"Not Me!"/Mommy & Me Monday...

It has been a few weeks since I have confessed all my "Not Me" moments, but I have decided to 'fess up once again, so here are a few for your reading enjoyment! 

I did NOT forget to take Libbi's bottle down to her classroom so she could eat her "breakfast" this week.  Her teacher did NOT have to walk down the hall to come get it out of my classroom fridge.  She did NOT have to come back a mere five minutes later because the bottle I brought for Libbi had NO nipple!  I did NOT fill the bottle with milk, screw on the little white top (with no nipple inside) and put a cap on it without even noticing!  I did NOT wonder why it had leaked a little in the car on the way to school, but NOT bother to find out why....

Libbi's teachers did NOT find a small collection of cardboard inside her tights.  It was NOT remnants of the cardboard insert that came inside the tights when I bought them last week.  I did NOT wash these tights along with the cardboard and unknowingly put them on her....cardboard crumbs and all.

I did NOT just find out that there is not a "nursery" at the hospital where I delivered Libbi...I know, I know.....this is SO shocking, it deserves a post all of it's own....I'll post the full story tomorrow.

Libbi surely did NOT start crawling ALL.OVER.THE.PLACE before we have "baby-proofed" anything! We have NOT quickly figured out why people "baby-proof."  Our leather ottoman is NOT in front of the fireplace.  Our couch pillows are NOT surrounding the coffee table.  There is NOT a play mat blocking a flower arrangement. And we most certainly do NOT have tiny handprints on our entertainment center. 

Our living room does NOT look like an obstacle course.  And despite our best attempts to keep her out, Libbi does NOT find a way into all the little nooks and crannies anyway!

Finally, I did NOT commit to participating in "Mommy and Me Mondays" and then forget to take a picture of Libbi and I together. I did NOT set the self timer on our camera on Sunday night and try to get a picture of the two of us. It is NOT the only picture I have of us from this past week....oops! I am NOT promising to try a little harder to get a decent picture made of us this week!

Hope you have a great Monday! :) 

"Not Me!" Monday....

It was NOT me that opened a bag of rice only to have it EXPLODE all over the kitchen. I was NOT finding rice in my hair, down my dress, and in my socks all throughout the day. This rice was NOT in the eyes of our stove, under the dishwasher, or behind the refrigerator. I did NOT have the brilliant idea to just bring the vacuum cleaner into the kitchen. It was NOT me that tried to vacuum up all the rice from our hardwood floors instead of sweeping it. This did NOT result in gusts of air blowing the rice even further across our kitchen and creating an even bigger mess. I am still NOT finding random grains in odd places throughout my kitchen and dining room.

I am clearly such a neat freak that I would NEVER, ever just toss Libbi's outgrown clothes into a large pile in the guest room. There is no way that I have let this pile of clothes accumulate over the past eight months into a large mountain of precious outfits. It is certainly NOT me that posts a "Do Not Enter" sign on the guest room door when our house is being cleaned. And that is certainly NOT Jeffrey's diploma or our engagement portrait propped up against the wall behind the mountain of clothes...

I do NOT cook supper for Jeffrey and then ask him to bring me home chick-fil-a, because the chicken I cooked just "smells weird." This has NOT happened more than once....

It is NOT my sweet girl that has cut FOUR more teeth since my last "Not Me!" post....that's right, FOUR!! She does NOT have a total of SIX TEETH which she has NOT started biting with...ugh....that's all I'll say about that.

My laptop does NOT have a wonky shift key due to my precious girl. It is NOT because I let her bang on the keys while I was uploading pictures. She did NOT completely pull off the shift key and I did NOT unsuccessfully try to put it back on.

Finally, I am NOT wrapping up this post so I can watch The Bachelor...WITH JEFFREY!
I did NOT talk him into watching it with me last week. I did NOT fall asleep before it ended (don't worry...we TiVo'd it!) and Jeffrey did NOT stay up and watch all of it without me! It is NOT safe to say that he is officially hooked! And he does NOT loathe Vienna Sausage as much as I do!! ha!

Happy Monday!! :0)

"Not Me!" Monday...

I did NOT do laundry for the FIRST TIME in I-don't-know-how-long on Sunday.  This was NOT because my sweet husband has been doing ALL the laundry for the past 3 months (or more!)  He did NOT tell me that there was a reason I had been "banned" from laundry!

We do NOT leave our TV on all night....okay, okay, I do NOT leave the TV on all night...it is NOT because I am addicted to shows like "Teen Mom," "Toddlers and Tiaras," or "The Real Housewives of Orange County" and 2am is the only time I can watch them since Jeffrey flat out refuses to watch any part of those shows.

While the TV was on one night, I did NOT "hear" (in my half asleep/dream state) this commercial and think that someone was in my house calling my name.  I was NOT just a little freaked out when I woke up.

Our sweet little Libbi Lou is NOT about to look like she could be in the next Twilight movie.  She is definitely NOT cutting two teeth on top that will make her look just like a vampire....

I would NEVER let my sweet child sit in a high chair at a restaurant without a cover on it. Those things are full of germs and I would NEVER subject her to such things.  Furthermore, I would NEVER let her hold on to the menu (and possibly try to chew on it!) because who knows where those things have been or the last time (if ever) they were cleaned!?!?!

I did NOT have a five-year-old in my class cry because we refused to play Michael Jackson at the Dad's Day Disco.....he was obviously not pleased with the "chicken dance" or the "cha-cha-slide"


I did NOT have to ask who left their teeth sitting by the sink in our classroom after washing out their paint tray.....there was NOT more than one person that claimed the teeth belonged to them....sigh....only in Kindergarten ;0)

Have a wonderful Monday!! :0)

"Not Me!" Monday...

I am NOT doing my "Not Me!" Monday post on a Tuesday....I am NOT writing this post on a Tuesday, because I did NOT spend Monday afternoon in the doctor's office with my sweet girl.....

I did NOT find out after two chest x-rays, a visit to urgent care, a follow-up from our doctor, having her oxygen levels tested, and two very stressful nights that our sweet girl is actually NOT just a big, fat, faker actress.  I am NOT one bit worried that she might have gotten this admirable trait from her mother!

When taking this precious little drama queen to the doctor yesterday, I did NOT hear her basically explode in the backseat on the way there. I did NOT realize that in my rush to get to the doctor I had neglected to pack a single diaper or wipe.  I did however bring an enormous diaper bag.....

I did NOT have to ask the nurse for a diaper and wipes as soon as we entered the office.  I was NOT completely embarrassed.... 


Our doctor's office did NOT only have size one diapers....and they had NOT just "run out" of wipes.  I did NOT have to use wet kleenex in the exam room to try to clean up my fragrant little darling before she was seen by the doctor. She did NOT proceed to leave "skid marks" all over the paper covering the exam table.  I did NOT use paper towels to cover them up so I could still lie her down on top of the table.  I did NOT tell her to "suck it in" while I tried to squeeze a size one diaper on her size three body...    
 

I did NOT neglect to tell the doctor why the exam table was lined in papertowels until it was too late....

I will NOT make sure that Daddy takes her to the next appointment! ;0)

Happy Monday Tuesday!!

One last thing....we did NOT receive a precious bib in the mail, but have NO idea who it came from!  If it was you, please let me know so we can properly thank you! ;0)

"Not Me!" Monday...

We did NOT finally make it back to church on Sunday morning after a month hiatus.  I did NOT have to fight the urge to go to IHOP or stay in bed instead....

I did NOT have big plans to take Libbi's picture when we got home from church because she looked so stinkin' cute.  (Have I NOT learned that all pictures MUST be made as soon as she is dressed????)

She was NOT wearing this adorable pink smocked dress and bloomers when I dropped her off in the church nursery.....and she surely was NOT wearing a mismatched onesie and pant set when I picked her up!

I did NOT get to pack up a Wal-Mart bag full of all her belongings wrapped in paper towels to take home with us.  She did NOT explode through her diaper, a pair of tights, bloomers, AND her dress!!

Oh yeah, this was NOT our first time visiting this church and I did NOT spend 10 minutes profusely apologizing to the volunteers while Jeffrey went to get the car....

We did NOT have a snow day (which was really just an "ice day") on Friday....apparently Libbi was NOT aware of this since she did NOT decide to get up at 5am....

I did NOT ask Jeffrey to change her diaper while I finished "pumping" (discreetly on the couch in the middle of the living room while watching TV, of course).  He did NOT tell me that he did not have time because he was late for work.

I did NOT find out less than five minutes later (as soon as he pulled out of the neighborhood) his TRUE reason for forgoing the diaper change....it did NOT include a massive blowout...

I did NOT have to put Libbi in the bathtub at 7am that morning.  I did NOT have to take apart her exersaucer to remove the seat cover and put it in the washing machine.  I did NOT throw away the pajamas that she was wearing because they were NOT too far gone....

That's right....take a good look at these PJ's, because you will NOT be seeing them again!

I did NOT get mad at Jeffrey when I talked to him later in the day.  He did NOT all but admit that he knew she had exploded.  He did NOT tell me that he thought he was being helpful by picking her up out of the exersaucer and putting her on her stomach instead....

Finally, I did NOT just write an entire "Not Me!" post all about my poor child's digestive issues - ha! ;0)

Happy Monday!

"Not Me!" Monday...

It was surely "Not Me!" who got in my car at 7:45 am this morning to go to chick-fil-a the dry cleaners only to find that my car WOULD NOT START!!! I did NOT already have Libbi strapped into her carseat, a large bag of clothes that needed cleaning in the front seat, and a handy dandy "christian chicken" gift card begging to be used....

I did NOT get that chick-fil-a gift card from Jeffrey.  He did NOT give it to me to bribe me to take his clothes to the dry cleaners.  I am NOT 100% weakened by the temptation of chick-fil-a and I can NOT be bribed with their enticing gift cards.  In fact, I am NOT more disappointed about missing out on a chicken biscuit than I am about my car sitting in the garage unable to start....

I did NOT go to the grocery store for the first time in I don't know how long....it has NOT been so long since I have bought groceries that I could have given Old Mother Hubbard a run for her money....


Our cupboards were NOT so bare, that I did NOT eat chips and salsa for breakfast two mornings in a row. I did NOT consider this a complete meal because it consisted of fruits, vegetables, and grains...

Libbi did NOT just start sleeping in her crib.  She has NOT been in a pack-n-play in our bedroom since she was born.  I did NOT start out saying she would only sleep in our room for six weeks....those six weeks did NOT turn into six months...I could NOT have easily let those six months turn into six years...

It was NOT slightly traumatic for me (NOT HER!) to move her over to her own room.  She has NOT slept like a champ every other night since being in her own room.  I am NOT stumped as to why she sleeps well some nights and not others....

I have NOT enjoyed 2 1/2 glorious weeks at home with my sweet girl.  I do NOT have to go back to work tomorrow....I am NOT dreading it one little bit.... ugh, Not Me! ;0)

Finally, do you remember that delicious gift that I received for Christmas?  The one that I posted about here?? Well, it most certainly is NOT completely empty and surely has NOT been that way since last week! I would NEVER eat cookies for breakfast every. single. day.  No way, Not me! 

Happy 1st Monday of 2010!

"Not Me!" Monday...

Where to begin?!  There were so many "Not-Me!" moments that happened over our wonderful week of Christmas that I just don't even know where to start.  But, after careful consideration, this seemed like a good opener:

I did NOT receive this delicious and *highly* addictive 40 oz JUG of cookies from Jeffrey for Christmas.  It was NOT one of my favorite Christmas gifts this year. 

I did NOT pose Libbi with this jar of sweet goodness just so you could fully appreciate it's glorious size...

Libbi did NOT immediately start crying once she realized these cookies were NOT just for me ;0)

I have NOT single-handedly made a serious "dent" in the amount of cookies in this jar.  I will NOT decline to post a picture of this because I am NOT slightly embarrassed by the vast number of cookies I have consumed in a short period of time....

I did NOT purchase a small jar of these cookies for Libbi to eat hold on to on her six-month-birthday.  I did NOT use them as a prop for her pictures and then easily polish off the entire jar (remember...it was a SMALL one!) before Jeffrey got home from work.  I did NOT receive my King sized jar a mere two days later...

I have NOT been unable to sleep more than 30 minutes at a time, because *someone* (who shall remain nameless) has NOT suddenly decided to quit sleeping through the night and START screaming instead....

This same someone has NOT worn only pajamas since Christmas Eve...

 

unless of course she's NOT just hangin' out in her birthday suit...

Finally, I do NOT have to wrap up this post, because my house does NOT look oddly similar to the way it did 3 days ago...

YIKES!

Happy Monday ;0)

"Not Me!" Monday...

Happy Monday!  I feel like I have been slacking on my "Not Me!" posts, but since I am out of school for  Christmas Break...I have a little extra time to devote to it.  Who cares about Christmas shopping, cleaning my house, or cooking dinner?  I am choosing to write a "Not Me!" Monday post instead! ;0)


I am NOT typing this on Sunday night, because I am so bored and have nothing else to do.  I am NOT postdating this post to publish first thing Monday morning.  I am NOT sitting upstairs in the guest room typing on the computer because I have been forbidden to use the laptop downstairs.  It is NOT to be used only for fantasty football on Sundays....

While doing some Christmas shopping at the mall, I did NOT slam Libbi's stroller into one of the "sale signs" at the front of a store.  It did NOT make a horrendous screech and slide out the door.  People did NOT turn and look and I did NOT smile and say, "oops....don't worry....she's okay!" and then quickly speed walk out of that store...

I did NOT get mad a Jeffrey for "stealing" my gift from the white elephant gift exchange.  I did NOT go to bed without speaking to him.  Helllloooo....it was chick-fil-a giftcards....and I do NOT think I was totally justified in my anger. 

The next morning Jeffrey did NOT forget to put those giftcards away and I did NOT pocket them on my way downstairs.  I have NOT used every. single. one. of. them. ;0)

I have NOT eaten almost an entire bag of Hershey Kisses (do NOT get the new "meltable kisses"....they are addictive!).  I am NOT ashamed to say that I do NOT feel the least bit bad about it, either. I did NOT eat so many that I just decided to consider them my "lunch" yesterday.

Libbi did NOT "face-plant" while practicing sitting up by herself.  I did NOT take a picture before I helped her up.  I do NOT laugh every time I see this picture. 

Don't worry, she is totally fine! ;0)

but....maybe just a little annoyed with me....

We are NOT taking Libbi to see Santa today.  We are NOT going to Bass Pro shop only because a) it is free and b) they let you bring in your own camera.  I do NOT care one little bit that her Santa picture will have the Bass Pro logo on the corner of it. ;0)

Happy Monday before Christmas!!
