Not me Monday!!!

Our closet has not looked like this for the past two weeks because of broken closet rod sockets:

And the kids did not think it was fun to go "swimming" in mommy and daddy's clothes and play hide and go seek in the closet...

I did not just today hit my head two times, hard enough for me to feel like I was going to pass out, in the same spot on the same chandelier in our dining room...

When my husband and I were moving furniture around last week, we did not see the dead mouse that we were trying to trap for several months right under the computer desk where I always put my feet...

And we did not have a lot of garbage bags full of garbage in the garage, in the house, in the garbage can, laying around the garbage, for several smelly days because we forgot to pay the trash fee...and we did not have more stray animals roaming around our house looking for food...and tearing the garbage bags open, which made more smelly garbage come out of the bags, lying around waiting for me to clean up...

Not ME Monday!!!

I did not take a pregnancy test on Friday because I was not curious and it was not positive, unless the test which is not 99% accurate is not right in which I would still not be pregnant...and that would not make baby #4 due not in the summer of 2009...!!!

I did not work for hours on my daughter's oh-so-simple Martha Stewart butterfly wings, only to have them look like this...



And I did not try to convince Zaria to be a dragonfly instead of a butterfly because of how the wings turned out. (Somehow Martha's looked so much more like a butterfly than mine!!)

I did not just eat the rest of the bag of Ghirardelli dark chocolate carmel-filled squares as I was typing this because as you know, I do not like chocolate, especially when I am not pregnant!!

Not ME Monday!!!

I did not eat pumpkin seeds and mini oreo cookies for breakfast today and I did not finally get to eat breakfast at 11 o'clock am....

I did not hear our fire alarm upstairs beeping continually at 3 o'clock in the morning and I did not stay awake wondering how I was going to reach that high to turn it off...

I did not leave lots and lots of dirty dishes on my countertops and dirty clothes in the washer and clean clothes in the dryer all weekend long ...and I did not just type another not me about dirty dishes and laundry...

I did not eat chocolate chip cookies last night at 4 o'clock in the morning after being awake for an hour of hearing beeping loudly and constantly....and I did not think that cookies would in some way make my tired brain think of solving the noisy alarm issue...

I did not have to stop my whole morning and think of these not me's...and somehow the thought of spending my time more productively to get things done around here like laundry and dishes mentioned above never even crossed my mind...

Not ME Monday!!!

Today in Not Me Monday (and I so do Not want to write anything because I know I should not possibly have anything to contribute to Not Me Monday...) but anyway, here goes...


I did not just last night fold and put away the laundry that was mentioned last Monday in the Not Me Monday post...and I did not wait an extra couple of days after husband mentioned he was runnin low on under clothes to wash said laundry...you know I would never procrasinate on laundry because I am always so on top of that...


I did not gate my 19 month old daughter in her room for almost two hours today so that she would not have to cling on to me constantly while I tried to do something useful in the house like...laundry that is mentioned above, and...I would never use my daughter as an excuse as to why I can't get anything done around here....and of course I would never ignore her cries to get out of her room after being in there for a while because I was actually getting some things accomplished without the attached sidekick weighing me down...nope, not me!!

And, I did not have to give my perfect angel daughter two spankings today for biting both her sisters...after all, we have raised an obedient little darling who never does anything wrong.

And finally...I did not feel excited, even happy, that I was finally putting my kids to bed after a manic, um.. I mean, marvelous Monday...hearing complaining, whining arguing, and crying before it was even 9:00 in the morning makes for a not Me Monday to not ever be repeated again!!!

Have a blessed Not ME Monday day!!!

Not me Monday

Today is Not me Monday!!!! I am linking up with this blog:

http://mycharmingkids.net/2008/09/not-me-monday.html

Basically you just post things that you surely did "not" do and would never even consider doing....ha ha ha...very theraputic. Then I linked my post to this blog for others to post and view their Not Me Monday list...(yes, I know it sounds like I don't have anything to do with my life...but really, it's fun..)

Well here is my list of things that I did "not" do this past week:

I did not hurry out of the house on Sunday morning to church, wearing my gold house shoes...and wearing silver jewelry...and a purple shirt that did not match my olive green skirt...which did not make me look like had made a few fashion no no's...

I did not leave a garbage bag in front of our front door overnight knowing that the mice running rampant in our house would not ever want to go through a bag of dirty smelly garbage full of scraps of food...

I did not just leave a whole pile of laundry sitting in front of the laundry room for almost two weeks without being cleaned,folded and put away....and I did not run out of clean underwear and have to wear my maternity underwear even though I am not pregnant...

I did not put my car key in my console last Sunday and close and lock the door only to realize that I needed my car key on Tuesday and I couldn't get in....and this was not the second time in a month that it has happened...

And I did not have the kids set up a mouse contraption experiment for Science class on Friday involving a white bucket, peanut butter, and some "stairs"small enough for little rodents to climb...and I did not see a mouse just climb up the "stairs", take a lick of peanut butter and climb back down...

What did you "not" do this past week??
