Not Me! Monday
Welcome to Not Me! Monday, the blog carnival created by MckMama, where we blog about the events in our lives that are totally not blog-worthy, while shrouding their severity, by pretending we did NOT do them at all!
This week I most certainly did NOT allow my 9-month-old son to feast on french fries and fried dough at his older brother's baseball game, because I forgot his diaper bag at home. Nope, NOT me! I am organized hours in advance for such outings, and I am NEVER bathing the baby 15 minutes prior to our scheduled departure! (Hey, he's teething and we are rolling with his moods, sometimes forsaking routines, and he ate chicken and broccoli the night before for dinner, so it all balances out, right?) The things I allow myself to get away with on baby #4! Baby #1 would NEVER have even been allowed to lay eyes on fried dough and french fries, much less eat them! Maybe the bathing routine will resurface when I return to work in the fall??? I will no longer have the luxury of bathing on a whim, right?
Speaking of things I NEVER would have done with Baby #1, I most certainly did NOT snap this photo of Nicholas eating leaves at the state park before removing them from his mouth.
NOPE! NOT this overprotective, hyper-vigilant, germ-o-phobic mama. (What is happening to me???) Let's face it: this was just NOT a good week for Nick's diet!
(I'm so embarrassed! Poor baby!)
Thankfully, he is still too young to realize that these are NOT the types of greens nutritionists have in mind to replace the bad carbs he consumed at the ball game!
"OOOOHHHH, Mama! Shame on you!"
And finally, my most embarrassing NM, because I wanted to save the worst for last. I most certainly did NOT write this post last week, getting more and more frustrated with MckMama by the hour for not getting Mr. Linky up earlier. Hmmm...this is not like MckMama. right? RIGHT! My eighth grade son came home from school and reminded me it was TUESDAY! I did NOT post a NMM on a Tuesday, because I let the holiday weekend knock me off my A-game. It did NOT take me until 2:30 in the afternoon, to realize it was, in fact, NOT Monday! I also did NOT hurry to edit my post options, so that the date would read Monday, instead of Tuesday, and fewer of my friends and family would realize what a doofus I am! And, no matter what the neighbors tell you, I did NOT make a similar misjudgment with our garbage collection! NOT me! (Unfortunately, life comes with no such editing tool!)
What have you NOT been up to?

Oh...and love the cute Not Me Monday post! Your little ones are adorable!
ReplyDeleteHAHA! I love it! "Frustrated w/ MckMama" I definitley did NOT experience that this morning when I was ready to post at 8:30 am...
ReplyDeleteI have totally done that...posted my NMM on the wrong day!
ReplyDeleteWhat online photography classes are you taking? Your pictures of your son are awesome. I can take good nature picture but my people ones ar not so good!
ReplyDeleteLOL, 4th children are handled so differently! I missed Monday last week too!
ReplyDeleteHi. I just found the really sweet comment you left me on my blog. I don't know why I missed it before. I have a hundred different things going on right now but I would love to hear from you. I will try to get on later tonight and send you an email. Thank you for the encouragement.
ReplyDelete:) love it! Thank you for the laughs :)
ReplyDeletelove that you didn't get confused on the day of the week. i never used to do that before having kids
ReplyDeleteand i don't even want to consider what i'd be doing if we had one more baby. #3 has had more soda in the last month that the other two have in 5 and 6 years (still not much at all but the others never have any)

Cute pix.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how we change with each additional baby. I am sure the little guy loved the snackbar fare :-D
Enjoyed your Not Me's!
I am here solely for your viewing pleasure:) If I get a laugh out of a 4 year old, I'll be happy! :)
ReplyDeleteDiet DP Spice Cake, or diet any-soda ANYTHING cake:
1 can diet soda
1 box cake mix
MIX AND BAKE! That is it! The only guideline is that if you're using a white cake, use a clear soda and a dark cake w/ a dark soda. So far, the spice cake mix is my FAAAAAV, but the diet coke chocolate cake turned out beautifully too. If you have a "super moist" cake mix, it will be WAY moist, so I omit some of the soda. Tastes just like normal:)
