The boys and I did NOT tag along with Jason on a business trip to Atlanta, GA this week. For some reason, I did NOT think that a week in a hotel with my three {very rambunctious} boys would be more relaxing than a week at home without daddy. I might have been a little wrong!

We did NOT a pretty good time despite all the rambunctiousness.

We did NOT go swimming,

go the movies for free,

go to an Atlanta Braves game,and eat lots of yummy food from

here
{picture from our last visit to Atlanta in 2008} and here!

We also did NOT stop over in Birmingham for a little trip to the zoo while Jason was at a meeting. I did NOT tweet that when we got to the zoo, we increased their wild animal population by three!
I think I was right on that one:)

Not My Kitchen! Monday

After a SUPER long and SUPER busy weekend, there is NO way that my kitchen looks like this:


Well, maybe it does!
Please tell me I'm not the only one who wakes up to a disaster area of a kitchen on Monday mornings!

Not My Child! Monday

This week I am mixing it up a little and doing Not My Child! Monday, a fun little twist on our weekly confessions of all our mommyhood shortcomings and oh-so-embarrassing incidents. This week I get to confess all the NOT so great things that my kids have done.....so go check out My Charming Kids to see all the things everyone else {& maybe their kiddos} has NOT been doing!

Eli does NOT have a love of buckets, NOT specifically buckets on his head. He has NOT been cultivating his love of buckets since September of last year. I do NOT think it is SUPER cute and adorably funny, so I do NOT take pictures of him eveytime I catch him with a bucket on his head!

While on our way out to lunch a few weeks ago, I did NOT let Grant chose where we went to eat. The conversation did NOT go something like this:

Grant: I want to go to the place with the wheelbarrow in its' name.

Me: {totally confused}

Grant: You know the one by Target with the wheelbarrow in its' name.

Me:{ still totally confused}

Grant: That one! {pointing as we pass by Cracker Barrel}

Me: Oh, now I get it:)

******************************** Today is NOT my hubby's 30th birthday. There is NO way that he is turning 30 today, because that means in two short months I will be turning 30 also! I am NOT just a little freaked out about the fact that our 20's are gone...though I know that getting older is better than the alternative:)
I am NOT making a surprise cake for my hubby's birthday using 30 of these:
This will NOT be one of the few times when it will be okay to eat 'birthday cake' for breakfast!

We did NOT decide very last minute to buy a few gallons of paint and repaint our living room. We did NOT have just a few accidents while attempting to repaint the living room. Those accidents did NOT include Jason shaking a not completely closed container of paint and splashing it all over the kitchen. Eli also did NOT do this:

{ with a used paint roller} all over the carport and down the driveway!

What have you NOT been doing this week?

You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week. ******************************** I did NOT super glue the snaps on one of Eli's outfits this week. I was NOT getting aggravated that every time he bent over, the suit came unsnapped. I did NOT decide that it was better to have a a suit that wouldn't unsnap at the crotch, than to not have a suit at all....especially because it is SUPER cute!After I borrowed Jason's super glue to fix Eli's outfit, I did NOT accidentally put the bottle of glue in the drawer without closing the lid tightly. I did NOT figure this out when Jason went to get the grill lighter out of the same drawer, and it was stuck to the bottom of the drawer! There was NOT superglue all over a bunch of Jason's stuff, because it was NOT his junk drawer that the super glue spilled in.

I did NOT bake almost 60 cupcakes last week for Henry's birthday. Jason and I did NOT stay up until almost 11 o'clock decorating those cupcakes to look like campfires so I could take them to Henry's class on Friday. I {really} do NOT think I will be making cupcakes again anytime soon:) I will NOT be posting picture of the SUPER cute campfire cupcakes and the rest of Henry's Camp Out birthday party tomorrow though!

I am NOT going to be gone all day today. I am NOT going on a SUPER fun stinky, smelly, & hot field trip with Henry to a farm. That does NOT mean that my house and my blog are going to be ignored yet again today! Oh well, maybe I will NOT be able to catch up tomorrow.

I did NOT attempt to dumpster dive in someone's yard this week! I have NOT been looking for some old kitchen cabinet doors for the past few weeks, and I did NOT get excited when I saw that a house down the street was remodeling. I would NEVER stop and ask a complete stranger the person that lives there if I might possibly have a few of the doors that they were getting ready to send to the dump. He did NOT say I was just a little too late because they were all on the bottom of the pile covered up with a ton of other junk.

I did NOT let Eli eat a peanut butter cracker that he decorated with his crayons! I did NOT figure that the lovely Crayola crayons that he used were non-toxic, so it wasn't going to hurt him:) I always make sure that my children only eat healthy, nutritious, and edible things!

I did NOT work on a few crafty projects this week using this:

And I did NOT end up with black spray paint all over my hands, because I did NOT point the sprayer in the wrong direction. I am an expert crafter, and I NEVER make messy mistakes while I am working on crafty things!

**I was NOT SUPER lazy today, and I did NOT link up my Not Me! Monday post from last week! **

******************************** Do you remember my last Not Me! Monday post...the one where I did NOT buy two bags of M&M's for my cookie jar?!? Well, after that post, I did NOT go to Target and buy 6 more bags to try and fill up my cookie jar! Those six bags did NOT fill it up, and we did NOT promptly start to empty it!
I did NOT tell my husband this week "I do not speak NERD", when he started trying to explain something to me by using a Sci-fi movie as a reference! Umm...Hello, I 'm girl! If you want me to understand something I'm pretty sure you should use a chick flick movie reference instead:)

Eli does NOT have the words 'yes' and 'no' mixed up! This is NOT SUPER cute, but also SUPER confusing! It is NOT already difficult to communicate with a toddler, and his word confusion is NOT making it twice as hard! When I ask him if he wants a cookie, he does NOT say 'no' and shake his head side to side!

******************************** This has NOT been a tought week for Eli. He has NOT been {almost} hurt more than a few times this week. More than one of those times was NOT my fault! I did NOT almost knock him unconscious with the refrigerator door! It did NOT go a little like this:

Me: "Eli, let's get your juice cup."

Eli: "Jooo"

THUMP

I did NOT have an almost half hour battle with Henry over 7 butter beans! He did NOT refuse to eat them, and I did NOT refuse to let him get up from the table without at least trying to eat them. My children are always compliant and never refuse to eat yummy and healthy vegetables!

I did NOT decided to buy some cute Easter candy to try and fill my cookie jar up. I did NOT buy two bags of M&M's thinking that should be plenty for decorations and to snack on too. I did NOT realize that it is going to take way more than two bags to fill up my {apparently much larger than I thought it was} cookie jar!

I did NOT get a new lens for my camera this week! I am NOT SUPER excited about it, but that does NOT mean that I need a new camera bag to hold all my stuff! I have NOT found two bags HERE and HERE that I really like. Now I DON'T just have to talk myself into picking just one and buying it!

I did NOT have a SUPER crazy week of doctor's visits{3}, surgery for tubes, and then pneumonia all in just a little more than 4 days! After such a busy week, I am NOT hoping for a nice boring week starting today:)

During all the craziness of last week, I did NOT eat at Chick-fil-a THREE times! I would NEVER eat fast food that much in one week, especially since I am supposed to be on a diet. I would also NEVER spend one of those trips eating a milkshake at 3 p.m. and then call it lunch! I always eat healthy, well rounded meals...and I always follow my diet plan!

I did NOT spend part of this weekend painting and working on a craft project while completely ignoring the housework that was piled up around me. I did NOT put a load of clothes in the dryer just because I felt bad looking at it in the basket getting all wrinkled while I was busy painting!

What did you NOT do this week?!?

********************************

I did NOT act like a kid in a candy store when I walked into Target and saw that their dollar section stuff was 75% off! I did NOT get excited because of all the pretty good dollar items that only cost 25 cents! I did NOT end up leaving with four bags full of stuff that I only spent a little over $20 on:)

We did NOT have an awesome time on our mini vacation that we got back from on Wednesday of last week. We have NOT been back for almost five days, and there is NOT still a huge pile of vacation laundry sitting in the breakfast room waiting for my attention. I have NOT been simply ignoring the dirty clothes until I know the boys are completely out of clean underwear, pants, and school uniforms! I am NOT so lazy that I just let the laundry go until the VERY LAST minute:)

What have you NOT been up to this week?

I did NOT completely abandon my diet last week. I did NOT get so caught up in baking various cookies and other Valentine's treats that I ended up gaining back almost 3 of the 10 pounds that I lost in January. I have much better will power than that, and I would NEVER blow a month of hard work on a few cookies, cupcakes, and Rice Krispy treats!
I did NOT get just a little sad when the Stained Glass cookies that I worked so hard on didn't turn out the way I had been picturing in my head. I would NEVER get upset over something as silly as cookies...even if they were supposed to be really cute teacher's gifts!

I did NOT get over my sadness quickly, because my other cookies turned out SUPER cute!

I do NOT think that I need to quit baking and start crafting....I don't think I can gain any weight from working with scrapbook paper and my new Cricut:)

I am NOT so glad that at least a few of you {well actually 8} got my {probably not as funny as I thought it was} title of THIS blog post! I did NOT decided that because you all are such great blog followers, that I would use random.org to pick one of the lucky 8 who actually understand my sense of humor! Myya was NOT the winner....so Myya...don't send me your address {but really do, so I can send you a little happy in the mail}!
