My Dog...

...is the best!


He lays at my feet all day long. (Unless I step on him.)


Oh no, looks like I dropped a piece of candy. I guess I got caught today!

Not Me! My child! Monday

Ok! So, we've established that we as parents are not perfect and have celebrated that fact thus far. However, today's special edition of Not Me! Monday is celebrating the fact that our children are not perfect either, no matter how cute we dress them or how well they seem to behave in public. Click on the banner below to read hundreds of other mom's stories about what their children have not done.



I have not told my child so many times which drawer to put her clothes into (and not the floor) that she did this:


"Underwear" and...


"Shirts."
Just in case you were wondering, yes they were labeled correctly on my dresser.

It is also no secret that in our household we love candy. Yes, it rubs off on our kids too. Just this morning I sent my dear husband to the store to refill a prescription (and redeem the $20 coupon we got for being frequent flyer pharmacy customers before it expires on us) and pick up some gummies (I love the bulk section too!). They got back from the store and my dear daughter did not say "Here's your bag, Mommy. I got one too and so did Daddy. Now, none of us have to share. Isn't that great?"

See what I did not do? I did not teach her that if you don't want to share yours, all you have to do is make sure your child has one of their own too! WOW! Didn't realize it was that obvious until today.

Do you have a story to share about how perfect your children are not? Leave it in a comment. You don't have to identify yourself and we can all have a ROFL Monday experience. (By the way, for anyway doesn't know ROFL = Rolling On Floor Laughing). Don't we all deserve that kind of Monday?

Not Me, Monday!

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

I did not pack for Megan's hospitalization on Friday using the "going home" bags from the last hospital stay, 13 days ago.


I do not think that this is a well-balanced meal.


And, I have not also been drinking the pictured beverage more often this week. I quit drinking that beverage because it has so much sugar and everything. If you have too many in a day, it makes you fat. So, I switched to Diet Coke. All this stress has not made my behavior regress the slightest bit.

Remember these goodies?


They are sooo not coming in very handy this week - in the hospital here at home and all.

Monica and I have not had strawberry shortcake for breakfast more than once this week. (Ice cream is the same as having a glass of milk, right?) There is no evidence available for this one because, you know, it vanished.

Finally, when my friend called me earlier this week and I was going somewhere in the car, I did not call her and say, "It isn't safe to text and drive, so I decided to call you instead."

I have posted several Not Me! Mondays these last couple of months just for the fun of it. It cheers me up. Now, I am asking my readers - to cheer me up some more. Is there anything you did not do that you are willing to share with me?
Leave your message in my comments. You don't even have to identify yourself - I have anonymous comments enabled.

By the way, next week's Not Me! Monday is going to have a different focus. Stay tuned as we'll take a one-week break from Not Me! Monday and instead do a Not My Child! Monday. We'll bite the bullet and share the things that there is no way our children were caught doing!

Not Me! Monday - Late Night Confession

Better late than never right? It is still technically Monday for a few more hours minutes. Others chose to add MckMama's original NMM posts to her BlogFrog Community today. So, here goes.

This weekend all the rooms in the Ronald McDonald House got presents left at their doors. I did not see my present...


...with less goodies than my neighbor...


and switch them. (Theirs had a shoe polish cloth and extra kleenex.) No one was looking.

Then, I went to the hospital gift shop to get some cough drops. Which I found. (Thank you, Lord!)


And, some Vitamin C drops. (Cool, bonus!)


Some sort of fruity, sugary, gummies? (I love gummies!)


But, sour exploders are great too. They're gummies and they liquify in your mouth? Which to get?


Who put the medicine in the candy aisle? I can't say "NO" to laffy taffy, in multiple flavors.


But, I have too many sweet items!!!!! Oh, I know, I'll add something.......



.....................SALTY!!!!!

I didn't? did I?

Nope, not me!
