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.




Here are a few of the things we have NOT done this week!


Macie did NOT come home with a flower from a (gasp) b-o-y, because she knows that if she did it would send her mom over the edge. Nope Macie has already declared that she will not start dating b-o-y-s until she is 30 at the very earliest.


Holley did NOT tell me that she had no idea where her very expensive green leotard was. She did not suggest that she had taken it to her Dad's where THEY must have lost it, prompting me to call them and inquire as to the whereabouts of said leotard, only to find it stuffed down behind her night stand, wadded up in a ball. No, she never would treat her leotard like that.


Scott most certainly did NOT eat the entire box of valentine candy that I gave him (Sat) night at dinner by lunch time on Sunday. That would be totally gross....and way too fattening for my fitness conscious little guy.


It is totally NOT true that I have started keeping a spiral next to my bed so that I can jot down fun, interesting, or embarrassing things that happen during the week so that I can remember them to post each Monday. Because if that were true...that would mean I'm a total blog nerd and I'm way too busy keeping up with the fab four to obsess over this "blog stuff ", not to mention that would also mean that my memory is less than stellar!

It is most definitely NOT true that I took a week off from blogging because I was throwing a "virtual" temper tantrum. No way! Not me! Never happened!

I certainly did NOT dye my hair darker this week because I'm too cheap to spend the money to keep up with the highlights that were starting to look very "interesting" on my head.

I did NOT tell my youngest "No more candy! We don't eat candy at bedtime." Only to be caught 20 minutes later eating a piece of candy myself. No way would I ever set a double standard like that!

I have so Not gotten the cold that the fab four have passed around this week. I mean come on...I'm a nurse and way too focused on proper hand hygiene to allow myself to touch something and then infect myself with their cold!! What kind of nurse would I be to allow that to happen? Oh, and our Meme most certainly has not gotten it too.


And no matter what you've heard or who might tell you otherwise, I did NOT laugh out loud when my little girl slid down a 20 ft. inflatable slide at a birthday party, stood up, and was then "taken out" (laid flat, knocked down) by another kid sliding down after her. No way would I laugh 'cause that would mean I am not a sweet mommy who runs over and scoops up her injured child, wipes the tears and kisses the ouchies away! Actually, this mommy DID run over, scoop her up, wipe away tears, laughing the WHOLE time!!


What have you NOT been up to this week???

Great Not Me's! I have also been caught "with my hand in the cookie jar" after telling the kids they couldn't have a snack so close to dinner. Just my luck they are old enough to call me on it :)

Ohh, I am the type to get caught with candies too! What do we do?!? (Actually, I tell my 2 year old it is medicine. I think he's onto me.)
I probably would've laughed at the slide thing too!
