Not Me! Monday

-


Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

For my first entry in Not Me! Monday, I really had to come up with a few whoppers. Because, you see, I am pretty much perfect. So actually, these transgressions? Yep, NOT ME!

For starters, I did not attempt to cut my son's hair several times last week to get the long hair out of his eyes. If my baby is awake he is MOVING and it is impossible to cut his hair, so nope, not me. Those jagged lines - just a weird growth of baby hair.


And while we are on the subject of my son, I most certainly did not leave him on the living room carpet while I vacuumed the rest of the rug in a circle around him. And I definitely did not come close to running over his hand with the vacuum. And I did not leave the small circle where he was sitting untouched, because as I said before I am impeccably clean, and really I didn't need to vacuum in the first place.

I did not bribe my daughter with treats to get her to cooperate. Nope, Not Me! We only eat health food around here. I know because I recently threw out all the junk food. And it was definately NOT ME who resorted to eating a few cookie sprinkle toppings because I needed a sugar fix because someone threw out all the junk food. Nope. Not me. Which reminds me that I also did not eat most of my husband's box of licorice before he could get his hands on it. Must have been the cat.

Now that I am attempting to get back in shape, I can assure you I am NOT watching shows like "The Girls Next Door" and "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" while on the elliptical trainer. Nope, not me. I only watch shows that help me learn or grow as a person. I would never watch reality shows like those.




What did you not do last week?

I did not watch: The Bachelor, A real chance at love, Rock and Roll tour bus, Momma's boys, Nip tuck, flight of the concords, Big Love, Desperate housewives, Greys anatomy, Private practice, Intervention and a few episodes of Dr. Phil. I did not get 5 hours of sleep last night so I could catch up on the DVR. I did not just eat a small bowl of pumpkin pie ice cream,I did not pop off one of the brackets on my braces last night trying to eat a half popped kernel of popcorn. I did not lie to my orthodontist and tell him I have no idea how it happened. It's been a long week and I didn't do a lot of things.

Don't sell yourself short now, missy. I watch those shows too and I think there is real value there, REAL value.

LOL to the vacuuming everywhere but in the circle whereupon sits the baby with the oddly growing bangs. ;)

I did NOT bribe my child with Chocolate Ice Cream to get him to take his Christmas Pictures! (if you look REAL close you can see some on his mouth) Bribing WORKS! :)

We met you in May of 2004 at the Humane Society. You were the only dog who could have cared less that there were humans walking around.  While all the other dogs barked and barked at us, you lay on the floor curled up and awake, yet quiet and uninterested.  We almost passed you by but after mentioning you to one of the employees they said you were a good boy and that we should take you out for a walk.  Once outside you perked right up and wanted to sniff everything and explore and didn't seem at all like the dog you were inside.  We were hooked. We agreed to take you home and took care of the necessary arrangements.  Your name was Champ because the Humane Society had picked you up on the side of the road, very injured in what they assumed was a fight with another dog.  We were told you were maybe two years old at most.  The Humane Society fixed you up and you healed like a, well, like a champ.  We decided to rename you Baxter. We brought you h...

I’m more than just a stay at home mom.  I read. (see, the stack has grown since last time I showed this picture) I watch television. I exercise. I floss every day.  I go out with girlfriends. I spend time with my husband. I pay attention to current events.  I enjoy cooking. I enjoy drinking wine. I enjoy cooking while drinking wine.  I love trivia games. And Boggle. I make sure most of the food we have in our house is healthy. I love music. I am silly. I am serious. I DON’T like to be scared (meaning that my husband really needs to let me know when he comes home unannounced in the middle of the day and just lets me come downstairs to find him standing there staring at me like a criminal because for a split second I was sure he had just broken in  and that is the ONLY reason I screamed bloody murder and about lost my lunch before realizing who it really was). I am anxious. I am focused. I like schedules and routines. ...

Except Death and Taxes and School Pick Up Problems

Dear you, Hi there! We haven't met so I thought I would introduce myself.  I am a mom of two, a fifth and a third grader, at the school our kids attend.  You might recognize my car, as you drive by it nearly every day when you pass me (and plenty other parents) 10 minutes before school gets out to park at the very front of the pick up line. In a spot that is not a spot. Genius!  I mean why should you get to school early like many of us other parents do and park appropriately in the pick up lane when you can just come nearly at the last minute, go around a line of 30 vehicles, and park in a spot that is not a spot? Why didn't I think of that? You probably have special circumstances.  I'm sure you think that NOBODY else in the pick up lane,  many of whom have been sitting there waiting for 30-45 minutes have ANYTHING better that they could be doing with their time. I especially loved the day that you were parked there and ran over to grab your child and...
