"Not Me!" Monday



So, the MOTYs called. You know...the MOTYs are the one who hand out the Mama of the Year Award annually. Anyway, apparently I'm in the running. I had to supply them a record of good deeds that clearly show how worthy I am of this completely fictional prestigious award. Here were just a few tidbits about myself that I shared with them:

I did NOT forget to make dinner and then serve the family fast-food on the floor "picnic style" because I was too lazy to clean the table off.

I did NOT sneak a Candy Cane Joe-Joe while the boys were not looking. I did NOT eat that cookie and avert my face when the kids got near in case they could smell my cookie breath.

I did NOT seriously, seriously, seriously consider cutting Jack's hair while he slept. I did NOT contemplate how we would get all that hair out of his bed. I did NOT consider how traumatized he might be if he woke up with me standing over him with a pair of scissors.

I did NOT have popcorn for dinner.

I did NOT tell the boys that the candy that came with the gingerbread house kit was just pretend and if they ate it it would make them sick.

  4. This made me LOL! I have tried to hide my junk eating from my kids many times, only to have one of them smell my breath and say, "HEY! DID you eat a cookie???"
    Those little detectives get us every time!

  6. Carey...your NMM post is making me giggle!!! Out loud! I loved the one about averting your head so they wouldn't smell your breath...totally also something I would NOT do :). My kids always pause and then give me that "knowing" look before saying, "What did you eat!"

    Have a VERY merry Christmas, girl!

Yeah! I love comments! Feel free to leave me one (or two or three).
But remember what your mama said..."If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."
Thanks!
