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.

What better day to get all the stuff off your chest that you DID NOT do this week!!!

so without further ado…

I did NOT let my 4 yr old try on her dance outfit for her recital in MAY and proceed to take, oh a bazillion pictures cause she loves to pose…

and I did NOT get all excited on Wednesday night to see Angie because I knew that the very next morning she’d be having a baby!
and because of this I did NOT rub her cute little baby belly anytime I could because I wouldn’t get to after this night

Wednesday night we did NOT stay out incredibly late at Will and Angie’s because there was NOT a second tornado warning for the evening as we were driving up to their house to drop Angie off… nah we go to bed ON TIME!

Wednesday night I did NOT stay up til 2 am doing laundry so my husband could have clean khaki pants and then get up at 5 am to get everyone ready for the day on Thursday!

Thursday morning I did NOT send my 4 yr old to work with daddy so that Elijah and I could spend the morning at the hospital with Will and Angie awaiting the much anticipated arrival of Molly!

I did NOT go get her at lunch and then proceed to go BACK to the hospital so Kyley could meet her

I also would NEVER put my sleeping baby in the little bassinet that Molly is supposed to sleep in so that I could love on her a few minutes.

and I did NOT get all giddy when Angie said I could dress her up and take pictures of her!!! and these are NOT a few of those pictures She was about 8 hours old!

Friday after Celebrate Recovery, I did NOT with the help of my bestest best friend take some of the girls to see Angie and Molly at the hospital
While we were there, I did not simply LOVE that Elijah gave her a kiss (she was yawning, not crying)

and I did NOT just adore this photo…

and I did NOT also ask Angie to take a pic with us since she’d JUST had a baby… who really wants to be on camera after that? I wouldn’t be that rude would I? nah not me!

(doesn’t she look great though?)

On the way home from the hospital I did NOT stop at Sonic for a slush and cheesesticks while chatting with Brittani….

and while we were NOT there, the car did NOT stop working and wouldn’t crank.

I did NOT proceed to call Abigail and ask her to come pick up me, Brittani, and both of my kids (with carseats) and drive us home in her tiny little car. nahhhhh not me!

and I did NOT call the tow truck and have them tow my truck home at almost midnight that night!

I did NOT have my brother fix the problem and give the truck a tune up and oil change the next day and then RUSH him to finish when we were late for a birthday party!!!

at said party the kids did NOT have so much fun because it was NOT at gymboree!

I did NOT take mostly pictures of Elijah because he was sitting still and all the pictures of Kyley I got were NOT blurry because she was moving so incredibly fast because she was having so much fun.

and I did NOT just fall in LOVE with this photo…

Molly Eulogia Elizabeth Rus was born yesterday (Feb 19,2009) at 8:15 am

She weighed in at 6 lb 10 oz and is 18 3/4 inches long

she’s adorable and looks just like a mini version of her big brother when he was born yay!!!!!

We love you Molly!

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.

I so did NOT get all excited about Valentine’s day that I was wanting to give everyone their gifts way back early in the week, but I refrained

I most certainly did NOT enjoy every minute of getting to buy lunch for my MIL and BIL and my bestest friend on Sunday. That rarely happens and I love being able to bless them!

I also did NOT teach a lesson Friday night with only an illustration to go from. God works like that sometimes

I also did NOT love the sermon sunday morning because God gave me another lesson from it LOL Don’t worry I will NOT be blogging about it later!!!!

I did NOT almost have a meltdown last night after seeing Mckmama’s valentine wedding photos because I do NOT have to shoot a wedding in 4 months and I’m NOT already stressing out about not being good enough. *sigh*

However I am NOT also so excited about this wedding because we do NOT already have rooms booked that are NOT at a resort that is also NOT on the beach!!!!!!!!! yay!!!

And because this said wedding that I am NOT shooting is just a hop skip and a jump away from some of our awesome friends, Carl and Jennifer, we will NOT be going to visit them that weekend as well!!!!!!!!! yay!!!!!!!

I did NOT plan to make a draft of this post earlier in the week so I wouldn’t forget not me’s and I did NOT forget to write said draft and I did NOT forget half of the things I thought were hilarious to write on here… oh well… not me!!!

And lastly…. I did NOT find out last night that Laura and Adam are most likely coming in JULY and I did NOT get all excited and already start making plans, that would be crazy of me!!!!

But he also loves to snuggle with his daddy

and my sweet girl She thinks she’s grown now, and she likes to make her own lunch
This is her and her first peanut butter sandwich she made

The day before this, Derek was home from work and apparently she made her own sandwich without him knowing, it consisted of bread, mayo, and pickles… what a lunch huh?

I love this day of the week, I love a free therapy session! Time to spill all the things I did NOT do ! yay!!!!

I most certainly did NOT sleep most of the week and let my sweet sweet husband take care of the kids while he was home because I have the most awful case of pink eye and a sinus infection… NOT ME!

I did NOT care less that the house was trashed and the kids ate whatever they wanted really because I just wanted to sleep… yeah, not me!

I did NOT laugh everytime someone at church wednesday asked me if Derek had beat me haha yeah so not me!

I did NOT seriously enjoy CRY this friday, we had a lot of kids and it was great!

I did NOT just think about coming home Sunday night and pitch a fit about how nasty the house is… even though it’s my fault because I slept all week mostly…. yeah I wouldn’t do that.

I am so NOT posting this a few hours early just so I can go to bed in a few with my darling son who is NOT finally sleeping alone for the first time all week and I just wanna go snuggle with him withOUT being used as a human pacifier

So here are the things I did NOT do!!!

I have NOT played Halo 3 with my husband just to get him to leave me alone about it, and I did NOT get frustrated within just a few minutes of doing so. I also did NOT continue playing just because I knew it would mean a lot to him even though I did not enjoy it.

I did NOT pack a dr appt, walmart, gymnastics, the park, picking up my brother from school, dropping my brother off at home, ballet, and cleaning all into one day before my husband got home from work. Crazy!

I did NOT get so excited to see Jennifer online for the first time since they got to FL that I did NOT get all giddy and IM her right away! I did NOT miss chatting with her so badly the whole day she was without internet LOL how pathetic would that be?

I did NOT tell one of my good friends tonight, who came to town this week to visit her family (and ME ) that, I’d be glad when she went home because then we could chat on facebook. Nah not me…
Of course if I did say something like this Michelle would totally get it though and laugh with me

I also did NOT cook the most amazing pork tenderloin this week, and I do NOT want to hurry to the store to buy some more so I can make more and more and more

I so did NOT get all frustrated over losing a papi while I was nursing Elijah and wanting to put him down for a nap, wake him up to go get a papi from the other room, only to later find that I did NOT have a brand new box with two papi’s in it sitting on my desk, that’s NOT been there for a long time now and I did NOT forget it was there!

I did NOT eat spaghetti sauce for dinner one night this week because I did NOT make grilled cheese and chicken noodle soup for the rest of the family and I did NOT just not feel in the mood for that.

I did NOT freak out over stupid facebook photo uploader not working this week… no that’d be silly of me to get upset about such a small thing!

I have NOT stalked Mckmama’s blog all week just to see her amazing pictures from her cruise… NOT ME!!!!

I also seriously did NOT walk into CR Friday night expecting to see Carl and Jen… what was I NOT thinking???

I did NOT take my 4 yr old ice skating with our childrens church, only to not let her ice skate… what a horrible mom would that be?

I also did NOT skip out on TWO superbowl parties Sunday because, I just don’t care about it … yeah NOT ME!

Kyley: Mommy, can you see me through the line?
Me: What are you talking about?
Kyley: can you see me through the line, you know the cricket?
Me: WHAT????
Kyley: (getting excited) Can you see me through the cricket!? You know, the line thingy that’s a cricket?
Me: Kyley I’m lost dear, what are you talking about?
Kyley: I want to know if you can see me through the cricket, you know the line… Mommy crickets are green
Me: Yes, Kyley, crickets are green. But what do you mean can I see you through it?
Kyley: MOMMMMMY, you know the cricket by the door, the line thing…. you can see through it!
Me: OH! You mean the CRACK?????
Kyley: YES MOMMY CAN YOU SEE ME THROUGH THE CRACK, ITS GREEN!
(the stalls were green)

OY VEY!
