"Not my Child" Monday!

This post is courtesy of MckMama's blog- usually she does a "Not Me Monday," but this, week, it's all about the children! I certainly don't have TONS of content for this post!

Wednesday, my son did not come in while I was praying for the women in our small group and throw a temper tantrum, swatting his hands in the air and saying, "I don't want to leave!" And I certainly did not become very... ahem... disappointed in him.

While taking my two little ones shopping on Saturday, I certainly did not turn around to find my 2 year old daughter eating candy straight off the candy rack in the check out line. (Which I certainly did not have to pay for, after I had just swiped my debit card!) I couldn't punish her, though, even if she did that, because that was honestly the first time she has ever been out of the buggy at check-out!

A few weeks ago, my son was not nursing a baby doll in front of about 15 people at one of our weekly ministries. Wow. Certainly he would not do something so embarassing!

Now it's your turn! Share your funniest stories about your child (or yourself if you do not have children) and feel a great deal of relief in the making! :)

NMM

It seems that all my blog entries lately are not me Mondays. Maybe that should tell me something about myself? Hm....
Check out MckMama's blog for the rules and regulations, and then have a blast making your own!

Anyway, I did not get on the computer after dinner tonight just to do my NMM post. (Well, MckMama is giving away a prize for this!) No, no, no.

My daughter is not running around here with no clothes on- it's not the best way to potty train! (at least it's worth a try, right?)

I did not go into Sam's today for a few things and spend $150. Man, I am glad I have more self control than that!

I did not fall asleep this afternoon reading the book I am supposed to be reading for church. I mean, come on, I am the pastor's wife after all!

I did not take to my son's head with #2 guard and go right down the middle. Seriously. I did NOT scalp him. Man, I'm glad I'm a better hair dresser than that!

Well people have a great week and I promise I'll post more pictures soon!

Another Manic 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.

I did not do many things this week!

I did not become awe-struck this week while meeting Miss Texas at the hospital where I volunteer. I mean, she is just a person, right? (Oh, and when my dad looked at the pic of us, he said, "I can't tell which one is Miss Texas. Wasn't that so sweet?)

I did not have to run to the grocery store last minute before my parents arrived this weekend, conveniently leaving most of the house cleaning to my hubby. And he is not a wonderful man and did not do it willingly!

My son, within five minutes of my parents' arriving, did NOT say to my mom, "Shut up! That's what mommy said to daddy!" Oh, my. Maybe once?!?! I would never be disrespectful to my husband. In all seriousness, gonna work on that one.

Well, it's midnight and can't think of much else, although I'm sure there are many more things that I am proud to say I DID NOT DO this week! Join the fun, you won't regret it!

Not Me Monday!

Check out MckMama's blog for some great free therapy every Monday! Okay, here is my list for this week!

I did not go to CVS 8 times this week trying to find a particular item that I could get for free. No, coupon shopping does not make me that crazy!

I did not stay up until 1:30 a.m. talking to my cousin on the phone Saturday night. And then, I certainly did not stay up until 3, just reading. Nope, that would not be good for getting up to go to church Sunday morning.

I did not eat six spring rolls when my father-in-law took us to eat Vietnamese food. Of course I have more will power than that!

I did not sign my children up for preschool one day a week. I never need a break. OH YES I DID and YES I DO! :)

I did not decide to give away FREE etsy stuff to people who comment on my blog. Read the post below if you decide not to believe me!

have a great week and see you next Monday!

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.

Wow, it's been a while since I have participated, so time for some confessions! :)
MckMama hosts a blog carnival each and every week for us imperfect moms to tell all! You really should head over and check it out... she is a true blessing!

I did not pop out of bed this morning and come straight to do "Not Me Monday." Nope, not that excited about it!

I have not let my children stay up until 11:00 or later some nights because of the holidays. Because the holidays are over, and we are back on a strict schedule. ;) And last night was not one of those nights, because they were in bed by 8:00. ha!

Last night, I did NOT feed my children (and my nieces!) chocolate for dinner- brownies and ice cream to be exact- at the Chocolate Bar. Nope, I am much more responsible parent than that. Hey, if I did do it, it's because it was my daughter's birthday.

We did not take our son out in public yesterday wearing a shirt he had "decorated" with a pen during church. And added more "decorations" during lunch. I always inspect my children before taking them out!

My house does not look like a tornado hit it because I don't get tired of picking the same toys up over and over and over and over and over again. Nope, I tirelessly pick them up 57 times a day so my house always looks like a model home!

Not Me Monday!

It's been a few weeks since I posted this, and believe me, I've been missing it!
Check out MckMama's blog for more info if you haven't already tried this free therapy!
I did not eat WAY too much at Thanksgiving, as I am sure none of you did, either! :)

I did NOT sleep in at my parent's house while visiting and let my mom take care of my kids until I woke up. Nope, never.

My husband did NOT take my daughter out in public wearing her Cinderella princess dress-up high heels. He knows better than that! And he surely did not take her out 4 days later wearing only a sweater and tights.

I did NOT keep the sheets on my son's bed after his diaper leaked because I was just too tired to change them. No, I washed them the minute he woke up!

And I certainly and most assuredly did NOT sleep on the balcony of my parent's house with my sister, cousin, my son and my cousin's 3 sons. No, that would be too dangerous and just plain weird. And we wouldn't have stayed out there if it perhaps started raining. But definitely it would have been fun had we done it! This picture proves NOTHING!

Etsy:
Have you seen this website? It is amazing! Tons of handmade items that are so CUTE!

And now... my stuff is on there, too! I have been in a crafting frenzy for a while now, and decided maybe I could make a little cash while having fun. It is stressful sometimes being a stay at home mom with a college degree- I know it is what I am supposed to be doing for this season, but I am excited about the potential of a little income.

Check it out! Buy something! lol

Not Me Monday

Once again, here is my list of things that I am much too good to do, in response to MckMama's Not Me Monday!

1) I did not realize that after skipping a week of Not Me Monday, that I need this therapy! A lot!

2) This one goes for me and hubby- we did NOT bring up an ice chest with milk and granola bars to our room one night so we could appease the kids the next morning without getting up. Even if it was our one day to sleep late together in like, 6 months, that would just be silly! (seems that creative ways for me to get to sleep late are becoming a theme here!)

3) My friend Yessica and I did not walk around the gala we volunteered at, looking to see if the guests had left any of the yummy chocolate bars that were served as favors on the tables. And even if we had, we wouldn't have walked out of there with around 6 bars each. And that VERY DARK chocolate does not taste really, really good!

4.) I did not give my children about 4 pkgs of fruit snacks, each, so they would be good while hubby and I were talking to the agent about building our house. Nope, my children just sat there extremely well behaved on their own, loving every minute of discussing mortgages and floor plans.

If you haven't tried making a list like this and reading others, it really isn't all that fun. So don't try it! ;)

Not Me Monday, take 2

Okay, time for another round of things I did NOT do this week! Isn't this therapeutic? You really should try it!

First of all, I did NOT stay up a little later than I planned, just to see if MckMama started her contest early (again!) so I could go ahead and post tonight. Nope, not me.

I truly did NOT put back a $1 Christmas ornament my son broke accidentally at Hobby Lobby because I was tired and perhaps a bit crabby. And because the cashiers seemed even more tired and definitely crabbier. Nope, that would be something an irresponsible parent would do.

I did not make homemade popcorn almost every night this week for hubby and me to eat (after the kids were in bed!), since I did not just discover a great new method thanks to my friend Fabia and Alton Brown! Nope, too much junk!

Something Landon did NOT do: Say, "you have to be careful, babe," when I slammed on my brakes in traffic today- (always fun driving through a Houston Texans game on your way to church!) Landon has NOT heard me say that to Ben when I think he gets too close to other drivers. Nope, that is so not kind of me!

Allie did NOT pick up dog poop out of the yard and throw it at me. Nope, she's a girly girl!

I did not bust my rear falling out of a lawn chair (possibly it broke?) last night. Don't ask my sister, I wasn't talking on the phone to her when it happened!

And lastly, last night I did NOT NOT NOT make brownies using black beans instead of oil and eggs. YUCK! And I certainly would not feed them, unwittingly, to my husband and his best friend. Nope, that's cruel. But just in case you want to know about these, ask, and I'll tell you about someone else that did do it!

One thing I did do, though, is have a great Sunday worshipping in our brand new church! And maybe have to ask forgiveness for the ornament I didn't put back.
Have a great Monday, y'all!
