"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.

It has been ages since I did a not me Monday. But I thought it would be better than what I had planned.

Because I certainly did not spend all morning writing a blog post ranting about CDD's father. I am not guilty of even trashing my own child in this blog post. Nope! I did not do that. I did not throw a fit when Catcherdude loaned FIL the money to bail his ass out of trouble yet again, even though we haven't heard from him in over 6 months. No! I was perfectly fine CD handing over $500 to the man who wanted him dead. Yeah! Not Me!

I also did not spend all of yesterday cleaning up and doing everyone's laundry but CDD's, because he yet again left them where they are not to be. Nope Not Me! No, I wouldn't leave him with no clean clothes for work this week. Forcing him to be up now doing his laundry. *smile*

I am not dragging my feet to get CD back to TKD because I have liked sitting around and not playing chauffeur. Nope! Not Me!

Thursday I did not have my hair cut and changed the color. Nope! Not Me! So as that no one noticed. That is how much people pay attention in this house.

Also, I am certainly not jumping for joy that I do not have to drive CDD the next 2 weeks to his ride. No I really enjoy chauffeuring him along with kid day in and day out. Nope! Not Me! Or the fact I am not sitting here counting the minutes until he walks out the door and I have the whole house to myself for the next 5 hours.

Lastly I did not drop the ball on the 120 mile challenge in 3 months. Nope! Not Me!. I did not do this.

*sigh*

Weekend Catch Up .. Not Me! Monday!

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog.

The MckFamily was given really awesome news today. After 5+ weeks Stellan and her are heading back home. This is the best news.

So my post today will be done in Not Me! Monday Form.

This weekend was yet another busy one around Catcher dudes house. CDD decided he would pick up the extra overtime he normally turns down. So instead of being home Friday & Saturday, I was left to pick up the slack around here by myself. But I certainly did not drop the ball on all sorts of things. Nope! Not Me!

Catcher dudes birthday is just around the corner and he wanted a new bat for his birthday. So I did not spend from Thursday - Saturday googling bats, running from store to store all over town, THEN taking Catcher Dude from store to store. Picking out one bat .. and then deciding on another. Nope! Not Me! I certainly did not spend more on that bat than my truck payment. Nope! Why would I do something like that? (Reminds me of this post)

Then Saturday evening rolled around and though we are heading back out of town and the house is upside down and laundry and packing need to be started I didn't leave that all behind to go with CCD & Catcherdude to park to watch him use his new bat. Nope! Didn't happen that way. I didn't lash out about the cost of said bat when it (and it's owner) preformed HORRIBLE!! Making me wish I had just waited for dad dude to do all the baseball bat hunting. Nope! I wasn't secretly wishing there was a way to return a used bat. I was NOT plotting how this could be done.

Then Sunday rolled in and it was double header day. The weather was wonderful. It thought definitely was not so windy I was eating dirt stuck in my gum, and having to remove one of my contacts and place in CDD sunglasse case. Nope! That wasn't me.

The first game the boys struggled. With a lost of 10-3. Catcherdude's first @ bat .. oh lordy!! He "K". Then I really wasn't cursing and thinking, "Dump that POS bat!" Nah! I wouldn't do or say something to make Catcherdude feel horrible about his choice. (I later felt really bad about this) He did have 3 more AB. Which is good. Never see 4 AB in a game. He did have better AB after the first one. He got 2 1B, 2 stolen bases, and 1 R. So pretty good.

Second game they came out victorious. Winning 13-9. This time CD doubled, 1 SB, and 2 BB. So maybe the bat will be earning it's keep. We will see what magic it will bring lil man CD this weekend on his out-of-town tourney.

Now I am:

* Not procrastinating and not getting things all ready to go.
* I am not behind.
* I have finished shopping for CD's Birthday (that we are celebrating while gone)
* I have ordered the cookies for said birthday for team.
* I am not sitting here trying to think of more items just so I don't have to go load dishes and unload and reload laundry ....

Nope! Not Me!

Oh last item then I will have to move it .. move it ...

Catchers white jersey .. the numbers bled all over it and I tried and tried to get it out. I took it back to the store where the team ordered and received them. At first they were going to replace it. Then they called earlier and said it was "laundry error" and are charging me the $60 to replace it. I am totally Peeed Off about this.

Laundry Error my as- butt! I wash that in cold water. No colors. I know how to wash a dam- darn JERSEY!! I first agreed to it. But after talking to listening to CDD yell and fuss about how in the last year we have spent over $700 in that store on bats alone, not counting uniforms, batting helmets, gloves, etc .. and we just will take the bled white jersey and will think twice before stepping foot back in their store.

Now as a mom I have mixed emotions about this. I hate to think of him having to wear the awful mess of a jersey. But I see CDD's point too. *sigh* I am not sure what I will do. He told me to call her back in the a.m. I just don't know what to do.

Well All my chores are calling and I just remembered it is Medium night.

Night!!

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.

Good Morning Monday! I am not ready to embrace you! It has been a fast and furious weekend as always! But I am not complaining. Actually we (kid and I) have a 3-day weekend, so not bad!! Today is another action packed day. There will be TKD in the morning. There will be taking dad dude to catch his ride. There will be pitching lessons. There will be laundry, cleaning, and all sorts of household chores. So yeah! A day without dullness for sure.

So on to our my part of Monday. Not Me! Monday!

I did not let catcher dude eat pizza for breakfast yesterday morning before he left for Catcher Camp, because he told me the carbs would be better for him than the eggs I wanted to make. Nope, nadda, not I!!

Today is my last dentist appointment. I did not cancel it so I could take Catcher Dude to the morning session of TKD.

I will not be in hiding when the parents in Catcher Dudes TKD class discover he got one belt last week, and will receive his next belt this week. [I still in awe of him. He is doing so well.] Nope! Not Me!

Catcher Dude's school is not on my last nerve. Which so I am not making excuse after excuse to not volunteer my time. Nope! Not me! I just love being up there.

I am not trying to think of more things for this list, which ignoring the fact I told Catcher Dude I would be right there ...

10 minutes ago. Nope! Not me! I always come running when my child needs/wants me.


Well another fun Not Me! Monday!

Now I am off to help Catcher Dude workout and do massive amounts of laundry for Catcher dude .. because he always gives me his clothes to wash when I ask, so he does not have an over flow today .. No! Not him!!

Happy Monday!!

"Not Me!" Monday

It is "Not Me!" Monday and I am following MckMama's lead and posting the things I DID NOT DO this week.





I most certainly did not smile and think to myself, "Yeah! About time justice was served." When I heard Chipmunk dude got 10 days.

I did not curse up and down when my favorite sun glasses went missing this past week. So then absolutely did not just go rush over to Another Online Mom blog when I learned she was giving away a pair. Nope! Not Me!!

I certainly did not wake up this morning with a temp and a sore throat. Nope! I am not having that!! So it is all in my head and I am certainly able to continue on with my day. I will not spend most of my day pouting and laying in bed.

I did not keep checking my email to find out when my order from Gary's Pottery will possible be coming. No! I am much more patient then that.

Also I most certainly didn't get all green eye'd monster when I read and saw Farmer*s Wife's anniversary present. I certainly am still happy to drive my cute lil suv.


Happy "Not Me!" Monday!!

Actually either I have blocked out most of last week, or I had a good week. I really have not much to share.

I did not lose it and tell catcher dude I will not be supporting his horrible habit from here on out. That his baseball days are finished. I would not do that. Are you kidding me?

School certainly DID NOT give us a heads up about important testing THE DAY OF. No! They would not do that. They certainly are better organized than that. So I certainly DID NOT tell the 8th grade Principal that his communication skills sucked lacked that of a professional. That I certainly would NOT be calling the district to let them know what a great horrible job not only his floor but all 3 grade level floors were doing.

Friday during my time up at the middle school, I did not once feel like slapping the shit stuffings out of the entire 8th grade class. No. No Me! I am not sure what barn most of these children crawled out of Friday, but they had better crawled back in this weekend and different, more well behaved children came back out. Some peoples children! I swear!

I once again did not hide the fact I once again ate Catcher Dudes food. I mean come on? Why leave it out like that? Why tempt the gods? Come on? I am a good mommy and certainly would not eat his food.

~*~* HAPPY COLD, COLD, SNOWY, MONDAY ~*~*

I am a little late today. Been a busy day with no school. I am going to have to start making a draft post during the week so I can remember what I SO DID NOT DO. I will do better next week. :)

I did not secretly jump up and down when CDD told me his mother called yet again and he would not be returning her call. No, I would not do that. I SO DO NOT still hold a grudge from the first years of our marriage about her. Nope. Not me.

When the bully came walking past me up at the middle school I DID NOT push the cart in his walk way and then act liked I didn't see him coming. Oops! Sorry!

I also did not serve those peanut butter crackers and snack bars on Friday, that have been been on the news to avoid as there is a risk of salmonella contamination. Oh no! We certainly DO NOT have those on the middle school snack cart.

Then when the kid wanted Tacos from a local chain here, they certainly DID NOT mess the order up for the 200,000 time. How hard is it to minus the lettuce? So I absolutely DID NOT get on the phone and yell at them as I was already on the hwy to pick up a sick husband and then to baseball, and had no time to turn around.

Then I DID NOT stop at a different store of same chain claiming they were the ones that messed up getting 6 corrected tacos from them. No! I would not do that. Because Catcher Dude had a baseball clinic and had to eat before hand as he had not eaten all day.

But then after making it back to our city and after son's baseball clinic, I DID NOT go back to the original store getting them to replace the 6 tacos. No! Not me. I did not walk away with 20 tacos for the price of 8. Nope I would not do that. Because this chain always gets orders correct, and I have not had my final straw breaking point with them. Nope! Not me!!

Also I did not call Catcherdude sick into school so he will not have to watch all that BS Inauguration Day crap on TV while at school. I certainly told him it was important to go to school, and not cut classes.

"Not Me! Monday"

Since its boring around here, nothing new, nothing exciting, I thought I would try something new. I have been stalking reading My Memory Keepsakes blog she hosted a "Not Me! Monday" last week, which she got from MckMama's blog. I thought what a cute idea when I have nothng around here going on to ramble on about.




So on with "Not Me! Monday" A list of all the things that there is no way I did this week. And if anyone says that they saw me doing any of these things, they are totally lying.

• I did not complain all week about not feeling well.
• I totally did not wear the same pants 3 days in row because my boys would not go do laundry.
• I did not cry & have a fit when I arrived in the kitchen to find all the dishes dirty and piled in floor from DH & DS. NOPE! Not me!!
• I didn't find my teen son watching the neighbor behind us sitting in her family room with no clothes on.
• I didn't spend yet another week lay in bed flipping from one hip to another.
• I did not eat catcher dudes last twinkie
• When asked about eating last twinkie I didn't say, "Nope not me! Must have miss counted".

Well that is all I can think of this moment. That was fun I might be back next week with a new list of things I "didn't" do.
