Not Me! Monday



Time for another addition of Not Me! Monday. Is everyone ready to hear all of the exciting things I did not do this week? Well the truth of it is I actually did not do much other than clean up puke and take care of sick kids. Yes, we are still sick. Jack threw up in bed again this morning and I am keeping Reagan home from school today just to be on the safe side. However I am sure I can still come up with a few things I need to get of my chest... let's see where to start?


1. I did not have to refrain from taking too many pictures of my sick children this week. Being sick is not fun, and surely the last thing they wanted to do was have their picture taken. I did not have to keep reminding myself that it is not necessary that I document everything!



2. I did not secretly wish that on the day my husband stayed home to "help" me, that he had just gone ahead and gone to work. I did not think my day would have gone smoother if I could have just done it all my way instead of listening to what he thought I should do.


3. I did not then sneak away to Wal-Mart for an hour and a half just to get away from the sick kids and nagging husband, leaving him to clean up 2 puke messes by himself!


4. I did not thank God for Nelson's Golden Glow Chicken. I was not rejoicing in the fact that because my younger brother is on the swim team and we bought chicken tickets from him, I did not have to cook on Saturday. I love cooking for my family, and I would never be happy when I didn't have to do it.


5. I did not let Jack take a bath with me last night. He is much to old for this. I did not tell him no three times and then proceed to go ahead and let him in the tub once he had taken his clothes off all by himself. I would certainly never allow his cute little naked butt to keep me from following through. When I say no, it means no.


6. I am not totally pschyed that thanks to my new little gadget from the blog frog on my sidebar, I can see that MckMama has been visiting me! I am not a crazy stalker person. I do not LOVE her blog, and I certainly do not think I am special just because she came to read mine!

  2. You are too funny. Sorry the kiddos are still sick. I am hoping we can get at least part way through winter with no puking!

  3. Okay, ditto on numbers 1 & 2! My mom gets on me about being too busy taking pics & not enjoying the actual moment. And I love having my hubby home, but the kids' routine always gets messed up & drives me nuts!

    I've never heard of blog frog, but you can bet I'm gonna check it out! :)

  8. MckMama visited you??? No way!!! She's like a celebrity. :)

    I want that blog frog thing!!!! That is way cooler than the live traffic feed, which I ditched months ago. :)

    Love your NMM's! You're such a faithful NMM-er!

  9. Oh I am laughing at everyone's list today. I hate puke and I agree about the hubby sometimes. Oh and I am in the same boat about the picture taking. Did I miss some sick pictures? I posted one a few weeks ago...

    Have a great day... I will check out the frog.

  10. It's like a never ending circle - I log on, it takes me straigt to find "someone" or something like that- I try to log in and it tells me no such e-mail???? I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
