"Not me!" Monday



So, the MOTYs have asked for further proof of my exemplary mothering to be considered for the annual Mama of the Year Awards. (Apparently someone is running a smear campaign against me!) I provided them with the following list of things I'd never ever do in order to show them that I'm the best candidate for this completely fictional prestigious award:

I did NOT run out of deodorant and have to use Scott's, much to his disgust. I did NOT smell like a man all day, much to my disgust!

I did NOT know unequivocally that Jack was sick when he looked at Logan dreamily and said, "I love you, brother."

I did NOT have a panic attack when I realized that our take-out menus were missing.

I did NOT order a pizza for delivery so that I could use my dinner-making time to bake a dessert instead.

I did NOT tell the boys that I would play hide-and-seek with them and then let them hide while I "looked" for them by sitting on my butt blogging and shouting, "Oh, where are you?" occasionally.

I am NOT spending way too much time blogging thereby ignoring Jeff and Loyd. Wait...what are my kids' names again?

  1. Dessert is always my favorite thing to cook in the kitchen! I'm with you on that. Have a great Monday.

  9. Hide and seek, I like that one! Who remembers their kids names? I go through a few names and then I say, "hey, what's your name again?" drives the kids crazy =)

  12. First, we all wish MckMama's little one the best!
    And I totally found the take out menu for out favorite pizza place in the car. Sadly, I didn't really need to bring it inside because A)it's memorized and B)I already know the phone number by heart and C)we basically don't even need to call in because they already knwo which day we order and what we want. *sigh* Is that bad, or does it make me popular...at the pizza place? =)

    Stopping by to wish you a big welcoem to the SITSahood! Look forward to seeing you around!

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!
