NOT ME!

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. It is a fun way to admit that we are all NOT perfect and therefore can relax and stop trying to cover it up. But if by chance you ARE perfect, well....to heck with it then. So am I.

NOT!



  • Last week I did not let Teagan run around in just her diaper all day long. What kind of mother does not insist her children be dressed and done up all the time? Sheesh! I would never do that!
  • Last week I did not get mixed up with the Activity Days schedule. One of the moms did not call me five minutes before the activity was supposed to start and I did not try and tell her she was confused and had the date wrong. I did not look at my calendar and realize I had actually goofed. I did not apologize profusely. I did not assure her that I was totally ready for her the activity to begin. And I surely did not hang up the phone and make a mad dash to clean up the dining room, kitchen and family room before said mother was going to drop her child off at my dirty not exactly company-worthy house. I did not proceed to stuff all my dirty dishes into the oven as my children looked at me in astonishment. I did not bark out orders to my three oldest children to sweep, clean off the table and spot mop the floors. That would be totally ridiculous. And we certainly were not all out of breath and sweaty by the time our activity began. Seriously, not!
  • Last week I did not make Father's Day plans with my sister-in-law that would include missing church the day Roman was scheduled to give a talk. I did not forget he was supposed to talk in Primary and I did not realize that this morning nor do I feel one bit bad about it.
  • Last week I did not hover nearby while my husband talked on the phone to his brother. I did not consistently correct his grammar when he repeatedly used the incorrect tense of "saw" ("I seen a good movie this week..." "Oh, yeah! I seen that one.") I do not get annoyed when he talks like that. I do not call him a backwoods hillbilly when he does it. And he does not NOT like it when I do so.
  • Last week I did not get irritated that my husband was playing playstation for an excessive period of time. I did not then take a permanent marker and draw angry faces all over his toes while he did that. And, sadly enough, he did not NOT seem to notice I was doing that. I am not having my regular fantasies of destroying his favorite game. I am a grown woman, for goodness sake!
  • Last week I did not, I repeat did not spend nearly an entire day blogging. That would not make me a hypocrite in getting annoyed with my dear husband about the time he plays His Game. I did not attempt to make up for my entire day on the internet by cramming seventeen fun things for my children to do with me the next day. I am not prone to feel guilty about wasting time.
So what about you? What did you not do last week? It can NOT be worse than mine, so get brave and leave a comment telling us about it.

I drew a snail on Ben's belly.

Too funny! I might have to do this next Monday. Last night I did NOT stay up until 1:30 in the morning watching dumb TV reruns. I did NOT drink an energy drink first thing this morning. And I most certainly did NOT eat chocolate all day in attempts to keep me awake!

Blonde Duck--It really wasn't 17 hours of blogging. I may enjoy it but not THAT much! :) I am not an exaggerator. I would never distort the truth! :)

I like your list....Unforntunetly I encourage my husband to play the playstation so I can watch...I know crazy...but then he gets stuck on a level and then I stop watching. I did not give summer ice cream three days (nights) in a row last week. (little bites)

Ha! I have NOT had (in the past, when I still had kids in diapers)days when the baby ran around in a dirty white onsie and droopy diaper. I would NEVER be that engrossed in my own projects....

amanda said...

all day diaper days are some of our favorite days :)

Pah...kids don't need clothes. My hubby loves writing slightly kooky things on my feet to embarrass me, haha! You're funny!
