And then Yesterday, I did NOT climb up into our attic (for the first time in 10 years) looking for some childrens books that I cannot find anywhere.  I also did NOT spend 20 minutes sitting up there with a flashlight reading my old high school diary.  Then, when I decided to get down, I did NOT realize that I couldn’t do it myself because the ladder was too far down for me to reach.  This story does NOT end with me having my husband get on our old rickety 6-foot ladder and climbing up far enough so I could sit on his shoulders while he climbed down.

Normally I would link to My Charming Kids, Not Me Monday, but this morning please be praying for her son, Stellan.

Chris and Anne

We ended up at The Marriott right next to The Arena where New Kids on The Block were in concert.  I did NOT secretly wish I would see Donny or Jordan walking down the halls in our hotel.  I have NOT had a crush on them since middle school.

We did NOT go to a fancy restaurant and spend way too much money.  I did NOT pig out on crab legs, broccoli, pasta stuff that I can’t pronounce (or spell), bread, and half of my husbands’ salad (while he went to the bathroom).  And I certainly did NOT make him stop on the way to the restaurant at Chick Fil A because I was starving and wanted an order of french fries and a coke.  I could NEVER eat that much food!

Anne eating

And finally, after spending a wonderful evening eating and laughing, at SAK Comedy Lab, I did NOT wake up the next morning and search all over our hotel room for anything I could take in order to make our 125.00 night stay easier to digest.  This is NOT a picture of items that are now in my bathroom.

I did take a girls night out while my husband took our daughters to the annual Daddy/Daughter Dance at our church. But while at Chili’s, I did NOT sarcastically make fun of our waiter with my friends. We did NOT laugh about his hair (which looked strangely similar to one of the girls I went out with), his lack of service, or our perception that he would never be able to figure out how to split up our bill. And we definitely did NOT say these things and laugh when he was just around the corner every time. “So you want me to split that up for you, ladies?”

I let my 2-year old wear a pink leopard print jacket to pre-school (also my place of work).  But I did NOT just ignore her decision to be baby jaguar, and I did NOT let her completely act her new role out all the way to my classroom complete with crawling through the parking lot and growling at security guards & teachers who said hi to her.  This new game I found is NOT the perfect game for my little girl.

Here are hundreds of other Not Me Monday posts.

I did NOT leave my daughter on the potty so long (actually only 5 minutes) that she fell asleep, and I definitely did NOT run to get the video camera instead of waking her up to make sure she didn’t fall over. (This is NOT something that Emily has a history of.)

I also did NOT encourage the same little girl to sing country music songs she hears on the radio, and definitely NOT songs that talk about having beer on Friday night (you do NOT have to watch the video of this).

And, I did NOT ruin my ironing board, my iron, and my other daughter’s favorite shirt while trying to melt crayons so I would have a craft to post about on my blog.

I used to be addicted to solitare.  Then it was free cell.  I got over those a year or so ago when Facebook entered my life.  I’m pretty sure that’s where my addition will stop, because the last 2 nights I have NOT gotten onto the laptop after my husband goes to bed.  And I have definitely NOT logged into my daughter’s Webkinz account to play endless games of Smoothy Moves.

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 leave my two year old on the potty for 30 minutes the other day because she refused to go poopy.  She would NOT cry for a little and then start to sing Angels We Have Heard on High at the top of her lungs.  Just to let you all know, she did finally go.I did NOT choose to watch The Office over a romantic Chick Flick for Valentine’s Day.  I am NOT obsessed with it and do NOT watch an episode (or 3) every night after putting the girls to bed. 

On Valentine’s Day I did NOT let my kids eat cake, candy, and chips non-stop from after lunch on.  I did NOT not feed my kids (and husband) dinner even after my 5 year old said, ” I didn’t know we could skip dinner!”  And then I did NOT tell her to eat a few more chips so she wouldn’t be hungry before she went to bed.  I would NEVER do that!

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 tell a friend at my new kickboxing class that I had to leave early in order to give my kids a bath.  Then while walking out I did not see two 60 year old women barely sweating keeping up with the instructor and decide to stay.  I am much more in shaped than them. 

While talking to a friend he mentioned that he had never in 9 years seen the inside of my husband and I’s bedroom.  I did NOT lie to him and tell him it was because our dogs are always in there when people come over.  I do NOT throw all the unfolded laundry, extra toys, and anything else in there before friends come over.

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 have Not stayed up until midnight each night this week playing the wii and trying desperately to beat my husband at bowling.  I have not gotten a little upset when during the day my 5 year old daughter ends up beating me in bowling also.  I am not that competitive!

When my 2 year old asked me what cookies make you, I did NOT tell her fat and then precede to eat 6 of them.  I did NOT tell her she was only allowed to eat 3 (after she watched me inhale mine) because they were not good for her.  I have way more self control than that.

I did NOT make my 5 year old wear a pair of dirty socks to school the other day .  I am NOT that behind on my laundry (because of the wii) .  That would be gross. 

I did NOT just burn the girls’ breakfast for the second time this week because I was trying to blog.  I would NEVER put my blog before them.

~I do NOT pretend I can’t hear my daughter calling me at 2:00 in the morning to tell me she has to go to the bathroom.  And I do not act like I have no idea what my husband is talking about when he asks me about it the next day.

~I did not think about asking my husband to take me to The New Kids on the Block concert for our 10 year anniversary.

~I did not hear my 2 year old say (in a room full of people) “I don’t have to go to the bathroom Mommy.  It was just a poot.”

Go over to My Charming Kids and Not Me Monday to see what others have definitely NOT done this week!
