"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 so many others have not been doing this week!

Let's start by saying I don't like confrontation...at all...nothing confrontational with anyone! Therefore...I did not stand in the car pick-up line for Emily confronting a teacher on how to pick Emily up! Of course that wasn't me! I was not demanded by the teacher that I need to pull all the way up to the cones {a mere car length in front of me} before I could get Emily...who was already standing next to the passenger door ready to get in! I did not stand there and continue to confront her saying "I will next time...can I just go ahead and get her in the car?" She did not say "Get in the car and pull up now!" I was not a little scared like one of the kids...and do what I was told...continuing to be confrontational on my way around the car saying, "It's going to take me longer to get in and pull up than it will to just put her in the car!" {grrrr!} You can bet that it was not me who was first in line the very next day...pulled all the way up to the cones! Not me!

Emily will not be having another first day of school today. She will not be in a brand new class, with a brand new teacher that I've never met...starting from scratch! She will not be in a class with strictly all half-day kindergartners in order to make her class smaller and less confusing when realeasing the half-day kids from the full-day kids! She is not most upset about losing her locker than getting a new class!

I did not eat only cupcakes for breakfast and lunch and not realize it until we were trapped in the tiny allergy doctor office for Alex waiting...and waiting...waiting some more for the doctor...when I began getting very cranky and tired! We did not end that visit over an hour and half later with me repeatedly telling Alex "no!" and "stop!" and "finish your homework!" {sigh...} We did not deserve pizza for dinner and all feel better! {This was not on the same day as my teacher confrontation...nope!}

You would not have found us at the Cincinnati Reds vs LA Dodgers game this weekend enjoying popcorn and Cracker Jacks!


{Alex made this sign...Grandpa is a Dodgers fan! Emily was just ready to use her pom-poms and cheer for all the players!}



Emily did not finally get to be on the big screen shaking her pom-poms in the seventh inning! She was not so excited!



We did not have a great time and will not be going back! Alex did not say he wants the Reds to win next time because he did not love the big cannon booms when the Reds hit a home run! So not fun!

I did not spend my entire Sunday in pajamas, take a long nap with the kids and stay up late eating Chili Cheese Fritos. What? Not me! I always eat nutritious food! {really...I say this all the time! Cupcakes and chips are totally healthy!}

I will not be pulling out the long sleeves and pants this week because the temperatures will not be in the 40's in the morning! {Brr! Good-bye Summer!}

Happy Monday!
