Not Me! Monday

Hello and Happy Monday everyone! Guess what decided to break again?? My coffee pot!! And I thought, well, I'll just make a cappuccino with John's espresso machine... He. Only. Bought. Decaf. WHAT?!!? Who does that? Anyway, I thought I'd share a good Not Me! Monday... because, well, you deserve to laugh at me. As always, Thanks to MckMama for her Not Me! Monday posts!

Upon giving up dairy for my sweet little Claire, I certainly DID NOT inform John that I couldn't eat a hamburger because it came from a cow. In case you're not following correctly, I ACTUALLY made the remark that a cow is part of a dairy product, not just that it produces the dairy. Whoops.

One of my best friends, Brooke, brought by a birthday present for me on Saturday, and up until this morning, I certainly DID NOT think it was a purse, when in fact, it was a flat iron holder. Umm... am I even allowed in Banana Republic anymore? I think not. I will not let you revoke my fashion police license.

One evening last week, I heard a great crash from Addison and Claire's bathroom and rushed to see that their light was missing over their toilet. Where did it go, you might ask? Well, it apparently had fallen into their toilet. And shattered. Everywhere. And it certainly is still NOT there, because we have YET to clean it up.

This weekend, John was watching Spiderman and Addison watched a little bit of it, looked at me, and said, "Where is my Spiderman dress??" Umm... what? We don't OWN anything Spiderman. Except for the two movies and some Band-Aids. And when told to go clean up her room, she certainly did not ask me, " Where is my Super Suit?" You know, from The Incredibles.

I certainly DID NOT do this to my daughters hair numerous times this week. It took 20 minutes to blow dry and flat-iron and she hated it because he bangs kept getting in her eyes.


Have a great week!

Not Me Monday-Stellan Style

I don't know if any of you have kept up with MckMama and her baby Stellan, but he is not doing well. He has been in the PICU for a week now with SVT's(Supra Ventricular Tachycardia) and they cannot break him out for extended periods of time. I think the most that he has had a normal sinus rythym is about 45 minutes. So, since MckMama is the founder of Not Me! Monday, a bunch of the readers have decided to do their Not Me! Monday posts in honor of Baby Stellan.

I certainly have not spent an entire week praying for baby Stellan. My heart has not hurt every time she posts about how well is not doing. I have not applauded her faith in God and how calm and in control she seems to be most of the time. I also have not held both of my baby girls and prayed with them over baby Stellan and thanked God for their health. Most of all, I did not tear up when I got the news that one of my best friends was FINALLY bringing her baby boy into the world last night, while another internet friend was fighting for the life of hers. And last of all, my husband certainly did not quote her latest blog and I looked at him and asked where he had heard that, and his reply was, "Baby Stellan, of course!".

MckMama, we are praying for your family. I do not have any answers or much advice, but, we are praying.

Not Me! Monday

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.

Happy Monday, everyone!! Let's start the week off with right with a Not Me! Monday. As you know, we went to South Carolina this week, therefore, most of my mommy mishaps involve our trip.

I certainly did not get asked by the guy running the x-ray machine at the Birmingham airport what my breast pump was and he certainly did not look thoroughly disgusted! And I would never pump breast milk on an airplane while waiting to taxi down the runway. NOT ME! Also, the man across the aisle did not stare at me the whole time, either. Sunday night, I certainly did not pump breast milk while driving down the interstate.( Are we seeing a pattern with my Not Me! Monday?)

Anyway, I hope everyone has a great Monday!

Not Me! Monday

First off,  I would like to talk about The Oscars. Hugh. Jackman. Did. The. BEST. Opening. Act. EVER!! I actually enjoyed the Oscars this year. Not because I actually saw any of the movies or heard of them, but because it was entertaining and not drab. Was Beyonce lipsyncing? Honestly, that was BAD! And Daniel Craig, I know you might be James Bond and all, and you are quite the piece of eye candy, but you are not one with the telePrompter. Were you mad to be at the Oscars? Or do you just not have a personality? You might want to work on that, though. That's all I'm sayin'. Of course, we know I am here to talk fashion on the Red Carpet. Didn't you get that memo? The one about me being the fashion police? No? Well, I am. Kate Winslet look fabulous as usual, except for her hair. I'm not sure what was up with that. Halle Berry was beautiful as always. I'm not really sure what was up with Jennifer Anniston's braid, but she looked pretty too. I refuse to talk about Angelina Jolie, except that, I wish she would cover up her tatoos. They make me nauseous. Anne Hathaway always knows how to work a red carpet. But my very favorite was Marissa Tomei(spelling?). Her dress was absolutely gorgeous!!! Her her was fabulous. She looked radiant. Even if she didn't win. Now, some bad ones that stick out in my mind are Sophia Loren and Jessica Biel. Sophia, I loved the belt thing going on, but fringe? On your sleeves? No Thanks. Mark that down as a don't. Jessica, it looked like you had a paper sack as a top. Not a good look. 

Anyway, I am taking a note from Sarah and going to do a Not Me! Monday. These things certainly did not take place in my household this week.

1. I certainly did not fight my 2 year old daughter over her princess trash can on Wednesday when John and I were deathly ill. Not Me!

2. And I certainly did not fight John over going to the doctor because we couldn't stop throwing up and I did not vomit in the doctor's office while she was taking my blood pressure. Not Me!

3. I have NEVER uttered the phrase, "Addison, please stop straddling Trixie, she is a dog, not a horse." Not Me!

4. I did not strap Claire in her carseat and drive around for 30 minutes before a shower on Saturday so she would fall asleep. Not Me!

5. And last, but not least, I did not ask Addison, "Please don't put Cinderella in the microwave, I don't think she will appreciate it." Not ME!!

Have a good Monday, y'all.
