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.

S' Never too late for Snow...

A little late, but here they are...a few weeks ago, it snowed, AGAIN! Well, if you really want to call it that. It snowed for a few minutes, big fluffy flakes, but by the time we dug out jackets and put shoes on the kids, it was more like really wet snow flakes, on the verge of just really cold rain. Oh well...I still got some pictures.

The way the little boys were acting, you would have thought it was a blizzard, they were super excited. Silly boys.



Tutti-Frutti was not sure what to think but he ended up having the most fun. He fell a few times and got soaked, his face and hands were red but he did not care.



He toddled all over the yard and up and down the sidewalk and driveway. Smiling the whole way. :)



I could not find any gloves but what surprises me the most is that he actually kept the hat on!



Do you see the white blur in the lower right hand side of the picture? Haha...that is the plastic bag that I had my camera in while taking pictures. The snow was way too wet to just have my camera out. :(



I'm pretty sure he was saying, "Yay!"



Not sure what he was thinking.



The poser is back.



Randomness...







Uh-oh, got my boots wet.

A Randomness Update...

Not much new and exciting here. Other than, if anyone has been paying attention, you know that I did not post anything on Tutti-Frutti's 18 month birthday. Ugg...We did take pictures. I did think about trying to get something online but the truth of the matter is, my computer has been going nutzo on me lately. I think we finally managed to get it worked out. It had some kind of crazy virus or a cold or a cough or something. Anytime I signed on to my profile, it sent me all sorts of warnings and other crazy random things. I was honestly afraid to put pictures on it, I did not know if by some freak accident it would wipe my card clean or if by opening my picture program it might flub with it. So, I felt better just not taking any chances.

I went and got an anti-virus program and at first that did not even seem to be working. I was on the verge of calling in the professionals but miraculously, I think we are back up and running. My last post was done on my mom's computer and a few of the other ones with no pictures was done from my phone. Boy was that fun.

Anyway, I am hoping to get a little time in the next little while to get the pics up and update you on how our little guy is progressing. He actually does not have his 18 month well check until the 23rd or so. I might just wait until then and do an "official" post. Of course by then, he will be almost 19 months old. Oh well.

We are on the count down to spring break! Woo hoo! Cannot wait. No real plans as of yet, I do have a friend from high school coming in for part of the week, her boys are 12 and 8 so I know the kids will have a great time.

My plan is to NOT have to get up at the crack of dawn, get dressed and go somewhere. I can count on getting up at the crack of dawn thanks to the 2 little guys but I think it is safe to assume that at least I will not have to get ready and leave before daylight, lets hope anyway!

The weather here has been psycho. I heard something funny from a friend on facebook. I think it went something like, we live in the bi-polar state. It snows one week then we are wearing shorts and running the a/c the next. Crazy weather.

So...how are you doing?

4. How many pairs of shoes do you own?


5. What's your favorite kind of M&M's...peanut, almond, straight up regular, etc.?

****************************************************************************
1. What's your guilty pleasure?

Humm, that is a hard one...I would have to say my iPhone. With it, I hardly ever get on the actual computer anymore, hence the lack of blogging lately. :( I can FaceBook, blog and blog hop from it. I love it! My next would be Dirty Dancing! I love me some Dirty Dancing!!! I have the vhs and dvd, yet every time it comes on tv, cable or not, you will find me sitting and watching it! Uh, like right now...hehe.

2. What is your favorite TV series?

There are a few actually. We of course dvr them all. I like Desperate Housewives, Extreme Home Makeover, LOST, (I love to hate it and hate to love it!)19 Kids and Counting and Highschool Reunion. I have a love hate relationship with the Bachelor and Bachelorette too. I can take it or leave it though.

3. Can you speak any foreign languages?

Haha...I wish you could call it that. I can understand some but hardly speak it at all. I can read it better than understand spoken or speak. So, I will go with no. Sadly I do not.

4. How many pairs of shoes do you own?

Can I plead the 5th or just say..."enough" and leave it at that? Hehe. Actually, since having children, I have toned down my shoe fettish. BUT, I am guilty of having a children's shoe fettish now. Humm. I do have quite a few pairs though. My new favorites are my black Uggs though. I. Love. Them. 'Nuff said.

5. What's your favorite kind of M&M's...peanut, almond, straight up regular, etc.?

I am really not a huge fan of candy. That said, I like the little mini M&M's and I will eat the individual sized bag occasionally of the plain M&M's or the peanut M&M's. There is something about going to the movies though, I have a desire to have peanut M&M's then. (with a pickle!)

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...
