another 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 have not sat at work and procrastinated all day long just because it is monday. that is never my attitude on monday. i always get my work done promply as it comes it. there are never stacks and stacks and more stacks of stuff for me to do on my desk.
*******************





ooohh, this next one has a picture. fun! i did not wake up to trace crying at 3:45 AM one day last week... and walk in his room to see THIS.


he did not somehow manage to tump over his toy shelf and make a HUGE mess. i seriously don't have a clue how it happened. after the incident, he was not screaming for mama and nate did not throw him in bed with me. he did not stare at me for the next hour and a half, then cry when the alarm went off and again scream for mama when i had to get in the shower. no, we never have "those kinds" of mornings at our house!

i did not again proceed to buy and use tons more paper products to keep from doing the dishes so often last week. i mean, i LOVE doing dishes by hand since we don't have a dishwasher (seriously, we don't have one!) so i never wait til there are no clean spoons or bottles to wash the ones in the sink.

**************************


we did not have our church's fall festival at church on sunday, when it was 45 degrees outside. i did not wake both boys up from their much needed naps to dress them in their matching little monsters outfit. and trace did not yell and scream and cry that he didn't want to wear his "monster toes" and i would have never let my stubborn 2 yr old wear his coyboy boots with his monster costume. and i did not argue with him for 10 minutes before giving in, b/c i would never want things to be perfect after spending so much on the costumes. i am not obsessive like that :)

*********************
last, but not least... i did not have to convince trace to go to the dr after the fall festival. he had not been running a fever all weekend. and meme most certainly did not go with us, just b/c trace said he wanted to ride in her van! and of course, since we went strait from the said fall festival, i did not let trace wear his costume, complete with cowboy boots into the dr. nope, not this mama that has it all together :) and we did not leave the dr having paid our $35 co-pay just to hear those dreaded words: flu-like symptoms but flu test was negative. must be a highly contagious cold that will last 5-7 days. really, i was not like ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW? hey, don't get me wrong. i wasn't relieved to hear my kid was fine. and i also wasn't frustrated at hearing what we always hear "let it run it's course." GRRR and ARGHHH

oh, and what's up with these spacing issues. it's not getting on my nerves AT ALL that my blog will not do what i tell it to or space how i want it to. that's not why i have these **** things everywhere to separate my not-me's.
