Another Therapy Session...




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.


Here we go again... a sneak peek into my free therapy session where I get to take all those things that I most certainly did NOT do this week off my chest... and put them on this blog for all of you to get a little chuckle over and maybe even help you to see that you are NOT alone in this crazy thing called motherhood!!!!

Where do I begin...

How about with the brilliant idea I DID NOT HAVE of inviting thirty vibrant, active, life-loving, candy-filled, uncoordinated, thrill-seeking, adventuresome, curious little toddlers over to our cozy home for a little Valentines shin dig... I did NOT have the best time with some of my most absolute favorite friends and in the midst of the joy and laughter eat an absolutely divine cupcake... ok.... TWO divine cupcakes!!!!

See post below for some marvelous party planning tips...

I most certainly did NOT hightail it to my cleaning cabinet after every one left in a mad dash to hide all the evidence of the chaos from my sweet husband... who, truth be told, reaaallly appreciates coming home to a clean house... I did NOT succeed in getting it all done before he came home... And he was NOT so impressed and blessed that he TOTALLY made me and the kids dinner while I got to sit on the couch and rest!!!!!
Who's the man?? My man is!!!!

Moving on... It was NOT my Hal who fell FLAT on her head while we were standing in the check out line in Trader Joes... She would never disobey me (because my kids are perfect and obey my every word :) and continue to goof off with her brother after I so firmly but kindly asked her not to. She would never carry on and on like nobody's business, then suddenly turn off the tears and the drama the moment the check out guy offered her a sticker...

And there were NOT sooooo many tears and drama in our home this week that I was NOT forced to make a new rule for our three small children...
NEW RULE BEING... "It's ok to cry when we are hurt but we are are not allowed to put on a full broadway production over every little bump, scrape, or dispute over whose toy is whose!"
NO THANK YOU!!!

I did NOT catch my three year old son eating the valentines day card that his Las Vegas grandma sent him in the mail last week!! He has NOT always had an obsession with put things in his mouth and he most certainly does not still suck on his blanket every time he goes to sleep... And the worst part of it all is NOT that his blanket stinks like a wet dog and no matter how hard I try I am unable to keep up on washing it enough to get rid of that AWFUL smell!!!

And Finally... The mantra of this blog carnival ( being brutally honest and LIVING to tell about it!) rings oh so true in this final confession of todays therapy session ...
Little 2 year old Hal is convinced that she can wipe her own bum after dropping a bomb and this week I did NOT catch her toooo late and find her in the bathroom with a confused and flustered look on her face... She most certainly did not get poop on her hands and then proceed to get an itch on her nose and then scratch her nose with her poopy hand!!!!!! I know, I know... she can get some serious diseases with this "wiping all by self" dilemma that we are having right now... but these are the dirty details of my life...

So there you go... Thanks for listening...
And feel free to pop on over to McMama's and join in the major blessing of "Not Me! Mondays"

Till next time...
