Not Me Monday!

 

This fun little blog carnival was inspired by MckMama! You can see all the other fun things we are ahem not doing by visiting her blog!

Hmm now lets think this out, I didn't not hear my youngest say Cr&p several times on Friday and secretly laugh to myself after I figured out what he was saying.  I also didn't think to myself that if that was the worst he picked up from my potty mouth I am doing pretty good.

I was also not the least bit happy when my washer broke on Thursday.  I have not been counting down the days until it would pass so that I could get a new front load washer and dryer.  I didn't not secretly hope it would break even sooner.  I would never hope to spend money or for appliance to perish.

I also did not eat 2 cupcakes on Friday and indulge in the extra batter that was left when I made them and allow my boys to indulge also.  I would never ever give them raw batter with eggs in it, nope not me!

Mother's Day

Well today was Mother's Day, and while I had a great time spending the day with my boys, I realized that no matter how hard I try I tend to get aggravated with my boys. Then I think that I have friends who no matter what they have tried can't get pregnant, or worse have lost babies.

The thought of not having my boys is terrifying for me, I look at women I know who have lost babies at birth, and I can't imagine how I would survive that. I have always thought of myself as a strong person, but when I think of my friends who have had great loss in their life, and I realize that I am not that strong.

So I have decided I need to work on my patience, my faith, and my heart. I need to learn to appreciate my kids and my husband, and my family. I need to learn to be strong. So that is my Mother's Day wish for me, yes it is selfish but it is what I need!

Happy Mother's Day to all us moms out there, whether we are holding our babies, holding out hope, or holding on to memories. May your day be blessed!

Bad Blogger of the Year Award

So I am officially a bad blogger.  I can't believe it has be over 2 months since I last posted.  Sad to say not much in my neck of the woods has changed.  The boys are getting bigger I swear by the minute and at any moment I am afraid J will officially be able to climb out of the crib, I had hoped we would make it till 2 in the crib but no such luck I am afraid.  R started T-Ball about a month ago and his first game was last Friday night, I hope to post some pictures tonight.  It was so cute.  He has another game tomorrow and is excited.  It is nice to see him excited about a sport.

I am also contemplating putting the boys in the same room, that would leave our 3rd bedroom for guest/office/playroom.  It will be quite an undertaking but one I really want to make as I am tired of all the toys and the computer in the living room plus it will be nice if we have guest if they don't have to sleep in the living room.  We shall see.

Let's see what else is going on, Oh there is a very important giveaway going on on MckMama's Blog right now, if you are wanting to both do something wonderful and maybe win and IPad please check it out.  On here last IPad giveaway she raised 30,000 for Compassion Ministries.  If you aren't familiar with Compassion Ministries please check out their site.  They are a great program that helps children around the world.

Well that is about it for me right now.  Like I said I hope to post some pics of the boys tonight so stay tuned!

Not Me Monday!

Hmmm, I do love Not Me Mondays. It is a blog carnival developed by MckMama a wonderfully inspiring lady. You can check out her blog at MckMama and see what her and a bunch of other very lovely ladies are not doing....

So lets see what did I not do this week. I certainly did not eat dessert at 3 dinners this week, I would never do that. I also did not lick the brownie batter bowl after telling my kids they couldn't since there was raw eggs in it. Nope not me.

I also did not witness my youngest picking his nose for what seems to be the 1000th time this week and just ignore the fact he was eating what he found, I am not completely grossed out by boogers and wouldn't allow him to do this.

I also did not miss my cousin getting her trophy at her dance recital this weekend, because I could no longer stand being climbed on by a almost 2 year old. I would never miss such a good thing for her. Nope not me.

I'm sure there are many other things I didn't do, but I must now do some other things!

Not Me Monday!!

Welcome to Not Me Monday, a blog fun fest created by MckMama, as a way to feel better about the things we "haven't done". Click here to hop over to MckMama's blog to see what she and a great group of ladies that follow her have not been doing!

Well I most certainly didn't spend my entire Valentine's day being super lazy yesterday, I have tons of work around the house that needs to be done and would never just blow off an entire day!

I also did not buy my kids Valentine's Day candy with them. I would never not suprise them with what goodies they were getting, nope not me! I also did not tell R that even though he knew what he was getting for Valentine's Day that he couldn't have it until then. That would just be cruel.

I also did not rewash the same load of laundry 3 times because I was entirely to lazy to actually fold the towels in the dryer, and when I finally washed the for the 3rd time, I did not just throw said towels on the floor of the laundry room instead of folding and putting them away. Nope not me!

I'm sure I could go on and on, but I will sign off now so you can go enjoy some other not me's! But I will leave you with a cute picture of my boys just for fun!

Not Me Monday!

Not Me Monday, my favorite thing about Monday's and lets face it Mondays are not my favorite anything. This lovely little idea was created by MckMama , as a way for us to share what we are definitely not doing!

So I did not force my children to put on their match Colts Jerseys and get probably 50 pictures taken yesterday so I could get the perfect shot for our Christmas cards, I have not waited this long because we have a beautiful Bradford Pear tree and because of the unseasonably warm weather the leaves are just now turning and I wanted said pictures under our tree with red leaves not green and not yellow!

I also did not make sure that both my kids we asleep last night before 8:20 pm when the Colts game kicked off. I would never wish for quiet during a game and never would want R to miss watching a game that he loves so much.

I also did not get yelled at by my loving husband for yelling and cursing at the TV during said game and certainly did not get the evil eye from my dog for interrupting her precious sleep. I am a lady and would never take anything as silly and the Colts game silly.

I also would never never never call the Colts vs Pats game silly, it is like the most important game of the year! Well that is true. For me that is the best game to watch! Peyton vs Brady. Peyton takes it every time.

I also did not send mean (only teasing) texts to my sister last night down in Florida who was watching the Colts game at a sports bar down there because she is down their working till after Thanksgiving and I wanted her to not be alone!

Well I most get my bootie to work, as I have played long enough!

Happy Birthday Stellan

The sweet boy I introduced some of you to yesterday is celebrating his first birthday today. No little one should have to celebrate such a momentous occasion in the hospital. He is still in need of many prayers. So please pray for this little man. You can read his story and meet his amazing and strong mother at MckMama.

Thanks for the prayers and Happy Birthday Stellan!
