Not Me! Monday



whoa!! it has been awhile since i had a few moments to join in all the Not Me! Monday fun, created and hosted by the ever-awesome & fantastic MckMama...



so if you have been plagued by guilt for letting the dishes take over the kitchen sink or you left your kiddo in the bath so long their fingers & toes are permently wrinkle-ly, just so you could get the laundry laid out in peace, well shake it off, girl!!! Not Me! Monday was MckMama's brillant idea for us to share are less than memorable mom & wife experiences, and guess what?! no ones perfect, so let's share....



because i am sooooo darn healthy, i would definitely not take Big 'K' to get fast food for lunch and certainly didn't eat most of the fries myself... nope!!



and during spring break during one of the days it didn't rain (yuck) we had a glorious day at the zoo!! simply beautiful!! but because i refuse to buy bottled water, i took empty bottles to fill once we got there... because i am all knowing, we didn't have only 2 bottles of vitamin water to share for 3 hours due to the fact the zoo had not yet turned the drinking fountains on... not me!! i plan well, even for the annoyingly unexpected!! (thankfully Nana doesn't live too far from the zoo and we crashed her house for some refills once we left, if i had actually made the mistake of not taking enough to drink...)



and while taking my kiddos plus my niece & nephew to go skating during a particularly rainy day during spring break (i know, i'm a pretty darn fun mama!!), i did not have a meltdown on my niece for not being able to skate 12 inches without falling down and killing everyone around her with her big ol' roller skates... i am totally compassionate and patient...


me: "what is the deal?!! let's stand up, use some muscles, hold your arms out and use the wall if you need to.... no, no, NO!! ouch!! please stop kicking your feet out when you fall, you just about killed that kid with your skate!! you've skated before, work with me..."


picture it: i'm holding 'K' with my left arm, lil' Lou-Woo girlie is gingerly skating behind me, and i'm hold up my niece with my right arm..


my niece: (while beginning to cry...) "i can't... i've never been skating before!!"



me: (with look of digust, for myself, and annoyance, at my brother & sister-in-law for not telling me that they've never skated before...) "oh!.... well, uummm... you're doing great!! ya! okay this is how you do it...." and once to the sidelines, i sent an ugly text to my sister-in-law :)


if this had actually happened, i would feel a little bad (okay, a lot bad) for simply assuming that every kid by the time they are 7 have gone skating.... but since this obviously did not occur, then i'm totally fine... ahem.....



wow!! that was theraputic!! and i am so ready for all this week's mishaps perfectly planned schedule....
