Not ME, Monday

Do you enjoy reading “Not me, Monday” posts?  If you do, you can read more by clicking this link to MckMamma's Blog.  MckMamma, by the way will be delivering her 4th child, Stellan, this week.  His health concerns have been cause for much prayer around the world… stay tuned for that one.

Well, since I didn’t play “Not me! Monday” last week, I suppose I won’t start this week either…  I mean really, with all the things there are to do these days, who has time to blog, NOT ME!!  (okay, perhaps that statement is a tad too true!)  LOL!!

I have never paid $16.50 to the public library for a book that my child has ripped because she loved it so much.  I do not now own a pig book about the short vowel “i”.

My child is not completely obsessed with PIGS, Nope, not mine…  And this same child does not now own 3 piggy books… included the one I DIDN’T buy from the library, and I didn’t buy her another one last night for Christmas.

I have never run out of steam by the end of the day and not brushed my children’s teeth.  And I have never went to the dentist with my kids and found that they have seven cavities.  My mom always taught me the importance of brushing and flossing my teeth, so not a night goes by without that getting done!  Nope, NOT ME!

I’ve never made a list on the back of one of my kids school papers and then throw it away later in the day, you know because I have this wonderful planner for my lists, so why would I ever write a list somewhere like that.

I didn’t leave my planner (AKA: brain) in my van all day while my van was being serviced and then have no idea what to make for dinner… I didn’t hope I wasn’t missing out on picking up one of my children, or some unknown appointments… Nope, not me.  I am way more with it than that.

My children would never sneak candy in the back seat of the van while I am driving.  I put all candy away as soon as it is received, because I am trying to monitor their sugar and food coloring intake, not to mention those cavities that they DON’T have.  So of course there is no way they would splurge on candy all the way to preschool while I was oblivious… Nope NOT ME!

I have never called my child’s bluff on the bathroom thing and told them that they would just have to pee in their car seat… and had them do it.  Nope Not me!  Not my kid!   Oh, and that didn’t happen in Grandpa and Grandma’s van.  Absolutely not!

Yesterday at breakfast, when I told Jadon that it was Benjamin and Grandma’s birthdays, and I told him that now Benjamin was 5 like him, he DIDN’T ask me how old Grandma was, and then after I told him he didn’t add… “Just like you?” 

I’m still not hoping that someone new will be visiting my blog today from MckMamma's Blog, and I really hope that they don’t decide to check out my blog carnival, called YOUR gonna miss this...moment and decide to play along with us.  No, I don’t want you to do that!

I surely do not have the best Muffin Recipe, called Pumpkin and Spice and Everything Nice Muffins posted on my menu this week.

I absolutely don’t have the slowest computer ever, and it didn’t take me all week to edit 40 pictures on my computer.

I didn’t work on laundry all day Saturday, only to have it not even look like I did.  It certainly doesn't look overwhelming to me, ever.  Nope, Not me.

I definitely didn’t go over to help my sister with her house, and realize that even though she is planning her wedding, working full time, parenting 4 kids, and remodeling a house… her house was not more under control then mine.  Nope, NOT ME!

And finally, I definitely never feel out of control with my children.  I never feel like they don’t listen to a thing I say, and I most certainly never wonder if any of this is worth it, or if I will even survive!

NOPE!!  NOT ME!!!
