not MY child Monday

I used to do Not me Monday's but It got a little repetitive. I am a slacker mom. I am busy mom surviving each moment to the next.

As usual, this was created by MckMama, who is fabulous and her blog can be found HERE.

Miss America did not squirt Suntan oil in her brothers hair and I certainly did not bathe him but instead chalked up taking a swim in the pool a sufficient way to bathe him and I did NOT let Miss America sleep in her famous Easter dress and wear it again the next day.

I did not let Miss America have the same hair style for 3 days finally re-doing it just so I did NOT look like a super mom.

I did NOT clean Mr. Know it all's bedroom and during the process I did NOT yell at him 100 times on how piggish he was. I did NOT proceed to haul 5 bags of donations and 4 bags of garbage out.

I did NOT sneak 4 more things into the dump pile when my husband wasn't looking.

My child DID not drink a curdled milk cup and at that time I did NOT remove 5 cups from the bedroom under the mount of toys.

I did NOT pull the van over and reach back to grab a certain little girls leg just to get her attention I was Serious about her whining.

I did NOT lay down on the floor and throw a fit next to the child that was NOT throwing a fit.

I did NOT dump water in a little boys face so he would learn to quit screaming, I did NOT feel bad...then I did NOT give him juice in his bottle.

During one of Mr. Littlesthrowing up episodes I did NOT just clean him up with 100 baby wipes and put him back to bed instead of giving him a real bath

I did NOT look at my children's toe nails and realize it had been FOREVER since I clipped them.

I did NOT forget to feed my dog for 2 days while his caretaker was camping with his dad.

My child did NOT try and plan to sneak out and I did NOT interupt the plans.

Wow, It has been along time since I did a NOT me anything...What did you NOT do???

Adding busy to our life...

Another crazy busy weekend has past. Its all a blur. I try to savor the time but all I remember is how much work it takes to get out the door. Not complaining. I know my kids will savors all the moments for me.

Okay, so I make no excuses for such bad behavior. I try at all times to be a role model for my children. Its rough. I am not perfect ( when people tell you I am just smile and nod, agreed?)



Seriously, I look at every moment as a teaching moment. Just ask my know it all son, he will tell you everything he knows (and it is EVERYTHING) came from a teaching moment.



Here are a few examples



* ALWAYS hold the door open for people, elderly a MUST. Say thank you when the door is held open for you.



* Leave a good tip when service is good.



* write sorry letters when you SCREW up big time.



* write thank yous or personally call the gift giver ( we have missed a few, sorry)



* Let the customer with 3 things go before you in line.



* do EVERYTHING without expecting NOTHING.



* Pregnant women need a special accommodations.



* Open the door for your date and your future wife.



Here i s what we wish we didn't teach them....



Impatient angry driving.....



Yes, I had a not so good teaching moment today. WTH Jack***??? did NOT fly right out of my mouth.

Friends and Fun

Bubbles anyone???

Miss America why are there bubbles in the pool?

Cuz, doctor said I couldn't take bubble baths anymore.

His Life...

Racing is Mikey's passion. He has taken first in Many divisions. He has been racing since he was 4. He raced a few weeks ago for the first time in a year and he came home with a 1st place trophy and a 2nd place trophy. His dream is to go to Motorcycle Mechanics Institute in Arizona when he graduates. He ROCKS!! I have no doubt he will find a career in what he loves as long as we keep him out of the emergency room.

You are AWESOME Mikey!!

He did it. Yep, he beat me. Truthfully, it ticks me off. I hate it. .5 a half of a stinking pound that was 3 days a go. Now 4 pounds separates us. I could hurt him. I am thinking of the all the things I could add to his food to make him gain a few more pounds. When he left for Israel that's when I was scared he would really beat me. I lost 12 pounds when he was gone and thinking oh yeah he can never catch me. WRONG!

I am to proud of him. Down 130 Pounds and he LOOKS HOT. He is so handsome. But, he still beat me. I have one week to pass him. After that I will declare him the WINNER !!! I do have to say dropping 10 pants sizes...he is a winner. LOVE YOU FOREVER ( even if you kicked my A**)

* for those you who didn't read the post about my issues with me weighing more then my husband I am sure you can tell by this post I have issues with it. I couldn't find the original post. Does that surprise you??

well get out.

don't sit and cry. You want out I will get you out. Nope, its a whole lot better to sit and cry.

I am a Model. { Her idea of posing}

really, I think baths are a lot easier with the 2 of them but they LOVE the shower and when ones takes a shower the other must follow. When I take a shower the TWO must follow. Never a dull moment.

think bad thoughts

Here is a conversation with I had with Mikey this morning driving him to Summer school. I should make him walk but I am way to nice.

Me: I better not break down I would have to walk home in my pajamas and with bare feet and no cell phone

Mikey: You won't break down.

Me: Oh, yeah? I started the mini yesterday and it died and the check engine light came on. I have no idea why. Oil, temperature and the other idiot lights never came on.

Mikey: well, lots of people drive around for a very long time with the check engine light on. Not a big deal. You'll be fine.

Me: I don't want to be fine. I want this thing to die.

Mikey: Oh, yeah think negative thoughts and it just might work. Driving ( fill in my dream car here) would be alot better then this bus.

Me: Your happy thoughts just overruled your negative thoughts...the check engine light is off. Lesson 101 your mind can do powerful things. Have a good day at school. I love you.

Mikey: Love you to.
