Not Me Monday

December 8, 2008 in Not Me Monday,Uncategorized


I've read this over at Be Serious several weeks in a row and kept saying I was going to do it. Well, now I am.

Not Me Monday time.

The brain child of MckMama. I love it...and I'm not admitting to anything.

I did not wrap Christmas presents this weekend.

I did not spend a small fortune at a big chain store on those Christmas presents.

I did not run to a neighbors house to borrow different bottles because my 8 week old daughter refuses to take one.

I did not go to the store without kids and take my time. Nope, not me. And, hubby did not get a little overwhelmed.

I did not finally put my nativity scene up on the mantle.

I did not take a wonderful, much needed nap Sunday.

I did not let Izzy stay up late so we could go look at Christmas lights.

I did not tell Izzy that Santa was watching when she threw a fit that we left the lights.

I did not kick myself for pointing out that Santa was in the window, and waving at her.

I did not do a million loads of laundry, and I'm still not caught up!

I did not NOT vacuum my floor.

I did not cook dinner (and not go out to eat) every day last week.

I did not put Izzy in diapers this weekend because she didn't feel like potty training.

I did not tell her she had to wait for me to change it after she pooped in her diaper. Nope, definitely not me!

I did not sit outside with hubby while he put up the lights. And, I did not sit on my butt while he did it.

I hope I didn't suck at this. I need to try to remember more embarrassing things for next week!

Thank goodness Caroline was potty trained before Emma came along. Buying diapers for two must suck a big fat one. :-)
I caught myself before telling Caroline that Santa was looking at her through the window. I figured it would cause more drama than help. She would have ripped the blinds even more than they already are looking for him.
You did good.
It’s fun isn’t it?

Great Not Me’s. I must be way behind the times…I have barely bought any gifts for Christmas let alone wrapped them. Good job!
I have definitely had the laundry experience with 4 kids!

LOL, I went to the store yesterday and did the same thing, only to come home to a bloody cut on my daughters eye from her brother hitting her with a toy :(

I think you did great for your first time out on this one. I’ve thought about doing to. Maybe I’ll remember next week.

P.S. So glad you got a needed nap. Naps are THE. BEST! ; )

I’ve been pulling out the Santa card a lot lately myself.

BTW, I just read a comment you left on OHMommy’s blog about a typo and just had to come tell you how funny I thought it was! :)
