Not Me! Monday

Is it already Monday again!?

My blog carnival, Not Me! Monday, has given me something fun to look forward to on the first day of each week...sharing my imperfections while pretending I actually am perfect...and checking out all of your blogs as you do the same. Because, seriously, none of us are perfect, so we may as well revel in our imperfections while amongst good company!

I am very humble and this week I am not boasting that I went over to the Riggs' blog and signed up to be in Serious.Life Magazine's featured blog directory and, in the process, submitted this post of mine and you can bet it was not chosen to be published in this month's edition of the magazine! Along with, ahem, a few of my photographs as well. And I was not pumped when I saw that, as a gift to me, Brent chose to put in a huge ad for String of Pearls because he knows I just love Laura and her organization.

I was not totally tickled pink when, upon returning from our cruise, I discovered just before bathtime one night that Small Fry's hair is now long enough for two tiny braids! And I certainly don't intend on making good on this discovery many more times in the days ahead.



This week, when MckMuffin shot a dandy blowout into his diaper and beyond, I did not resort to cutting the fatally soiled onesie off him with a scissors so that I didn't have to take the time to undress him completely. He was wearing two shirts and a sweater after all, but even I was not that unwilling to put our baby through another outfit change and would never have resorted to cutting the ever loving onesie right off him instead. That would be ridiculous.

Also, I am totally not hijacking my own blog to tell you that Claire's Super Huge Raffle has been extended and now there is the potential for two Canon Rebel prize packs to be given away, so head over there asap to win yourself a camera and goodies as well as support Claire's adoption!

When cleaning up toys on the living room floor in a manic fashion late last night, I most certainly not come across a grape on the floor and just toss it into the toy bin as well because I really didn't give a rip at that point. Nope, not me!

During some of MckMuffin's fussy times this past week, I never once contemplated what would happen if I put a teeny bit of Nutella on the end of his pacifier.

When MckNugget spilled his milk the other day and began to cry, I didn't tell him "There's no use crying over spilled milk, Sweetheart," and then struggle to breathe for the next few seconds because I was laughing so hard at how funny I thought I was while our MSC just looked at me like I had lost my marbles and wondered why I didn't start sopping up the milk, or at least MckNugget's tears, with a towel. I didn't proceed, instead, to grab my camera so I could capture the miniature meltdown. Not me! That would be just cruel.



There is also absolutely no way in the world I'd ever admit that one of the very first things Big Mac said to me, within the first 5 minutes of being home again after our cruise, was "Mama! Your tummy is so big!" That did not happen and, even if it did, I would never tell Big Mac about how I ate too much on our cruise and I'd certainly never then admit that to all of you! Not me!

But, all kidding aside, I actually am perfect and I cloth diaper our babies every single day. I certainly am not lazy at all and you won't catch me admitting that I've been choosing disposables more often than not these days. I also never let our stash of size 6 disposables run completely out and am then forced with the decision to use cloth or a makeshift diaper. And I certainly did not choose a makeshift diaper for Small Fry yesterday, fashioned from two size 1 diapers, since there were no bigger disposables in the house. Nope. And I'm also certainly not doing the same thing today since I still haven't made it to Target. Not me!! I am the epitome of the perfect cloth diapering mama and don't ever let anyone tell you differently!!



What about you? Won't you play along this week, too?

And, for real, you guys have proven that you have the Not Me! Monday thing down pat so I am not going to bombard you with rules any more!!
