Not Me Monday

Well, it’s Monday once again!  Time for all of us who play Not Me Monday, to join together and  confess all the things that DIDN’T happen in our lives and families this past week… Who wants to do that??  NOT ME!  NOPE! 

I hope you all got to read some of MckMamma's story this past week.  Her baby was born perfectly healthy, and has went home from the hospital already!  Her baby that was not going to live 20 weeks ago!  PRAISING GOD with you MckMamma!! 

It was not me that placed an order online, for my sister’s shower gift, over a week ago.  It wasn’t me who finally, after the shower, realized that I never received a confirmation on the order, discovered that I never finished placing the order.  It was not me at my sister’s wedding shower, without a gift.  Nope, that wasn’t me.

My 10- year-old son did not read a sign that said “Please Pray for the Election” and ask my dad, “Why do you have a sign in your yard that says ‘Please pay the electrician’?”  It sure doesn’t still make me laugh every time I drive past one of these signs.

There is not glitter all over my basement.  Because no one got into it while I was gone the other night.  Nope, not here.  I love glitter, don’t you?

I most definitely didn’t send my son to preschool in a filthy dirty Buzz Light Year costume.  I didn’t tell him we needed to make sure that it didn’t need washed, and forget to check.  Nope, Not me!

No one in my house has ever flushed foreign objects down the toilet, like little toy piggies… nope.  And my dad has never had to come and disassemble our toilet, turn it upside down, and shake it to remove poor little piggies from the potty… Nope.  Didn’t happen.

Zach didn't bring a friend home on Friday, who declared he had never seen more leaves in a yard than ours.  And we didn't spend hours this weekend working on these leaves...and the boys had no fun at all playing with them.

After months of procrastination, I don't finally have some Items for sale on E-BAY!  And I sure hope that the auction's don't go really high!  Nope!  Don't hope that!!

I didn't wake up Sunday morning, wishing I could sleep a little longer, and I wasn't up for over an hour, before I noticed the time on my cell phone, and remembered that it was day-light-savings Sunday.  Nope.  I didn't forget.  And I didn't feel a little unsure about it and make any phone calls just to make sure I had the right time.  No.  I'm a confident mother of 6.  I'd never drop a ball.

I am still not hoping that more people will decide to play along with the blog carnival that I host, YOUR gonna miss this...moment.  No, I hope you don’t check that out and decide to join us in treasuring these fleeting moments in our lives… that would just be awful if you decided to do that!

In the football game on Friday Night, with 2 minutes left in the game, James did not get hit in the calf with a helmet, hard enough to break his small bone in his lower left leg.  Nope.  We didn't go to the ER again.  He isn't hobbling around on crutches.  And we aren't going to the orthopedic doctor today to find out what has to be done with his leg.  Nope.  Didn't happen. 

James didn't go ahead and go to the Purdue/Michigan game, and hobble around West Layfette, on Saturday with a broken leg. 

Zach didn't wear his Michigan shirt and hat and sit in the Purdue section.  He didn't cheer for Michigan from the Purdue section.  I didn't advise James to protect his brother, and to use his crutches if he had to... and Purdue sure didn't beat Michigan!  Nope, didn't happen!

And I sure don't wish that my life was dull... and that I could spent time trying to make up these events, instead of living them all out on the pavement of life!  That would just be silly. 

NOPE, NOT ME!
