NOT ME MONDAY

I don't often join in on Mckmama's blog Carnival NOT ME MONDAY... but the last couple of days I have found great humor in my kiddos and my life. NOT ME MONDAY was born out of Mckmama's desire to admit some of our imperfections and come clean as moms and women... we are only human right??:)

Here goes...

I most certainly did not almost wet my pants from laughing so hard when the kids and I were doing some schooling on the tramp today... the schooling didn't have me in stitches... but the fact that my husband snuck on and literally sent us all as well as our books and piles of blankets and pillows flying all around as he bounded all around us... don't worry sweet baby girl wasn't on there with us... she was down for a nap.

I would never have to stop mid prayer during our nightly family prayers from getting caught in giggles realizing that one of my children had randomly asked me to pray for him to not puke (mind you we have all been as healthy as horses) same said child also couldn't have requested prayer for him to be able to stop tootin... that could not be possible... my children have way more class than that. (What is it with boys and bodily functions?:)

I would never have to break into an anatomy lesson in the middle of our science lesson on primates today because the following completely off topic conversation didn't possibly take place...

Child: "Mom is there some other kind of Milk Dud besides the chocolate Mild Dud.?"
Me: "Nope honey, I believe that is the only kind of Milk Dud I can think of."
Child: "Are you sure mommy, I thought you have mentioned another kind of Milk Dud"
Me... thinking more deeply of course..."Hmmmm, I can't think of any other kind."
Child: "But mom you said that the milk in a mommies breast comes from the Milk Dud"

I of course can't recall the previous conversation where I mentioned this other kind of Milk Dud:)

I would never get a total kick out of wiping my little guys rear... when there are comments made like, "Look mom, sweet baby girl and I have twin turds... don't mine look just like hers?" I would never think of that as humorous, but would have rather did some talking about how we really don't need to comment on or compare the results of our bodily functions with the results of others.

It was certainly not me who when offered something to drink at our couples bible study the other night... asked for a little "something... something..." instead of my typical water... That couldn't have been me.

It definitely isn't me who is sooo sore from trying to keep up with Jillian Michaels and her 30 day Shred... UGH!

And it couldn't possibly be me who lacks such discipline that I am forcing myself to sit here so I don't get up and go grab that whole dark chocolate candy bar that is calling my name from the pantry...UGH!

There you have it... :)

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








I would never nick name my four year sir nakedness... just because he has to strip down EVERY time he has to use the toilet... that just couldn't be me..., nor would I ever post it publicly on my blog, he would be so embarrassed by that.

It could not be me who has a child that exclaimed isn't that a part of your rear end? When I told him he needed to put a colon after the Greeting in a business letter? No, not me, my kids would have far more class than that...

I would never broadcast on my blog that my son Caleb scored all 4 of his teams goals in yesterdays soccer game... that would rather boastful, don't you think?

I also would not still be so proud of him...even if they lost by 1 goal...:)

It couldn't be me who worked my in-laws like slaves on their vacation here this past weekend... I would never do that I would have everything neat and in order before their arrival.

I would never let my kids sleep in the same bed, like in above picture, where Anna is laughing because she is being smothered by her little brother who has been sound asleep for ahhh 30 minutes. I would never do that, just because it is so precious... I would rather have them all get optimum sleep every night.

It definitely wouldn't be me who made the kids all pool their Halloween treats from said grandparents above... just so I wouldn't find wrappers in their rooms or so I could have a piece myself when I want one.

I would never get a good hearty laugh when I stumbled upon my 4year old, who was supposed to be sleeping, sporting some of my "unmentionables" stuffed full with socks.



It has been kind of a busy week around here with lots of things we would never do:)

NOT ME MONDAY

This is my first go at Not Me Monday... where we all admit to some of those crazy thing that we do, that we wouldn't want most to know... being brutally honest and living to tell about it...like picking the mold off your bread and making sandwiches with the rest of the loaf... or wearing the same socks for a whole week... Now really, I didn't do those things... just giving some examples...So here goes with my real not me Monday...



I most certainly did not let my four year old sit on my lap and drive us all home from Soccer practice through the neighborhood when he couldn't even see over steering wheel... Nope not me.



When the Chex Mix crumbs on the kitchen floor were driving me nuts today, it couldn't have been me who used my foot just to brush them all up under the cabinets so I wouldn't keep stepping on them. I would never be too lazy to just sweet them up.



I would NEVER stay up consistently past 2:30 am... just to really tire myself out so I get a good nights sleep... no I would never do that, it doesn't even make sense does it?



It would be gross if I went for a run, sprayed myself with body spray and then headed straight to church for Wednesday night class with out a shower... I would never do such a thing.



I would never get addicted to couponing, never, that would be a little bizarre.



And I most certainly did not giggle like a school girl when my four year did his "jiggly" dance in the nude... that would be encouraging a "not so good thing" wouldn't it. I would never do that.



It was not me who went outside and surprised the "pumpkin fairies" who were trying to surprise us with a cute little fall display in our yard. I would never ruin the surprise like that just because my children continued to yell that there were a bunch of crazy old ladies in the front yard. Not me...



And it couldn't have been me who stayed in my jammies all day, just to change late this afternoon to go for a run... no I wouldn't do that, I would probably just run in my jammies. Hmmm, actually it couldn't have been me who just changed my top and went out in half of my jammies. I would never be that much of a slacker.

Hmmm, that felt kind of good:)



I am not nearly as good at this as Mckmama is, head over to her blog to check it all out at http://www.mycharmingkids.net/
