A couple of weeks ago I read about "Not Me Monday's" on one of Megan's posts. Her post was hilarious by the way. I thought it was a cute idea, but wondered exactly what my "Not Me Monday" might look like. Well, here goes...
I did NOT come up with some crazy idea to take both of the kids to Perkins tonight by myself after gymnastics. And I did NOT watch as Cooper smashed a coffee creamer on the table sending creamer flying everywhere. I did NOT give the kids the choice to order the pancakes with sprinkles and whipped cream (thank God they chose the mac and cheese). I did NOT give Cooper ketchup even though I knew he would just play in it. I definitely did NOT watch as he then smeared the ketchup all over my recently laundered white winter coat. I did NOT have to tear him away from the table in the middle of dinner to take McKenna to the bathroom. (Why when you're five years old do you have to go pee every single time you're out to eat? And why do you have to wait until the food comes to decide you have to go?) And I did NOT inhale my entire meal in record speed so that I could get out of there as quickly as possible.
Whew! What an evening! Earl called on our drive home. Our conversation went something like this:
Earl: Where are you?
Me: On the way home from Perkins.
Earl: You took both the kids to Perkins...by yourself.
Me: Yep.
Earl: That's like....suicide.
It wasn't really that bad...but it certainly did make for a good "Not Me Monday". Thanks Megan for the idea and the laughs! Oh, and one more for good measure...I did NOT find Cooper playing with window clings in the toilet yesterday! Gross, I know.
Hope everyone had a better Monday than me! At least you can have a laugh on me today!

I am just about DYING laughing at that. We should keep this up.
You're a brave woman!
