"Not Me!" Monday



Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama.
{You can head over to her blog to read updates on her precious Stellan's heart! We are not still praying for him!}

Let's see, I most certainly did not stop off at the snow cone stand after Emily's ice-skating lesson on Tuesday on a cold, rainy day and order a large vanilla soft-serve with lots of sprinkles! We did not follow up that visit with a trip to the McDonald's drive-thru for the kids' dinner, because that would be wrong to eat our dessert before dinner and then follow that up with an even unhealthier dinner choice! I honestly did not order anything for myself {except a large Diet Coke, of course} but realized after we were almost home they had given me someone else's Big & Tasty meal by accident...I did not accidentally eat it! {oops!}
I did not stay up late one night to color a picture out of Emily's Princess coloring book! {I still love to color once in awhile!} She did not see it the next morning, and tell me in all her sassiness, "I was going to color that one!"
I did not walk around Emily's Barbies lying right in the middle of the entryway all week because nobody would move them! {I even knew to step around them in the dark} I mean, seriously, she always puts her toys away when she's done playing with them!
I did not turn into a Drill Sargent this weekend and start ordering the kids around to clean up their toys because I was tired of stepping around them! Dan was not even a little scared! {But love them for helping me get the job done!}
We did not solve the mystery of our lost 'shark' fish from the fish tank...it did not jump to its demise and land under the cabinet...may he rest in peace! {how did he do that?!}
We did not have the kids in bed by 7pm last night {woohoo!} only to have them up more than once {it was worth a try} because it was too light outside...they were bored...they needed a drink of water... They did not finally get to bed by 8:30, as usual.
I am not so ready for the summer! And this...


And a little bit of this...


Happy Monday!

  4. Summer , where are you???? ;)
    I am so ready for it to come also. So tired of long sleeves and having to stay at home instead of going to the park.
    The weather here in Spain is teasing us a lot.We had a nice summery march, that took us to a cold rainy april. Now, it seems it is nice again... would it last? or would it tease us one more time... we'll see.
    Nice finding your blog :) I enjoyed it! Will be back :)

  6. Great list! I could have almost written this one. Isn't there something kind of therapeutic about coloring, especially coloring within the lines?
    Love the pics too! It's over 85 degrees today...we sure could use a pool!
