The virus floating around my house last week {that I thought was going to be a quick 12 hours thing} did NOT end up staying around for almost 5 days! It is NOT finally gone, and we are NOT finally getting back to our normal routine after days of Gatorade, lots of toast, and a million loads of laundry! I am NOT completely giddy over the fact that I {hopefully} won't be cleaning up vomit today...or the rest of this week:)

Because the kiddos were NOT sick all week, I did NOT completely neglect my camera, leaving it in the case almost all week {except to take a few pics of my sick sleeping kids} and forgetting to put on my oh so cute camera strap! I do NOT feel like I missed almost a whole week of my life while we were sitting around the house...and I {really} do NOT have photographic evidence of that missing week!

Oh, and those million loads of laundry that I did NOT mention earlier...they were NOT stacked up in my living room over the weekend waiting to be folded. The huge stack of laundry was NOT sitting on a chair, towering taller than me! I did NOT consider taking a picture, but then decided I was too embarrassed to share because the stack was really that big! My wonderful hubby did NOT fold all of those clothes Sunday after church while I took a nap:)

I did NOT go shopping at local resale shop this weekend. I did NOT take advantage of their going out of business sale and buy a bunch great stuff{okay some of it might possibly be junk}. I did NOT come home with these:

and this:

I do NOT already have two other school desks upstairs...making my total number of desk 3! I do NOT have big plans to paint and decoupage the desks {now I have one for each kiddo} and put them in the boys' playroom. I have NOT been planning to fix up the other two for at least two years:) Hopefully, third times the charm!


I have NOT been really tired and lazy lately. That does NOT mean that I chose to nap this weekend instead of cleaning house. My kitchen counter top is NOT so cluttered with stuff right now that I would be embarrassed to share a picture of it:) I am NOT planning on spending the rest of the morning cleaning up the huge mess that managed to accumulate over the weekend!

It has NOT been freezing in South Mississippi this week! We have NOT been snuggled under blankets and drinking hot chocolate* to keep warm.

Despite the freezing temperatures we have been having, I did NOT wear flip flops one day this week. I did NOT drop Henry off at school and then walk Grant into preschool with my flip flops on....even though it was freezing outside. I would NEVER wear flip flops in 20 degree weather just because I was too lazy to go back to my closet and find socks.
I also did NOT make my kiddos wear a pair of pj's under their clothes on Saturday so that they would stay extra warm. Pj's do NOT make pretty good long johns for kiddos.

*Speaking of hot chocolate....I used random.org to pick a winner from my giveway on Friday. Congrats to Kelli from Outside My Kitchen Window! I will be sending you a SUPER cute hot chocolate themed prize. I am planning a few more giveaways this week...so stay tuned for your chance to win something!

Jason and I did NOT have a junk food free-for-all last week in an attempt to get all the junk food out of the house! We are NOT starting a diet/exercise plan today with the hopes of getting in better shape and losing some weight! I did NOT get on the scale this morning to record my start weight with the plan to lose a TON few pounds before my 30th birthday in June!

There is NOT still a {HUGE} bag of M&M's in the cabinet that is seriously going to test my will power for the next few weeks! I am NOT considering calculating how many Weight Watcher points are in a handful of M&M's just in case my will power loses!

I am NOT just a little excited that Christmas break is over and we are getting back into a normal schedule today. I did NOT enjoy sleeping late and being lazy for the last two weeks....but I also did NOT miss my normal routine:) I am NOT hoping that getting up early gets easier as the week goes by!

I did NOT wait until the week before Christmas to start working on my Christmas cards. I am NOT a huge procrastinator especially around the holidays. I have NOT been procrastinating a ton of other holiday stuff like shopping, wrapping, and decorating!
I did NOT make my children run around outside without shoes on this week. I would NEVER makes their little tootsies freeze just because I thought bare feet would be SUPER cute for their Christmas picture! I did NOT finally let them wear flip flops because they were quietly complaining whining about their feet being cold {and the ground was pretty wet}!

******************************** I did NOT let Eli play in the kitchen this week while I sat at the counter and blogged closely supervised him. He did NOT have a blast playing with all the spoons, spatulas, tongs, ladles, vegetable peelers, and ice cream scoops. I did NOT simply pick up all the above mentioned utensils and place them back in the empty drawer when he was finished playing. I would never let my one year old play with sharp perfectly safe utensils and then put them up without giving a second thought to cleaning them.

I have NOT been SUPER lazy about putting out Christmas decorations this year. Half of my decorations did NOT go right back to the attic as soon as Jason brought them down. The other half is NOT sitting in the dining room patiently waiting for me to get a little motivation. Because of my SUPER laziness, I did NOT buy this {oh so cute} box at Hobby Lobby thinking that it would be a great {and easy} replacement for our nativity set.

This was NOT the view from our hotel room last week. Jason and I did NOT have a great {and much needed} mini vacation...going to dinner, seeing a movie, doing a little shopping, and getting room service breakfast the next morning!

For more than half of last week, I was NOT confused about what day it was. This was NOT because the boys were out of school and Jason was off of work, throwing my whole weekly schedule into a jumbled mess.

On Thanksgiving, I did NOT forgo eating a bunch of SUPER healthy vegetables and really yummy turkey just to save room for dessert. I would NEVER eat dessert instead of lunch or dinner! I did NOT 'sample' almost all of the five or six desserts that were served at my grandmother's house!

I did NOT go shopping on Thanksgiving night {and Black Friday morning}...leaving my house at 9:30 pm and not getting home until 8:30 am the next morning. I would NEVER be crazy enough to completely forgo a night of sleep just to get some SUPER deals and have a ton of fun!

Lately, I have NOT been obsessed with making SUPER cute appliqued shirts for the boys. I am NOT planning a GIVEAWAY for tomorrow....and I am NOT going to make a shirt of their choice {size, color, fabric, and design} for the winner of that giveaway!

I did NOT finish off an entire carton of SUPER yummy Blue Bell ice cream by myself while Jason was out of town last week! I did NOT wait until the kiddos were asleep each night so that I didn't have to share my yummy ice cream! I would NEVER do that....because I always share my sweets and desserts with my oh so calm {sugar NEVER effects them} children!

I did NOT use my tshirt as a napkin while working on some Christmas crafts. I did NOT wipe SUPER sticky and hard to get out Mod Podge on my shirt simply because I didn't want to get up and walk to the kitchen to get a napkin. I would NEVER ruin a perfectly good {but kind of ugly} tshirt just because I was lazy!

I am NOT going on a {much needed} mini-vacation with my hubby today! We are NOT going to have dinner and maybe see a movie by ourselves for the first time in months! I am NOT really excited about getting a little bit of alone time without at least one kiddo tagging along {Who knew it would be so hard to talk my parents into watching three kids at once...before Eli, they watched the older two together all the time}, and possibly getting to sleep past 7 am.

I did NOT spend almost all of last week debating on whether or not I was going to go with Jason on a business trip. I did NOT consider letting the boys miss a few days of school just so I wouldn't have to be home alone {you know, with no other adults} for a whole week. I also did NOT consider just letting Henry and Grant spend the week with my mom while Eli and I enjoyed a little vacation!

I did NOT take Grant to the dentist last week to have one of his {baby} teeth fixed. I did NOT spend way too much just a little bit of money getting his tooth fixed strictly for cosmetic reasons. I would NEVER be so worried about appearance and spend so much on a tooth that he is going to lose in a few years anyway.

{His tooth did NOT go from gross, gray, injured tooth to nice normal looking tooth after 1 1/2 hours and about $500!}

I did NOT take the boys to attempt pictures with one of our local town's fall decorations. I did NOT take at least 50 shots...and only end up with about 3 good ones{I will post the good ones later this week}! I REALLY did NOT realize how hard it is to get three little boys to look {and smile} at the camera at the same time!

I did NOT spend Wednesday with Henry

HERE:

{On his school field trip}

************************
I did NOT spend most of the week working on

THIS:

{Henry's fireman costume for Drug Free Week at school}

THIS:

{Grant's hat for Silly Hat Day at preschool}

THESE:
{Magic Wands aka dipped pretzels}


and THESE:
{the boys' Halloween costumes}

I did NOT work on all of those things while baskets and baskets of laundry sat around my house continuing to wrinkle so much that they are {almost} unwearable. I would NEVER work on fun crafty stuff and leave the laundry to be done another day!

I hope everyone had a SUPER fun and safe Halloween!

This week I did NOT realize that I have accidentally been using Jason's toothbrush for the past few weeks. We did NOT both go into the bathroom to brush our teeth at the same time, and I did NOT grab what I thought was my toothbrush. Jason did NOT look at me and say...."Why are you using my toothbrush?" This did NOT continue for a while with us trying to decide who's toothbrush it actually was...it was Jason's!

I did NOT leave yet another basket of clean laundry sitting in the living room all week. I did NOT look at it a few times and think that maybe I should fold it....only to find something else to do so that I could procrastinate folding the clothes just a little bit longer. It is NOT now laundry day again...and those clothes are NOT still sitting in the basket where they started last Monday!

I did NOT lose Eli's paci while we were at the fair on Friday. I did NOT get just a little worried when I realized he had thrown it down and I had no idea where it was. I would NEVER get worried just because we had lost Eli's last paci! We did NOT retrace our steps and Grant did NOT spot it hanging on the rail by one of the rides we had stopped to watch. I was NOT SUPER relieved to have found his paci.

While we were at the fair, I did NOT decide that a funnel cake would make a great dinner for me. I did NOT make my boys eat a hot dog and some nachos {HEALTHY FOOD} before I would share my SUPER yummy funnel cake with them. I would never eat dessert for dinner while I made my kids eat {semi} real food!

This week I did NOT lose my checkbook, and then proceed to freak out a little when I realized it was missing. I did NOT accidentally drop it in a fast food restaurant while trying to carry my {huge} one year old, my purse, a bag of greasy food, and a diet soda. There is NO way that I had my hands so full {and I only had on kiddo with me}that I didn't notice my checkbook falling out of my purse. Luckily there are NOT still some honest people in the world who took my lost checkbook over to one of my bank branches across the street!

I did NOT have to steal my sisters sweater at the fall festival Friday night, because I wore a short sleeve shirt. I would never wear clothes that weren't appropriate for the season {or the changing of the seasons...since the cold front moved in Friday afternoon}!

I would NEVER let my children {all three of them} wear shorts in chilly weather just because they didn't have any pants that fit. I did NOT let them wear their SUPER cute long sleeve Halloween shirts with shorts, because that would just be silly! While at the {chilly} fall festival, Eli did NOT have snot icicles hanging from his nose!

I did NOT attempt to take a picture of the boys in their SUPER cute long sleeve Halloween shirts, only to end up with these three less than perfect pictures!

{Eli was not in the mood for pictures}

We did NOT spend most of the day Saturday at the soccer fields getting wind/sunburned. I did NOT neglect to put sunscreen on Eli, and he did NOT end up with a SUPER red face by Saturday afternoon.

I have NOT been a SUPER slacker when it comes to blogging lately. I did NOT schedule all of my post for last week on Monday, and then find myself MIA from blogland for the rest of the week! I have NOT been SUPER neglectful of all my bloggy friends this week by not reading or commenting on their posts! I am NOT SUPER sorry about that and hope that I can catch up on all my bloggy friends this week.

I did NOT learn that vomit can cover up that NEW CAR SMELL really quickly! Eli did NOT throw up all in my car this week on the way home from the grocery story. I did NOT have to pull over at a gas station, strip Eli down to his diaper, and then use an entire box of wipes to clean up his car seat and my NEW leather! It did NOT take at least 30 minutes for me to get the mess cleaned up...and my car did NOT smell really gross until Jason clean it out really good the next day!

I did NOT have a SUPER busy week, and I did NOT manage to leave my camera at home for everything that we did...which means I have ZERO pictures of our fun adventures. I did NOT miss out on taking pictures of the boys at their first drag race, the soccer game, eating BBQ at The Shed, and going to Praise in the Park. I am NOT SUPER sad that I don't have pictures of all our fun!

I was NOT just a little excited to go out of town on Wednesday last week. I was NOT gone shopping all day Thursday...which meant I did NOT have to change a single dirty diaper all day! I would NEVER be excited about going out of town just because I didn't have to change a {million} dirty diapers.
