Not Me Monday

Okay it is Not me Monday time again. Below is what I have totally not done this past week. Now, don't visit MckMama and she what she has not been up to either...

Last week I did not wear workout clothes 3 different days. Of those days I did not work out 2 of them. On the 3rd day that I did not wear the clothes, I surely did not put them on because I had errands to run and did not have time to really get ready so that was my excuse for looking the way I did. No, not me.

Last Wednesday I did not meet some of the girls from a moms group for the church we have been visiting as a park with our kids. I surely did not have pool stuff in the car. When we left, I did not notice my kids were totally disgusting and in need of a serious bath. I did not instead drive to my community pool, put swim clothes on in the car, and have pool time to clean off before nap. No, not me.

Trooper and I did not realize that our gym has childcare on Sundays so we did not bring a change of clothes in the car for after church. We then did not change and go to the gym (about 100 yards from where our church currently meets) before taking the kids home for lunch. No, not Trooper and I.

I then did not step on the scale while at the gym and see my HIGH weight!!! I did not totally wonder WHAT HAVE I BEEN PUTTING IN MY MOUTH and WHAT HAVE I NOT BEEN DOING AT THE GYM (well other than not putting on gym clothes so I can get ready and run errands). I then did not set a goal for myself to lose X pounds before my birthday in 7 weeks. I did not totally do that so you do not have to ask about it later (saying it out loud does not totally make you more accountable for it right...). No, not me.

Right now Paige (yes Paige), Parker, and Peyton are not all 3 asleep and so I am totally not about to get stuff done...Gotta not go...No, not the kids. No, not me!

Now it is your turn to let me know what you have not done this week

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.

Well this past week I did not just have tons of time on my hand to post every single day. No, not me.

Tuesday night Mom, Mark, and I did not go to Temple to see The Proposal. When we arrived we were not informed that the movie had been canceled so that they could show another theater for Transformers almost 3 hours later! No they didn't...well yes they did! Well we then did not go on Thursday onto the movie...this time is was not in Harker Heights...just to not make sure that we we were kicked out from seeing the movies again! No, not the Temple Theater. No, not Mark. No, not Mom. No, not me!

On Wednesday we were not getting ready to leave for VBS. My mom did not get Peyton out of his high chair. She did not ask me if he had had his morning dirty diaper. I did not say no. He had not eaten blueberries for breakfast so when mom mentioned that he did not have one fallen out of his pjs onto the floor, I did think hard about it. So of course more did not start to fall out seconds later when we did not realize that it was for sure blueberries...not some #2!!! Oops! No, not Peyton. No, not my mom. No, not me.

Last Thursday night, Peyton did not decide to take more than about 5 steps and is now walking at about 12 step segments consistently. No, not our 14 month old.

When the kids and I returned from our week long trip to my parent's house, we did not leave straight from our friend's house/pool. Mom and I did not put PJs on 3 kiddos with salt water dry skin. When I arrived home about an hour later I did not just put those salty PJed kids to bed. I then did not start a load of laundry that included the kids and my suits. I then did not retrieve the bags from the car, take out trash, and so forth in my cover up and flip flops...ahem. No, not me!

While swimming Saturday night, Paige did not finally realize (not like last summer) that she did not LOVE to jump off the side of the pool over and over and over again. No, not Paige.

Also, while swimming, Parker did not get the hang of swimming under the water again. He did not do a great job swimming back and forth between Trooper and I. No, not Parker.

Now it is not your turn to not let me know what you have been doing this week! Blog on!

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.

Last Thursday I did not take the kids to grab dinner at Sonic, get the mail, and then head back to the pool to eat and swim. No, not me.

While at the pool, we did not have a wonderful time together. I surely did not keep throwing Parker and Paige up/flipping them over just because Peyton was laughing at them so hard. No, not me.

It was surely not getting late and Peyton was not starting so yawn. I was not about to tell the kids 5 more minutes when a neighbor stepped out and told us there was a tornado and hail warning. I surely did not pack up the kiddos right away, head to the car to drop off the life jacket and pool toy on the way up our flights of stairs to the apartment. No, not me.

Once we arrived to the apartment, I did not change Peyton and put him down for bed. I then did not get the other kiddos out of their wet clothes. I then did not turn on the TV to check the weather. I then did not look and step outside to feel the first drops of rain and see the black/green sky. Going back inside I did not see the weather man say something about Cedar Park and Northwest Austin taking cover for the tornado/hail. No, not me.

At that time, I did not grab my cell phone, about 7 pillows, the lap top, and turn off Trooper's new TV before waking Peyton who was already asleep. We then did not stay in the bathroom, check email and send out a few twitters before the electricity flickered and I lost internet...until just a little while ago. There did not go my idea for the kids to watch something on the computer while in the bathroom...and pictures surly did hold their attention for the entire 15 minutes we were in there. No, not me.

At the end of it, I did not have to then turn the TV back on to see the we were now out of danger. I did not however have to pause the TV and study the map a little longer to be for sure since when the news was mentioning areas and intersections, I still did not know for sure where they were talking about. No, not me.

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.

Last Wednesday I did not take the kids to the pool in Austin. After I did not have the kids dressed, lotion on, and bags packed, I did not realize that Peyton was not without a swimmer. So, since he did not just have a #2, I surely did not put him in just his suit and let him swim. No, not me.

Last Thursday while in Belton, I did not get my hair cut. I then loved it so much that on Saturday night I did not take scissors to it to fix it over my bathroom sink. I now, do not love it! No, not me.

Also while in I did not pick up a $15 pool at Wal-mart for the kids at my parent's house. While playing in the pool, Parker did not have to go potty...he did not use the tree. Paige then did not try to copy him on the the sunflower in the backyard. No, not Parker. No, not Paige. No, not me.

While in the backyard playing in the pool, Paige did not say something about needing to go #2. I then did not walk over to her so we could go inside. She then did not direct me to the spot that she had already gone. The girl was sure not quick because mom and I were not both facing and watching the kids play. A little while later...Parker not being funny...did not do the same thing! No, not Paige. No, not Parker. No, not me.

Trooper and I did not have custard on the way home from Belton on Friday in Georgetown. Again on Saturday, after playing at the splash park in Austin, we did not have custard as well. We did not have it one more time for the weekend on Sunday in Cedar Park before leaving to come back to Belton. No, not the kids. No, not Trooper. No, not me.

Now it is your turn! What have you not done this week!

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.

This week while at the pool, I did not pull the lounge chair in the water so I could sit and read a magazine while P1 and P2 swam and P3 walked around the chair. No, not me.

When leaving the above pool trip, I did not watch my daughter throw a fit. She did not proceed to throw her towel into the water. I then did not tell her she needed to bring it to me. She then did not obey me. I surely did not congratulate her on making wise choices all the while not turning my head and laughing at the faces she was making while working so hard to pull the heavy towel. Not, not Paige. No, not me.

After retrieving the towel from Paige, wringing it out, and carrying it along with the 2 bags and the baby, I them did not give Paige a life jacket to carry. She did not then, about 15 feet later start to throw another fit about wanting to carry something different. She then did not proceed to pitch a fit about it for the next few minutes as I was able to get her across the street to our building, but still holding onto the life jacket I had her carry. No, not Paige. No, not me.

While at the park (the same day as above) for dinner, Paige did not decide it was the perfect time to have to go #2 in her Dora panties. Trooper and I had also not just used all the wipes up but 1. I then did not go to the car, find her panties, a sample package of 4 wipes that were stuck in Peyton's bag for over a year, and proceed to clean her put. She also did not get it on her skirt a little, so I totally did not just send her out to play for another 45 minutes in her shirt and clean Dora panties. I am also totally not thankful to MY Lord and Savior for the wipes and the fact that Paige had on a skirt instead of a dress like 95% of the time. No, not Paige. No, not me!

After putting the kids to bed (same night as above), I did not have a small glass of wine with our movie. I did not then forget to put the glass away. The following morning, Paige then did not find the glass. She then did not bite a chunk out of the glass and hand it to Trooper. No, not Paige. No, not me!
Oh the joys of children! You have to love them!

No, I did not let my 4 1/2 year old who usually only takes a 1 hour nap take a 2 to 2 1/2 hour nap 4 out of the 5 weekdays last week just so I could get things unpacked, hung on the wall, or put away. No, not me.

No, I did not live out of a suit case, Target ego bag, off my dresser, out of 3 different boxes, closet, and whatever happened to be clean in the laundry basket for 8 days until I had the time to unpack and put it all away. No, not me.

No, I did not in an effort to make the apartment feel more like home, take 3 kids to Hancock Fabrics and buy fabric for Parker and Paige's bed and curtains, the curtain to separate Peyton from Trooper and my room, and curtains for my room. I then did not proceed to then make curtains with said fabric before I had even unpacked my bags of clothes...see above not me... No, not me.

No, I did not take my kids to the pool 2 different times by myself. Upon finishing our pool time, I did not then put all 4 of us in the pool shower (off to the side to wash away pool water). While in the shower, I then did not pull out the shampoo, conditioner, and pre-soaped baby wash cloths (I have had those since Parker was born...finally found a great use for them!) to wash all 4 of us off. I then did not on the 2nd occasion also bring my intuition razor out and shave my legs. All of this was not done in an effort to save my time/sanity/clean(ish) apartment from having to drag 3 wet kids and myself in, bathe us off, and then try to get dinner. No, not me. ***fyi...we really did keep our suits on...we did not go that far***

No, I did not take my kiddos on a ride in the double jogging stroller (P2 and P3) and P1 on the big wheel to the club house for the sole purpose for P1 and P2 to play on http://www.starfall.com/, but the real reasons for going were not so that I could #1 get a little workout on the jog over and #2 so I could have a cup of coffee and sit and watch Peyton try to take a few steps without 3 kids messing up the living room/playroom/kitchen areas. No, not me.

Not Me Monday

Back at it with McMama's Not Me Monday's

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 did not take over 4 hours over 2 days just to get my kitchen under control after the unpack on Friday and Saturday. Not after Trooper had spent about 2 hour actually unpacking about 90% of the kitchen. No, not me.

I did not flip out when I arrived at my parent's house and they have a TV and Computer. In flipping out and finally feeling connected I then did not join facebook to feel even more connected. I also did not then wonder, "When am I going to have time for that...I already blog...and am behind in pictures for that as well." No, not me.

I did not do a little happy dance at my parent's house when Trooper called and said he already got the laptop and I was not going to have to wait until we got it at Memorial Day Weekend. No, not me.

I did not have Trooper plug in our old DVR from Rowlett to that we could catch up on Lost and Office that we did not have a chance to see before selling our old TV. No, not me.

On Wednesday, I did not forget to pull out Parker's T-ball stuff for his final game of the season. Then, I did not have to go through and open boxes that the movers had already packed that morning in order to find it. I did not, though, only have to cut into one box since the labeled well. No, not me.

I did not forget to tell Trooper that Peyton took his first step on Wednesday until Friday. No, not me.

I did not have a wonderful mother's day. Trooper did not make breakfast for me (whole wheat toast, my dad's fresh eggs cooked over medium...I think...yum-o), and take me out to lunch after church. When we got back home, he did not left me take a nap while he tried to get Parker and Paige to take one as well. While I was napping, he did not DO THE LAUNDRY!!! Then he did not let me get away and go to the gym for a little while. No, not me. No not Trooper. No, I do not love him and the kids who all helped me become a mother.

I am not sitting here after going to the gym and wal-mart and then stay up to write this post and instead of delaying that post for "Monday"...well for me it is not Monday. No, not me.

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 is my "Not Me Monday "

Well I did not find Paige in the bathroom one day last week during nap...diaper off and poop on the floor, her blanket, and toilet paper all over the bathroom (that she had wet in the toilet in efforts to clean herself). No, not me...

I did not find Paige this past weekend during nap in the bathroom with toilet paper in the potty to the point of overflowing from her flushing. The potty water then flowing over the potty onto the floor where it met the bath confetti (that is soap/bubble bath when you add water...oh and it is colored) ALL OVER THE BATHROOM! No, not me...

I did not, in an effort to keep stealth Paige in her room for nap time to actually take a nap sit outside her room and read a book in the playroom for nap time today. I did not then 2 hours later go the get Paige up from nap find her on the floor with her dress up clothes all out of her dresser, tutu on, diaper off, and poop EVERYWHERE!!!! No, not me...

Not Me Monday

Here is the new edition of Not Me Monday...

This week I did not realize when putting Peyton's onesie on that it was getting a little small. I then did not look at the size tag that my 9 month old was wearing and see that it was a 3 month onesie! 3 months! That means UP TO 3 months! No, he has not been wearing them since June when he got our of the newborn onesies. And, he will not also wear one of the onesies from that package again this week most likely. No, not at all! No, not me!

I did not forget/avoid shaving my legs the other day...or for a few days...and my 4 year old tell me they hurt him. No, not me!

I did not make 4 different kids of veggie baby foods last week. I will not have to turn around and make more green ones this week for a very hungry little one(ahh!)! No, no me!

I did not also take the sweet potatoes I made for baby food and put it in pancakes. All 3 kids do not love those. Parker also really did not think (when I ran out of sweet potato a few days ago for pancakes) the plain pancakes tasted good at all. He did not say the plain ones were too dry. No, not Parker! No, not me!

I also did not take the butternut squash for baby food and put it in mac-n-cheese. Parker did not have 2 servings. Paige did not eat all of her 1 serving. Peyton did not eat his fair share as well. Trooper did not finally accept that I make mac-n-cheese with squash EVERY time! No, not us! No, not me!

I did not hang out at the McDonald's playground an extra 30 minutes after my friends left so I could wait for the doctor's office to be open so I could hopefully get Peyton an appointment (for an ear infection that would not go away) right away so I did not have to load, go home, unload, load, go to the doctor, unload, load, go home, and finally unload all 3 kiddos. I did not want just one less. I did not do all that even though Peyton was crying and just about begging for a nap. No, not me.

I did not load up my car with my 3 kids, a friend's 18 month old, my friend (Emily) and myself to drive to go see our best friend's (Carissa) baby the day after he was born. While there, I did not have to put Parker in time out 2 times and have a talk with him in the hallway more then once. While holding little Cannon for the first time, he did not cry the entire time. And that did not break my heart just a little. Of course he just left Emily's arms...so she must have not given him a little pinch so he would cry for me. No, not me, Parker, Cannon, or Emily!

I did not have a glass of wine while Trooper was out of town in Maryland. I did not then drink that wine while I scarp booked Peyton's baby book. I did not scrapbook in my under the stairs scrapbook hole that I keep stuff in front of the door so my kids do not realize there is anything interesting in so they do not try to get in...I pray. No, not me!

Not too many this time around, but still fun!

Not Me Monday

Well this week I decided to participate in McMama's "Not Me!" Monday.

When Trooper arrived home from work early while Paige and Peyton were still sleeping, I did not bribe Parker with the remainder of his Sonic drink to go with Trooper to the gym so I could have more time to myself. No, not me!

Trooper and I did not agree when called about an hour before church on Saturday night to watch Paige's 2 year old class of 12 kids. Trooper did not while there ask me to do diaper duty with a smile on his face. I did not then in return smile to myself when he and another worker were left with the reminder the kids in the room while I did diapers one by one. I did not also smile to myself when the kid that would not stop crying/wanted his daddy was clinging to Trooper...oh the look on his face when I just called out another kid's name to change a diaper. No, not us...no, not me!

I did not just put on a video for the kids so I could take a shower and wash my hair. No, not me!

I did not bride my kids on 2 different evening with a chocolate covered strawberry in order for them to eat their veggies. No, not me!

..

.

I did not eat more than one snack per day (including making salsa this morning just for more snacking) and claim it all in the name of breastfeeding. No, not me!

Paige received her 1st hair cut on Saturday morning. I did not bribe her with ice cream if she did good. Even when they gave her a sucker when she left, I did not then take her over to McDonald's for a cone. When there, I did not then share some on my ice cream with 9 month old Peyton. No, not me!
