Not Me Monday!

Well, its that time again...
Its been a while since I’ve actually participated in MckMama’s fun little blog carnival...
But I’m sure you remember it...

You know... it’s the one chance we get to tell all about those things that we certainly would never ever in our wildest dreams do... especially not to then publicly blog about it... where anyone could read it...

I thought you might remember it...

So lets see ....

Last week, I most certainly did not ask my grandma to start watching my son for me... (Which she volunteered for... by the way) and then wonder to myself if I was making a big mistake...

I was not surprised at all to come home Tuesday afternoon to a perfectly clean house... and to find many of my things rearranged.... I was not slightly irritated going through re-rearranging the things how I wanted them... (which might have been the reason they were that way) and explaining to my husband that it was ok if he put the things on his dresser back where he wanted them... that he didn’t have to leave it where she put them...

I did not spend the rest of the evening Tuesday sitting on the couch wondering what I should do, since all of my normal duties had been taken care of during the day...

I did not come home Wednesday to basically the same thing that I came home to Tuesday (including the re-arranging...)
We did not enjoy possibly the best Crock-Pot Chicken I’ve ever made...

I did not spend the rest of the evening Wednesday thinking that maybe my grandma watching Austin was the BEST decision I had ever made in my life...

Thursday was Austin’s IEP at school...
I did not cringe when my grandma said she wanted to go along (she needed to know where Austin’s new school would be)...
I did not spend the morning trying to come up with reasons why she could ride to the school, but not come in the meeting...
I was not terrified of what her input would be...
(We all know that as far as what’s best for Austin... she and I don’t see eye to eye... she’s the type that thinks do it for him... its too hard for him to do...)
At the end of the meeting I was not pleasantly surprised that she kept her mouth closed when it came to her views on things... and actually didn't have anything negative to say about the whole visit...


This weekend I did not have to re-arrange Austin’s bedroom.... My grandma did not take it upon herself to move his furniture around ... which of course did not leave Austin to have a breakdown after she left about where things had been moved to...

Hmmm... I guess that’s about all of my Not Me’s from last week...
Be sure to check out MckMama’s page for her Not Me’s as well as everyone else!
And add your own! It really is great therapy!!!

Not Me Monday!

Its time for another not me monday... can you believe how fast these weeks are going by??? Niether can i!!

Just in case you are wondering what all the fuss is about with the whole Not Me Monday thing, head on over to MckMama's blog for all the details... Basically its an opportunity to help keep you sane... to give you a guilt free way to fess up to all of those things that may have happened to you last week... of course its not like you really did any of them ;)....


So the week started off, well like any other week...
I did not call into work last monday because Austin had a doctor's appointment that I totally forgot about... I also didn't decide to take the whole day off... and then proceeded to send Austin to preschool anyway and just enjoy the day with my husband... I'd never do a thing like that...
First off, i'm very organized and always remember to ask off for doctor visits... and I'd never send my child to preschool if I could spend time at home with him...

I did not some how manage to set my husbands car alarm off... i didn't know the car had an alarm... and since it didn't happen, the cause surely wasn't me sticking my hand in the rolled down window to unlock the door and then proceeding to open it... because like i said I did not set off the alarm...

This weekend I did not spend most of my time doing not cleaning... i always use my time wisely, and I'd never say play online while watching the dishes pile up... nope, not me...

While I wasn't playing online, because you know I was cleaning and such... I did not spend at least an hour on MckMama's page just so that I could see each one of the kid's headers... BTW they turned out awesome!!!


There, I did it... Can you? Check out what MckMama and everyone else didn't do this week...

Not Me Monday

Its time for another round of the not me's...

You know my favorite blog carnival hosted by MckMama Every Monday...



This weekend I did not thank God that I had to work so that I didn't have to help my wonderful loving husband sod the back yard...


I did not decide that I wanted Bar-B-Que Chicken and seriously contemplate asking my hardworking husband to stop putting the sod down so he could cook for me...
I had been home at least half of the day... I should have been cooking for him...
Instead I proceeded to cook the chicken on the Goerge Foreman Grill... and coated it in BBQ sauce... yummy

I didn't really really want to leave the mess for someone else to clean up b/c I was so exhausted... but then change my mind when I realzied I was the someone else who would end up cleaning it up... nope not me... I'm alway eager to clean up after dinner...


I did not watch Made of Honor and love every second of it, even though it was such a predictable story...



It wasn't me who SCREAMED Sunday morning when my precious little boy came in to wake me up... nope... not me... I also didn't laugh about it with him b/c I scared him....



It wasn't me who worked so hard to clean off the kitchen cabinets and finally found a home for most of what was up there... ok really I want credit for that one... so yes it was me! ;)



It wasn't me who went shopping today and bought a CHOCOLATE King Cake... nope not me... I also didn't eat two pieces of it in about an hour....

I also didn't type this up sunday night, so that I could have it posted monday morning... Nope Not Me...



Head on over to MckMama's blog to see what everyone else is Not up to...

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.

This week has been crazy... As you know we are right in the middle of moving...
That being said, of course I was well prepared and had everything packed...
When my inlaws arrived to help us move, of they absolutely did not have to help us pack at all... Everything was clearly labeled and I had a system to make sure that the most important things got to the house... and I did not have to wonder where I was going to put anything... I already had a plan...

On the subject of moving... I absolutely didn’t have to wear the same pair of pants EVERYday this weekend because it was the only pair I grabbed... and when I went back to pack up more clothes, I absolutely did not forget to load them in the car and only realize it once I was getting out of the shower.... nope, not me...

I also did not give in and let Austin stay in a pull up all day Sunday... I’ve worked way too hard to potty train him to just give in on something like that just because it would be easier to not have to worry about accidents while we were out shopping.. nope not me... I’d never do that....

I did not start to unpack the same box about 4 times, and all 4 times decide that I would wait until later... I mean, I know that it has to get unpacked...

Mike and I did not go shopping this weekend and spend $200 on dog houses, and then proceed to let the dogs sleep inside... nope... there is no dog hair in my new laundry room...

I did not buy a new toaster, and a $50 garbage can because “I liked them”... I just bought a new house... I have more important things to worry about then spending $80 on two items.... (good news... my new toaster matches my new applicances... well I mean, it would if I would have bought a new toaster... which I didn’t...)

We absolutely did not buy a new tv... nope... not us... I mean, there was nothing wrong with our other tv... and since we are really not the kind to just spend money on things we don’t need, there is no way that you would walk into my front door to see a brand new Sharp 42 “ LCD tv on our TV stand...

I did not silently shed a few tears when I went to bed Sunday night and think to my self “I want to go home”... I was home... It just seems so big and empty right now...

Most importantly I did not just waste half of my lunch break typing this up... nope not me...

What about you??

not me monday

So, I ran across this awesome blog by MckMama...
and she host this fantastic thing every Monday... called "Not Me" Monday...

You know where you get to admit to all those things that you would never do...

So I figured I might as well give it a shot...

I did not let my (almost) 3 yr old son eat three scoops of ice cream after he didn't eat supper tonight... I mean, what kind of mom would do that?

I most certainly did not come home and not pack a thing... I mean, we are closing in two days, and I still have half a house worth of stuff to pack.. of course I didn't come home and just play on facebook and check all my blogs.... that would be a little irresponbile, don't you think?

I did not purposely not tell one of my co-workers that we are closing Wednesday just becaue I knew he had over heard me telling someone else about it... I mean, that would just be plain ole mean!

and while we are on the subject of work, it was not me who spent most of the surfing the web... wondering if the day would ever end... I mean, I had a lot of letters to get out... why one earth would I just spend the day online not working??

What have you not done today? or this week??
Come on... Confess... you'll feel better...
