Not Me! Monday

It is not Not Me! Monday again. Time does not fly by so quickly that I can't keep up!

Our family did not go to the tree farm again this weekend. We already got our tree so why would we go again? Kayley did not get to hold the saw again (you know how I feel about that) and Cole did not run around jumping off and tripping on tree stumps. My dad paid for the kids to ride the ponies. When they were done Cole said "mom, I rode a big rooster!" The ponys' name was rooster but it was funny if you can imagine him riding a real one. I would never do that though. That's way too weird.

I have not had crazy baby fever the past couple of weeks. I would not actually want to be big and uncomfortable with an achy back and sore feet. I never enjoyed people doing things for me while I was prego and I wouldn't like late night feedings or clothing changes after projectile poops. I have never liked all the tiny little clothes and shoes and such. Nope, I would never even think about having baby fever.

We did not find out this week that Tyler is unemployed. I'm so good at keeping my cool and rolling with the punches that I havn't lost my temper or my mind for that matter. I am not trying the best I can to stay joyful and keep it together. It is also apparent that I can not take a usually funny Not Me! Monday blog and make it depressing.

I could not use some cheering up this week!

Joy to my World

I'm really not feeling all that wonderfully creative with my bloggin' skills this week plus I'm not too happy about Tyler being out of a job two weeks before Christmas. So here's a little something something to make us all happy.

Not Me! Monday

It’s that time again! MckMama makes me feel so much better about the silly things the kids and I do during the week! Enjoy!

Tyler got a new cheapo helicopter this week. We did not spend our Friday night flying the heli back and forth between the living room and dining rooms for 45 minutes. We did not find that if you give it a little push that it plummets toward the other person at amazing speeds and can even cause injury. It then did not turn into a game of crash-land-the-heli-and-see-if-it-stays-together. We have more important and exciting things to do than play silly games like that, especially on a Friday night!

We went to the Thayer’s Christmas party this weekend. We played an exchange game with gift cards where you try to get the one you want. I did not have to fight with women twice my age for a gift card to Victorias Secret! Thank goodness I didn’t go home with it.

I did not go to see Celine Dion on Tuesday with Krista. I did not totally love her and her beautiful face. My heart did not go out to the old man next to us who was holding a picture of his wife and a tissue. Tears weren’t running down his face and I would never desire to wrap my loving arms around him.

When we were getting our tree this weekend my husband did not allow our four year old to carry the saw the entire time. After 20 minutes of jabbing me with it accidently, I decided it was time for me to hold it. When I took it from her hands, Kayley did not shout “Mom! You scratched me! Be careful with that!”

While my daughter was busy slaughtering the nearest victim, my darling son did not try to make his way through the trees but instead managed to trip on every single tree stump, land on his face, shake it off and move along like it was daily business. I didn’t choose to ignore his subtle cries knowing they wouldn’t last long and that he didn’t really need me.

My kids didn’t do anything else noteworthy this week. I would never forget to make a note of these things so I could write them here for you to read!

It is not Hillary's 23rd birthday today! I do not love her bunches and wish her a wonderful day filled with laughter and tasty food!!!

Great Friends Forever

It has been so long since I've seen a picture of Hillary and her favorite who happens to also be one of my favorites too. Here they are gazing into each others eyes like they always do.

Good news!

Hey ya'll. Ha, that's funny. I'm totally not from the South. Anyway, Tyler told me tonight he's not leaving for Pendleton on Tuesday with all the other guys. He is now on light duty which is basically sitting doing nothing all day. He is scheduled for an MRI on his knee and his back, both of which have been really hurting lately. His back has always been an issue but his knee is a new injury within the last few months. I know, I said there was good news and there still is! You ready?

Tyler is NOT going to Iraq!!!

Ok so i spoiled it. I'm sure you saw it before you even read through but it's just too exciting not to put in bold and really large lettering!!!!!!

I'm so glad that Tyler will be here for me and the kids and he'll get to see Kayley start Kindergarten. I'm just a little confused about God's plan here. There is a small possibility that they will just put Tyler back to Reserve and he'll have to find a job again. There is also a chance he'll get to stay and do office work or recruiters assistance. Hopefully we'll know soon, within the next week or so. So if you read this and think of me later please pray for God's will in this and that there would be no anxiety in me or Tyler while we wait. Thanks guys!

Wordless Wednesday

Not Me! Monday

MckMama is the author of the blog above that I follow and the Not Me! Monday creator. Go to her blog and check it out! I thought it would be fun to try so here I go!

I am not attempting Not Me! Mondays for the very first time. I am perfect so there would be no reason whatsoever for me to tell you all about the things I don't do!

I did not bite into a piece of chocolate and crack my tooth in two places this week. I never eat chocolate, especially in the morning before church. So no, I most definitely did not crack my tooth.

I did not throw a dirty (poopy) diaper on the middle of the driveway while I ran into the house to get something for Tyler before work. I did not forget to pick it up before he left and Katie's mom did not call me to let me know that there was a diaper smashed on my driveway, poo poo tire tracks and all. Nope, I'm never that absent minded!

When I asked Kayley if she wanted her nails painted, she did not forget that I bought No Bite top coat to help her stop biting her nails. I did not tell her that the more I put on over the blue coat the more shiny her nails would be. And it did not work! She does not, to this very hour, still have her blue nail polish on her fingers! Hallelujah!

I would never tell my son that if he let me clip his toe and finger nails that I would paint his two big toenails. He did not leave the bathroom giggling with two sparkly toes. I would never do anything to reduce my sons masculinity.

Before Tyler and I went for a walk this morning we did not swing by McDonald's first to pick up iced coffees. I did not take a big bite out of Cole's hash brown (and then wash it down with a swig of coffee) on our way from the car to the walking park to sweat off those pounds! I don't even like hash browns, nor would I feed those greasy things to my own children.

I did not finally convice my husband, after five years of marriage, to wear a collared, button up shirt for Thanksgiving. When he asked me if he could take it off forty-five minutes into our family gathering, I did not say "yes" with a feeling of accomplishment that he wore it for even that stretch of time.

I am definately not enjoying my crazy life as a wife and a mother of two and I will not have any other stories to tell come next Not Me! Monday!
