Not Me! Monday




Well, since I haven't blogged in forever...I should probably have a ton to say. I am so excited that its Not Me! Monday! So here goes!

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to http://www.mycharmingkids.net/2009/02/not-me-monday.html to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week. She has started Not Me! Monday's as free therapy for people across the maps! You blog about your Not Me's and link back to her blog, where you can read everyone else's! Its great, check it out! You can read here in her original post about how it all got started...http://www.mycharmingkids.net/2008/09/not-me-mondaythe-complete-rules.html. You can go to that link or click on the box in my sidebar!


I most certainly have not had sick kids for like my entire mothering career! No really, in the last two weeks, my two oldest girls have not missed TONS of school, for fever and coughing so hard you puke!

Then, on Saturday, I WOULD NEVER have gotten a letter, from my just turned five year old, school telling me that my child has missed too many days this school year. It most certainly did not tell me that I had to have a doctors excuse for my child, should she miss any more days this year. I would never keep my preschooler out of school for an amount of time that would justify a letter from the school system.

Besides, I breastfed my kids for as long as my body allowed and my kids would never be sick. Because breastfed kids dont get illnesses like ear infections, RSV, ROTA virus, strep throat, and any other illness floating around on the walmart carts! My kids would never be the never gonna get well kindof kids.

Through this lovely cough till you throw up illness that my children never had, I would never have given my daughter a prescription cough medicine that wasn't prescribed to her. I would never do such a thing. I would never scale down the dose for her weight difference and think it was a good idea to allow her to have some of her sister's cough medicine in a night of desperate hacking from the depths of her soul!

Upon arriving at the new pediatricians office, I would never have admitted that I gave my child a dose of a prescription that he had indeed written for someone else. He never reprimanded me, telling me the infection in my daughter's lungs was making her breathing labor and in turn making this not prescribed medicine dangerous for my precious daughter. I would never do something like that and if I did, I definitely wouldn't admit it on the internet.

I did not spend my time this week in class, at school, working on my homework. I would never do that. I am the perfect student and I give my teacher's my undivided attention. During my math lab, I would never have been searching on youtube with a girl from my class. I would never have used school time to search for an endearing video on friendship. I would never be so careless. While I was not searching, i did not have a very inappropriate result show up in my searches, on a school computer, while logged into my own account. I would never. And besides...I have no idea how it could have come up, considering my search words. (I really dont)

I also did not freak out at school because when I walked into class my front row seat was gone. I would not be so OCD. I also would be able to pay perfect attention on any other row in our class, because I have four children and people twirling their hair, or rocking their seats, or tapping their feet on the floor, woul dnever be enough to distract me from listening. There's no way that could distract me. And there's no way that the next time I was scheduled to be in that class that I left home 15 minutes early just to get a front row seat. I would never care that much!!!!

I did not wake up at 11 am this morning and have a reese's cup and ice water for breakfast and lunch. I am very particular what I put in my body and I would never screw up trying to lose weight.

I love my children so much and did not begin to cry this morning when they came cheerfully busting into my room that it was church day and time to get up. I didn't do that because I was not up all night with a screaming baby and exhausted at 7:45 this morning. I wasn't up all night because my kids are PERFECT and if my kids are so perfect my 11 month old son would definitely not still be up all night making my nights and days really hard to cope through. I have perfect kids and I am supermom. So, even if I was up all night, I would never have allowed my husband to get up with my children this morning. I also would never have gone back to sleep and slept all the way through church! I would never do those things.

I did not cry this morning and sleep my morning away and then be up right now at 2 am writing my Not Me! Monday! I would never be so wasteful of my time. I also will not complain tomorrow that I am too tired!

And lastly, I am not sitting in my bed, on my new pink laptop. I would never be so excited about the fact I got a new computer, that I can be in my bed while I'm on it, and that its Flamingo Pink! No! Not Me!!!
