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.
For this edition of Not Me Monday I’ll once again take this time to reflect on what I did not do this past week.
I am a wonderful mommy who would never even dare to dream of throwing away of any of the lovely coloring and artwork my two year old son has done. Never! I know he’ll grow up to one day be Picasso and I need to have these on hand to show everyone what he was capable of at a such a young age. (Trust me, it would definitely have to be abstract since the artistic gene does not seem to be in his DNA, thanks to me.) I would just ignore the fact that many of the pieces have only a couple of scribbles on the whole page and be so proud to still have them all on my refrigerator. I would never do this but if I did I would still keep a couple, just not the dozen or so that were clipped together by a chip clip and slowly making their descent down my fridge with their weight. But of course I didn’t purge any of this artwork. Not me!
And I did not almost forget my yoga class. I also did not think about whether or not I wanted to go to yoga or get something for my noisy tummy, like Chinese. Mmmm, Chinese. I love yoga (I really do) but of course I wouldn’t ponder the idea of getting food instead of having to wait another hour by attending my lunch hour yoga class. And I definitely wouldn’t debate this for a couple of minutes until, oops, it was too late to go and oh darn, I guess I’ll just have to go get something to eat instead. I wouldn’t do that; I wouldn’t since I’m so dedicated.
I also would not after hearing the news my husband gave our two year old a chocolate chip cookie first thing in the morning, say and do nothing. I surely would have scolded him or at least given him my “Really?” look in a disapproving way.
Lastly, I certainly wouldn’t be so gross as to pick my son’s nose at Target to remove a large boogie that was driving my two year old nuts. If I did I would make sure I still had some tissues in my purse before removing this irritant and I wouldn’t find myself holding this hard, crusty little boogie between my fingertips and wishing I had a tissue. And I most DEFINITELY would not do a quick sweep of the eye to see who might be watching and then finding the coast was clear-flick the boogie onto the floor. NEVER WOULD I EVER DO THIS!! Good thing I didn’t then, right?
Great NOT ME’s, the things we do as mothers 🙂
Ohhhh! The boogie comment! I have NEVER done that! And yes, I have never hid my children’s artwork in the recycling bag, way at the bottom as to not hurt their feelings and I have never gotten caught doing that either!
LOL! Its sooo hard for me to throw away my little man’s artwork! I take pictures of most of it, that way I have it one way or the other!
The boogie one was awesome! I’ll have to check the bottom of my shoes now!
we scanned my sons piles and piles of artwork and make it a revolving screensaver on our computer. He is only allowed one picture on the fridge at a time and he’s quite happy watching his “art gallery video”
You are a bad, bad boogie flicker.
there are many things we do as mom that we would of not done before being a mom
