Time again for MckMama's...

I did not cook three frozen dinners...three nights in a row.... when hubby was out of town (for three nights) last week. Oh no- only freshly prepared meals here... all natural, all the time.

I did NOT wear the same pair of socks during the day... then to bed that night cause I was cold.... then the entire next day since I didn't feel like showering- or changing socks.... ewww! That would be so gross.

I have not found myself actually crawling into my little toddler's TODDLER-sized bed with her - (legs all crunched up to fit) when she wakes up in the middle of the night, because I am too tired to sit in the chair and rock her and too lazy to let her cry herself back to sleep.

And I did not ooh and ahhh at my son's artwork from church on Sunday and then turn around (when he wasn't looking) and stuff it in the recycling bin. Because that would be so cruel! No- not me! I'm that Mom who has her kids artwork framed and hanging all over the walls. Okay- actually, I'm not. But I wish I were!

But, speaking of framed photo's, I most certainly do not have empty frames all around my house (for the last several years) because I am too lazy to fill them with pictures...

And, even worse, I most certainly do not have pictures hanging on the wall (for the last 6 years) that have pictures of other random kids, that are not even my own, because I've neglected to change out the picture it came with to a picture of my own kid!! NO WAY! NOT ME!!!

Who are these kids??? I have no idea- but they sure aren't mine!!

"Not Me! Monday"

If you haven't already checked out the blog phenomenon known as 'My Charming Kids' you should really do yourself a favor and check it out. I have the privilege of being actual "real life" friends with "McMama" and I can tell you that she is even more amazing, creative, unique and fun in real life as she is on her blog. That being said, I thought I would join in on her "Not Me Monday" invention that is both hilarious and refreshingly therapeutic.

Here is my rendition of "Not Me's" that I committed this past week:

1. I did not get up at 6:30 a.m. this morning and then sit around in my pajamas until 10 a.m. doing "stuff" on my computer and I most certainly did not let my kids play in their pajamas until 10 a.m. because that would have been highly counterproductive to our always highly productive school routine each morning.

2. I did not tell my kids that, "NO!" they could not have a square of chocolate and shew them out the door and then as soon as they were gone, shove 2 chocolate squares in my own mouth before I headed out the door. Not me! That would be very hypocritical!

3. I definitely did not give in this morning when my son asked if he could wear his Vikings shirt... for the second day in a row... and let him retrieve it balled up from the bottom of the dirty clothes hamper... and I definitely did not let him wear it after he scooped it out. dirty. wrinkled. for the second day in a row.

4. I did not bring along fruit/veggie "spray" and a rag to "wash" off all the apples before we ate them at the orchard as we walked along picking- because that would be semi-neurotic.

5. And, speaking of the apple orchard, I most certainly did not find myself in a very precarious situation in the bathroom stall having to be very creative by folding a diaper in half, inside out, and creating a very bulky feminine hygiene product- no way, no way! Because that would have been very embarrassing, desperate, and made for a very "padded" ride in the tractor wagon. (P.S. thank God men don't read this blog!)

Whoa, Nelly- I should stop myself right THERE. Before this thing gets out of hand!
