Not Me! Monday

Need Therapy? Go to MckMama’s Blog to read more Not Me! Monday Posts of other honest, yet endering people like me! Curious? Keep reading…

i did not fore go the burp rag several times this week, and just wipe baby spit, slobber, snot, and whateverelse off of A1’s face with my hand. No, because that would a) be unsanitary, and b) totally gross me out!

i did not skip the blog on Friday, Saturday and Sunday so i could spend all computer time doing real work, and i wasn’t skipping my blog time because i was tired, grumpy or just plain “over it”. No, because that wouldn’t be me. i am a blogging addict, and i’m not ready to quit just yet!

Because i didn’t skip my own blog, i am NOT behind on reading the posts of my wonderful friends, and i have not missed out on important announcements, quizzes, scavenger hunts, top 5’s and other announcements in their daily lives. No i didn’t.

i did not have an epiphany and realize that the reason my child fusses when i feed her is not because she is unhappy with my choice of puree at that particular meal, but rather, because i’m not shoveling the food in fast enough. No, because my child eats like me, slow enough to savor every bite, taking small portions to make sure she doesn’t overeat.

i surely didn’t just drive through a major freakin‘ snowstorm to get home from the doctor, because i would never have left my house today. Not when snow is a comin‘. Not me. And i didn’t panic all the way home, worrying whether or not i could see the road, was i getting good traction, am i going to make it down the big hill, and oh by the way, here comes a snowplow, and i know they are going to splatter my car with…. *junk* salt and mud and snow and ice and whateverelse is on the road! Yeah, i didn’t worry myself like that, and especially not with my precious sleeping miracle cargo safely buckled in her rear-facing big girl car seat. Nah. Not me.

i also didn’t make my first batch of ham balls, carefully trying to duplicate my mother-in-law’s recipe down to the way she makes her breadcrumbs. And i didn’t have to cut the recipe in half, because only Beef eats ham balls, and what a waste that would be… and when i wasn’t cutting the recipe in half, i didn’t get every measurement exactly perfect except the last ingredient… and when i didn’t put in all of the last ingredient, i didn’t then try to cover up this mistake by adding more of the other ingredients…. no, because i’m the happy housewife, and i don’t make mistakes!

i most certainly didn’t get excited when we had company twice this weekend, because “i don’t need no stinking” company. i need chocolate. and when that runs out, i need Oreos. Seriously though, i was very excited when both sets of grandparents came to visit us this weekend!

and i didn’t suggest that we purchase curtains for A1’s room. i would never do that, because i can make curtains, and i have p-l-e-n-t-y of time to make them.

and finally, my husband, who swore his daughter would wear no pink, would have only tractors and hot wheels to play with, would not be a “girly girl” or a “princess”… that husband seriously did not authorize/participate in the purchase and installation of pink Disney Princess curtains in his daughter’s room.

Nope. Not us. Er…. Not Me!
