The Mighty M Family

It’s Monday again and you know what that means – time for Not Me! Monday.  If you want to play along visit MckMama   for all the information! I did not make brownies and let my daughter clean up the spoon. Let me assure you I know my washer and dryer very well.  Therefore I can whole-heartedly declare I DID NOT put a load of clothes to wash in the dryer and get momentarily confused about why the start buttons looked so different!  I did not go to the spa on Saturday.  Nope.  No massage or pedicure for me.   Those aren’t my feet either. I also did not have a close call with  my son and a vase of tulips that he managed to topple and have crash on the floor behind him.  I did not freak out one bit and I did not feel at all like a horrible mother. But had that happened, I would say that a valuable lesson has been learned about where to put the flowers in the house.  On March 16th, 2003 I did not get surprised at the Sham...

Welcome to Not Me! Monday, where we get to fess up about all the things in our life that just could possibly NOT happen.  If you want to play along, visit MckMama for all the rules!  I did not neglect to write down any of my “did not’s”  for Not Me! Monday this week, which means as I sit here now I am not having a complete brain shut down.  Fortunately my kids did not do a couple things that I did document, thus giving me some material for this week. My son did not learn this equation this week: Cereal + High Chair + Drop = One Happy Dog.   And I do not have the pictures to prove it. Who, me? My daughter does not like to mix and match her Play Doh until it resembles a tie-dyed t-shirt. Said Play-Doh is not going to eventually look like a big blob of one blah-color. Since it is March, and spring is nearly here, we definitely did not get a pile of snow last week!    I also have not been spending plenty of time the pa...

Welcome to Not Me! Monday, where you can get the full and complete rundown of what I DID NOT do last week.  If you want to join in on the fun, head over to MckMama’s page and play along!  I, being of sound mind, grace, and elegance certainly did not walk smack into an open cabinet door that just happened to be at the height of my head.  I did not open said cabinet door  just moments before and I did not immediately forget that it was open. I do not keep going through the motions of removing all possible baby-reachable items from my bathroom in the morning, only to always forget about the toilet paper.  My baby is not fascinated by unraveling toilet paper! I, being most alert and awake at all times, did not actually keep falling asleep on my living room floor while playing with my kids one weekday afternoon.  I do not get tired in the middle of the day! I do not have a pen drawer full of pens that don’t work.  I do not keep going through the ...

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 is not doing this week. Another week follows another list of firm denials. Here is mine: I did not cheat on my head chef duties last week by serving meals that took a minimal amount and time and effort. Classics such as grilled cheese and soup, burritos, and one of my all-time favorite’s: “leftovers”. My son did not, finally, start sleeping through the entire night. I did not have at least 3 nights last week where I did not get out of bed once the entire night. I am not rejoicing over this milestone! I did not realize that my son and I are ready to stop nursing. This does not make me sad in the slightest. I did not eat any chocolate on Valentines Day. I did not eat any cheesecake either. We did not get any flowers, contrary to the evidence below. I also did not get a gift certificate for a massage that I plan to use a...

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 is not doing this week. I keep a running list of things I’m not doing during the week. It helps when I write this post. But sometimes I write stuff down really fast. It seems perfect at the time. By the time the weekend rolls around and I work on this post, a large portion of the items on my list no longer make sense. Why did I write that down again? Forgetful? Not Me. I did not watch an old (1983) episode of The Facts Of Life on On Demand when I could have been sleeping. You know the one where it’s Mrs. G’s birthday and Jo and Blair take her to a strip club and Blair’s boyfriend just happens to be working there? Well, I did not watch that one. I did not spend $10.99 on a bottle of wine just because I liked the label and I knew it would make for a good blog post . My son did not pick up a piece of carpet lint that was l...

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 is not doing this week. Is is Monday already? Time to fess up to all the things I DID NOT DO. I definitely have not been having an argument with my refrigerator over all the extra humming it seems to be doing lately. Everyone knows refrigerators can’t talk and certainly won’t listen to what I have to say. I also did not get one bit jealous over MckMama’s cruise post and pictures. Nope, not me. I’m perfectly happy sitting here enjoying the cold dreary pacific northwest winter. I am certain I DID NOT find the following in my kitchen drawer, left over from my Christmas stocking. And I am MOST certain I did not eat any of it! And since we are not talking about food, I did not eat any cookie dough either. It is also impossible that I sewed a black button back onto a black sweater using blue thread, simply because I didn’t have ...

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 is not doing this week. Well, let's see how this past week did not go for me. I definitely have not been reaching for my daughter's tube of Princess Bubble Gum mint toothpaste, just because it's easier to reach than my regular toothpaste. And tastier. I did not drop a can of pop on my foot, inciting such cries that my daughter came over and kissed my foot. Nope, not me. I did not forget what I did to my son so quickly that I decided that, sure, I could cut Hannah's bangs. And I did not chicken out as soon as I had her in a chair all ready to go. I certainly did not forget how messy biter biscuits can be! And I definitely did not include this next picture just because I think I have one of the cutest babies in all of babyland... Enough about me. I want to know what you did not do last week?

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 t...
