Not Me! Monday – #22

I love Not Me! Monday created by My Charming Kids so I’ll take this time to reflect on what I did not do this past week. Please take a moment to visit MckMama’s blog to see what she has not been up to herself.

While on vacation this past week I did not find myself doing plenty of crazy things. Like trying to walk outside in wet grass, holding on to my 18 month old as he was squirming to get down and still trying to hold my pants up with my other hand without dropping him. I didn’t want the bottom of my pants to get wet and muddy of course but still. I wouldn’t create this very ridiculous display so that my mom could burst out laughing at my silliness and thereby make it even harder for me to continue walking. I certainly wouldn’t do this for any of the other resort guests to see either.

In trying to tame our crazy son we also wouldn’t consider a harness for him for the first time on vacation And then we wouldn’t actually be playing up to the idea that it is a leash and say things like, “here boy” when he is wearing it just because it really does feel like you are walking a little puppy dog. Nope. We didn’t do that.While hanging out with his older cousins on vacation, our almost three year old Lucian did not start singing along to a song that they all seem to have stuck in their heads. That song wasn’t, “Cha Cha Cha Chia.” (Yes, as in the Chia Pet theme song.) But I didn’t find it so hilarious that Lucian’s version was a little different when I heard him going, “Ta Ta Ta Tortilla!”

While eating out on our vacation at a small local diner (where the food and service was atrocious by the way) I didn’t take our youngest son into the unopened attached gift shop to kill some time. I then didn’t proceed to flip a plug in switch in order view a lamp and when I proceed to turn the strip’s power off, break the switch. I didn’t immediately walk out of the gift shop. (In my defense I did nothing out of the ordinary so it was already faulty. It wasn’t the lamp itself, I swear.)

While at Grandma and Grandpa’s we didn’t suddenly realize that little Warren was missing and run into the bathroom expecting him to be playing in the toilet again. Nope, my dad definitely wouldn’t leave the bathroom door open. We didn’t discover him wet and eating dog food instead. No sir..

And lastly, while sitting with my son Lucian before bed last night, he didn’t pull the top of my shirt slightly down on one side over my shoulder, explaining, “Don’t you want it like this, Mommy?”, as he struggled to pull it down. I didn’t then say, “um, ok” to have him look totally satisfied and smile at me before saying, “There mommy. Now you look like a princess.” This didn’t totally melt me and I didn’t smile and agree with him. I didn’t then laugh my butt off when a few minutes later he was also trying to make daddy into a princess too. 🙂
