Not Me! Monday!

So, its time for Not Me! Monday! This is where we can all be BRUTALLY honest and live to tell about it! Head over to MckMama's blog and see what all the lovely women have NOT been doing this week!!! http://www.mycharmingkids.net/2009/02/not-me-monday_23.html

So, this week I did not ignore my daughter's complaining about something being in her eye. She is NOT at all dramatic...so I would never assume she was complaining about something being in her eye because of the eyelash experience we had a few weeks ago.

So, on Thursday, she didn't wake up with a totally red eye and make me wonder if she had pink eye. On thursday, the same day I woke up to what I thought was pink eye, Bella did not clog up the toilet with too much toilet paper...sending water pouring all the way to the edge of the bathroom where the carpet begins in the hallway! I didn't spend an hour cleaning it up and make Emma late for school! When I went to leave for school, with all four kids in tow, I didn't realize that I had indeed locked my keys in my car the night before. I didn't head to our pediatricians office later that day, because I never take my kids to the doctor, because they are never sick! At the doctor's office, I didn't discover that what I thought was pink eye, just might be glaucoma! I didn't cry about this either, I would never be that emotional!

By Friday morning, we were not at a pediatric opthomologists office, because nothing was in my daughter's eye remember????
By 3:15 that afternoon she was not headed into surgery to remove a piece of metal from her eye that apparently wasn't visable to our eyes when we were looking!!!!
I did not send my daughter off with a bunch of doctor's so that they could put her to sleep and "dig" the rusted piece of metal out that had attatched to her eye ball!!!!!!!
This week I did not go to school without all of my homework not done!! I would never do that because I am a perfect student.
I did not spend a huge portion of last night, digging toilet paper out of a clogged toilet drain with a metal hanger! I would never do something so gross and my kid would never put to much toilet paper in to begin with! And I did not go three days sharing a toilet with my parents!
I did not go this past weekend and share my sin stained past with some lovely junior high ladies! I would never do that because my past is perfect...because I am perfect!
And I did not finish this blog when it was technically Tuesday...because I was sitting with sick babies today! I wouldn't have to be sitting with sick babies...because my kids are NEVER sick!!!! Whew...this week's was really therapuetic!!!

Not Me! Monday!

Its time for Not Me! Monday! Head over to MckMama's blog to find out what women all over the world were NOT doing this week! http://www.mycharmingkids.net/2009/02/not-me-mondayparticipate-and-win-prize.html

I would never in my life have ever agreed to have a sleep over for my daughter and her SEVEN closest first grade friends this weekend. I would never have agreed to that because who would invite that much madness into their lives.

I did not drive ten minutes longer to a different walmart on saturday just so I could get a coffee from starbucks. I would never waste twenty minutes of my life for a coffee and I would never pay that much for a coffee either.

I did not let my son stay in the bathtub saturday night for almost an hour, to help him avoid the SWEET girls that were wanting to love all over his head and carry him around the room!

I most certainly am not whining to God about my life in Tennessee this week, after I prayed, I mean begged, Him for years to move me home and close to my family!

I did not buy a camera for $300. I would never spend that much on an unnecessary expense.

This week I have not been planning my summer trying to figure out ways for me to stay in Illinois on my visits as long as possible. I also dont actually sit around and think of ways to try and persuade my friends to move here!

I absolutely did not cry my eyes out tonight when my best friend sent me a text message that her baby is now laughing out loud. I didn't cry because I AM not missing out on her life.

I am not worried about people in my lives and the choices that they are making.

I did not give my daughter a very small glass of moutain dew this morning to help relieve her tired meltdown. I didn't do that because I would never have bribed my kid in a desperate attempt for quiet!

Yesterday I did not put on the same shirt I was wearing the day before because it was the only thing I had CLEAN that fit my body in a way that I could cope with. And my FIVE year old did not call me on it.

I am so glad that my week was full of perfection and that I don't have lots of crazy life choices that are so embarrassing to say out loud that I have to blog about them on the internet.

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!

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!!!

Not Me! Monday!

So! If you haven't been over to check out Mckmama's blog...you NEED to. Her life is right in the middle of a miracle right now.

She also has three other children and is absolutely hilarious!

On to my Not Me's!
TODAY, I most certainly did not let my kids go into school late so that I could get thirty minutes of extra sleep and shower while my absolutely handsome, totally destructive man was still in his crib...no Not ME!
This week, I did not take my (dirty) kids to church, without baths, so that we wouldn't be anymore late than we already were...no I would never take dirty kids to church, not me.
I most certainly did not study more information than necessary, while studying for my finals, because of being careless and not looking at my notes correctly, I would never be careless, or waste time, not me.
I did not walk out of Big Lots with my girls, never realizing that Bella was taking a toy phone that we never payed for, because its hers, because everything's hers. I did not notice because my six year old started screaming at the top of her lungs...."Bella's STEALINGGGGGG"! I would never allow that to happen and I would notice of course, because I am completely attentive to my children in public and know at all times what they are doing!
My son did not have to go to bed last night in dirty pajamas, because all of his were dirty and he had nothing clean to put on. I would never let my laundry pile up that high! Not me, i'm a perfect housewife.
I did not miss my baby boy pulling up to stand on his own for the first time, because I was so busy and taking so much time in the bathroom. I am always with my children and never miss a second of their lives.

Wow! This is pretty therapeutic! We better be careful, MckMama might start charging! Tune back in next week to hear about all the awful things that I would NEVER do!!!=)
