not me monday

a few things me and the fam DID NOT do this week...

i DID NOT feed b and jk octopus cereal (generic marshmallow cereal) for dinner on wednesday night for dinner bc they asked and i was NOT too tired to even argue.

sofie DID NOT learn to say "uh oh" this week...and we DID NOT continue to drop things to get her to say it so we could laugh.

i DID NOT get a package full of delightfully fabulous dolls that shellie generously made my girlies {all 4 btw} out of the kindness of her heart.  she DID NOT personalize each doll for each girlie...and my girlies were NOT oozing with joy!

i DID NOT have the following conversation with b in the car:
b: mom, i want to go and spend the night with molly when school is over.
me: yes, that's a really great idea. it's hard when school is in session to do that, huh?
b: for the love of pete, mom...i said AFTER school was over. were you listening at all?

i DID NOT get a note from b's teacher on monday after spring break saying that they heard all about our trip and the dogs we met and how amazing it was that we rode dolphins at our beach house! she DID NOT say that we bridled wild dolphins and rode them with the help of trainers from the area.

ryan DID NOT spend only 18 hours at home after our vacation to fly overseas to rennes, france...which was NOT hard for all of us since we had NOT been together every second of every day for almost 2 weeks.

i DID NOT almost break down in tears on p's 14th bday...but resisted and instead, i DID NOT buy her 4 chocolate bon bons and 2 homemade caramels. she DID NOT squeal in delight and bite right in!

i DID NOT buy 2 cell phones on ebay this last week bc our cell phones bit the dust...and activating them was NOT the first thing that p asked r to do when he returned home from france.jada DID NOT pray in her bed time prayers, "thank you god for mommy and daddy. they love me even when i am bad." and i DID NOT get all teary thinking she understands...finally.

paige DID NOT drop her brand stinking new lotus in the TOILET at kroger on sunday night...she DID NOT almost have a panic attack and freak that she broke the phone.  ryan DID NOT take the phone apart and save the day...fixing the eu de toilet water and pee soaked phone only a few hours later.  he is def NOT a hero.

thanks to mck mama for her invention of not me monday...so head on over to her place...say a prayer for them and join in the fun.
