Not Me! Monday



This past weekend there was a Civil War reenactment in a town near by, but being the wonderful caring mother that I am I certainly did not drag my 4.5 & 6.5 year old children to it simply b/c I'm kind of a nerd. Furthermore, I did not let my kids sit as close to the cannons as was allowed by the re-enactors so that they could feel the boom right through their chests...for 45 minutes.


Also, I did not perch myself halfway up the slide at the park to take pictures while my 11 month old nephew climbed up it.



And I certainly didn't make my kids stand in front of a pond and pose for 10 minutes to try and get a cute photo of them.








**edit**

Also, I did not let my kids have ice cream and or brownies for dinner this past week...twice.

Not Me! Monday

Earlier this week my daughter started running a fever in the middle of the night, being the wonderful mother that I am, I would never dream of hiding the meds in some pudding. Nor would I ever eat ALL the left over pudding, thus forcing me to make another batch up for her. Twice . This weekend while my kids were visiting their uncle (who is on leave from Afganistan) I certainly did not go out to eat after church with two families who had all their kids in tow. Furthermore, I was not ridiculously excited when I found out that we were going to Old Country Buffet and that OCB now had a slushie machine. I certainly would never eat a ton of food and then stuff myself even more simply b/c the cake on the dessert bar looked amazing. Additionally, I did not toy with the idea of going back to get a mousse that looked really good despite the fact that I was ready to burst. After eating I did not volunteer to walk the two boys over to guitar center so that the three of us wouldn...
