Not Me! Monday

This blog therapy was created by

MckMama

as a way of shamelessly fessing up to

all the bad normal mommy stuff we did

over the past week!

Read along, join in, and then hop over to

My Charming Kids

and see what MckMama and the other mommas

are not doing, and certainly not confessing to

this week!

I am seriously not excited by my newfound

ability to mess around till I do something right

use HTML to do cool things like make pictures

bigger in my posts, and fix my spacing problems!

I didn't use my newfound picture sizing skill

to make all the pics in Jacob's birthday post bigger-

and I would never brag about it or link back

to it just cause I thought it was so cool-not me!!

I did not have such a busy weekend that my

head is still spinning. And since I wasn't so busy,

I totally didn't;

*Have to go to the chiropractor in Mobile not once,

but twice Friday because I pulled a rib out. SOO painful!

Thanks, Dr. Rob!

*Go to the open house at Paul's employer-4 hrs outside

at the hottest part of the day! We got to go onboard

the Navy ship LHD 8 that Paul has worked on for the last 5 years

(he works for a shipyard, for those who didn't know)

We only took the oldest 3 cause the little ones

were too little to go on the ship.
*Throw Jacob's party just hours after we got home

from the shipyard! And I made sure everyone

was bathed because I would never host a birthday party

after we were all sweating for 4 hours

in the blazing heat without showering-no way, not me!

*Paul and I did not stay up too late watching a movie with

my brother and SIL after Jacob's party even though
Paul had to go to work early Sunday morning.

*Since Paul had to work Sunday, I totally didn't get

all the kids up and dressed and to church-on time!

*I would never rush from church to the store, and from

the store home to fix a quick lunch and begin preparing

for Emmie's party-including baking the cake

and making homemade icing. Nope, I did not do TWO parties

in ONE weekend-that would simply be too much!

PHEW...I'm not exhausted just typing all that!

I am not SOOOO incredibly proud of Paul for

not getting a promotion at work! He is not making

a considerable amount more money which we

totally do not need! The down side is he is not

working 7-12s for the next few weeks

which really doesn't suck for us timewise,

but is also not fantastic financially.

Noah is not the strip ninja and as such, he cannot

strip his clothes in a matter of seconds-even his diaper.

That said, he has never peed on my new rug,

and certainly not more than once! And today

when Sydney called me from the living room saying

that he had once again disrobed, this time with a dirty diaper,

I did not come running, only to find the diaper truly not dirty.

When I asked her about it, she said, 'I thought he had poo-poo

because it smells so bad in here!' Upon further inspection,

I did not find the source of the smell-apparently

he did not cop a squat in the corner of the living

room and take a big fat dump!!

make me a smelly pile to clean up!

UGH!!! I was not horrified, and laughing

all at the same time!! And Noah just kept saying,

'I sowwy. I not poo-poo on fwoor

adin, momma!' over and over, totally not making

it that much funnier. Hey, I was just

un-thankful that it was on the wood and not the

carpet!

Well, I don't feel better for my confessions!

Hopefully I won't post pictures from

the weekend tomorrow!

See ya next week!

TTFN,
