Not Me! Monday!

Nothing makes Monday’s better than joining MckMama and friends with “Not me! Monday!”

It was Not Me, that won $100 on The Riggs Family Blog this weekend! 

It wasn’t Me that was blessed to have that prize doubled by them after they heard part of my story!  Nope.

My basement window well did not flood last week, sending a water fall of muddy water into my basement.  Not Me.

   

We did not receive 4 inches of rain that day.  Leaving large crevices in many roads… including ours.

Jadon does not deal with hyperactivity that becomes worse with sugar intake and red dye… Valentine’s Day is not a nightmare for children like that.

We were not blessed with a sunny, calm 45 degree day that felt like spring had arrived on Friday.

None of my kids wanted to get out the garden hose or have a bon-fire, because they were sure that winter had ended.  Nope.

Jadon and Kiahna did not take off through the muddy field to the neighbor’s house on Friday when the weather was so nice… (see those small dark dots just to the right of the middle tree?  That’s not them.)

I didn’t have to drive over there to pick them up.  Kiahna did not have on her best dress shoes when she left on this excursion… and her brown shoes were not gone when I got to them.  Nope, They weren’t in that muddy field.

My children didn’t play outside with bare feet in February.  It had nothing to do with all of their shoes being muddy, and me not having the common sense to dig out boots.  Nope.

… Cause I was not having a melt down over the mud…

…there was no mud in my van…

For the safety of all children in sight, I did not give myself a 2 mile walk/run time out… AND call a friend to escape go out to dinner with that night.  Nope.  Not me. 

Lucas, fearing his mother had finally went off the deep end, is not the sweetest child ever.  He did not search that field and find Kiahna’s shoes…  Nope.  Not Lucas…

I didn’t make a full mental recovery by Saturday, and have the sense, and grace to enjoy my 6 Valentine’s!  Nope.

We didn’t have heart shaped pancakes for breakfast…

Zach didn’t think my heart pancakes were silly… and I didn’t catch him texting his friends to tell them about them later… Nope.

Lucas didn’t say that he had a broken heart!

We didn’t end the day with a great steak dinner at home all together….

I didn’t cry at dinner when I read them my friend’s email she sent this week. 

We are not starting our own prayer bowl at our table.  Nope.  Not us.
