"Not me!" Monday



Another week has come and gone and I can hardly believe that I'm still in the running for the MOTYs (Mama of the Year Awards). Actually, I guess I can believe it because I'm a perfect wife and mother (and daughter and friend). The MOTYs must have heard of my exemplary mothering this week to keep me in the running for this completely fictional prestigious award. Here are just a few examples:

Sometimes I do NOT still forget to have my boys brush their teeth even after I did NOT make an eclectic centerpiece of their vitamins, toothbrushes and toothpaste on the table we eat our meals at.

I do NOT let Logan watch way too much TV in the mornings because he gets up at 5AM and I'm desperate to try and get a few more seconds of shut-eye.

I did NOT beg and plead with my sons' preschool director to not close early (at 11:45AM!) on rainy days. I can surely find something to do indoors to entertain my boys for several hours a day.

The boys and I did NOT drive my husband to work in the morning, drive back to his work to take him to lunch and drive to pick him after work all in one day in an effort to "entertain" my kids on a rainy day.

I did NOT pass out at 9PM from sheer exhaustion (falling asleep in clothes) when I had dirty dishes overflowing the sink and several loads of laundry in desperate need of washing. (Hmmm...I guess I should also say that I did have NOT dirty dishes overflowing the sink and several loads of laundry in desperate need of washing.)

  5. I don't have mountains of laundry to do either! And if I did I certainly wouldn't be avoiding it by reading other people's blogs!

  10. Sometimes getting the kids in the car and getting out of the house is SO worth it! I am with you on that one!
    I have so much trouble remembering the teeth thing, too. It drives me crazy b/c I want them to have healthy habits and then I just keep forgetting. I guess I will see how things are going since my 5 year old has a dentist check up tomorrow.

  11. Oh oh oh, I am with you on the "drive dad to work, meet for lunch, pick him up" thing! I have SO been there and done that. Glad it is not just me.

    One of these days, I will join in the Not Me posts. When there is no school. Maybe summertime???

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!
