and published by a family who have seven kids, three adopted and one who has Leukemia (www.riggsfamilyblog.com).

New Stats...

Just thought I would upate on my lil Tutti-Frutti and how big he is getting...



We went in for his monthly injection and at 5 months, he weighs in at 14 lbs. 2 oz. and he is 25 7/8" long.

Weekly Wednesday

Oh my sweet baby. I think these turned out better than any other Wednesday pictures! What a little ham. He smiled so big his eyes closed!

Gonna be a ladies man, what do you think?

We had a visitor again, but today he was okay with it. We kept having to run the dog off though. He was showing up in the background in every picture.

Boog loves his baby brother!

Guess who's 5 months old today?!?

And he is trying to sit up all by himself...I think I just might cry. He is growing up so fast. Today was also his first day of Kindermusik. I think he had a great time. He "talked" and smiled at Ms. Penni the whole time. Of course we had to chew on our hands during class too! It was so fun going back today. Boog has moved up from class to class. Now he is in the 'big boy" class and goes in by himself. It was neat today because we have babies in our class that had siblings in some of Boog's classes through the years. It is always fun to have new babies at the same time so they can all be friends! Hopefully we can stay in the same classes again and watch the babies grow.

Perfect baby piggies...
