Not Me! Monday- Target Edition

It's that time again!

This week I did not go to Target three separate times. I did not go again today (new weekly deals, people). I am not a total Target addict.

While I wasn't there a total of four times, if I had been, I wouldn't make a return three of those four times. And then I definitely would not be lured by 90% off clearance and proceed to buy more Christmas gifts for next year.

I did not decide that it would be a good idea to take two one year olds with me to Target on Friday (no really, I didn't... Colton didn't turn one until Saturday! :-).

Colton and Jack did not hold a conversation with each other while in the cart consisting of:

Jack: "No, no, no." (while wagging finger)

Colton: (laughing) "No, no, no." ... and so on...

And is custom while the three of us are out, a total of seven people did not comment something along the lines of, "Awww. Look at the twins!"

While I wasn't there with two babies,  I definitely didn't regret the three cups of coffee I'd had that morning. I didn't decide that waiting to use the restroom until we got home was not an option. I also didn't consider asking the cashier to watch the babies for just a sec.

I most certainly did not, for lack of a better plan, wheel the whole cart into the Target bathroom and into the biggest disabled stall I could find. The boys didn't continue to "talk" while I used the bathroom.

The 16 year old in the bathroom did not look at me like I was crazy, nor did she roll her eyes. And I didn't hear her muttering under her breath something about never having kids.

I will not be going back to Target with two small children after drinking so much coffee. At least, not until next time...

Not Me! Monday

It's been a while since I participated in this blogfest, so I decided this week I was in desperate need of a Not me! post.

No matter what anyone tells you, I most certainly did not do the following this  past week:

I did not wear the same pink Christmas pajamas nearly the entire week, prompting Mike to wash them one night just so I could put them back on clean after my shower. I get dressed in a new outfit every morning, and I most certainly don't schlep around in my pj's all day. Neither does Jack.

I wasn't secretly thrilled that my husband deemed the roads too icy to be safe last Wednesday morning, therefore deciding to go into work late. I did not procede to go back to sleep until 9 am, since he was home to play with Jack.

On that same day, since Jack was wearing a Christmas looking outfit (which he had not worn to bed the night before) I did not try to get pictures of him by our Christmas tree. Since he always cooperates fully, I did't try to bribe him to sit by the tree with Cheez-Its. That worked perfectly, but if it hadn't I absolutely would not have bribed him with a chocolate chip cookie.

I did not teach Jack the game "night-night... wake-up!" simply so I could lay on the floor and close my eyes, but pretend it was so he could practice saying "night-night," which he doesn't sound totally adorable saying.

I did not start this Not Me! post last Wednesday because I can't ever seem to get my act together on a Monday to post something. I'm totally together!

Not Me! Monday

In case you're interested, the host of Not me! Monday, MckMama, had her beautiful newest baby boy, MckMuffin, on October 29th (that's right, Jack's birthday!).

So, on to the Not me! madness...

I did not lay in bed Sunday morning, opting to skip church in order to sleep in. I did not continue to wake up and look at the clock, only to turn over and go back to sleep until 9:45 knowing my boys were happily playing downstairs. It did not feel like I got to sleep until 10:45 because it wasn't the first morning of Daylight Savings Time. :-)

I am not currently listening to Jack "play" in his crib, because he did not wake up after only 30 minutes of a morning nap.

I did not take 346 pictures during the month of October. I do not have the cutest boy in the history of the world and I am most certainly not biased about that!

I am definitely not concerned that Jack is becoming uber spoiled as we will not celebrate his birthday for the third time this coming weekend.

I have not decided that since I stay at home just about all the time now, showering is probably only an every other day necessity. I do not live in my pj's and no matter what anyone tells you, I never wear the same out fit for more than one day in a row!

What did you not do this week? Join in the fun times and do your own Not me! post!

Not Me! Monday

It's Not Me! Monday time again! Click here for the rules and to see the MckMama's recent Not Me! post. Here I go!

* I didn't make Allison pick me up at 4:15 am on Thursday to get me and Jack to the airport on time. Who would do that, anyway?

* I have not had a cold since last Sunday, and I didn't lose my voice after flying on Thursday. I didn't smile, but think "are you deaf?!" when people complimented my hoarse singing at the wedding.

* I did not pop my knee out of socket while getting into my seat on the plane last night, for the fourth time since May. It isn't swollen and killing me, because I'm not getting old.

* I didn't threaten to "put you in your crib and let you scream there" last night when Jack cried, screamed, and kicked from 3:15-3:50 am this morning. I then didn't give in and just let him sleep with me, even though he was still crying because I'm not a softie and I was not tired beyond reason.

* I did not tear up at the news video of the military dad surprising his little girl in the Minnesota airport. Twice. Not me! I'm not emotional like that.

* Jack did not learn several new words and really improve his walking while we were gone, because he is not a genius baby! :-)

Not Me Monday

One of my favorite blog authors, MckMama, has decided to host a weekly blog fest called Not Me Monday. Follow along, and check out her blog to figure out how to play!______________________________________________________________

* I did not let Jack chew on a book on the plane (I'm trying to teach him to take care of books) just because he was happy. Why would I do that and risk being inconsistent?

* I definitely was not secretly glad that Jack pitched a full-out fit on the plane to annoy the extremely rude woman we were sitting next to. Not me! That would be awful!

* I did not skip nursing Jack on the plane so as not to further offend said woman (as if simply having a child on a plane isn't offensive enough!), opting instead for the sippy cup. Consequently, this morning I did not wake up with a plugged milk duct and feeling really icky.

* I have not been using disposable diapers all day today, simply because I'm too lazy to fold and stuff the clean cloth dipes in the laundry hamper.

* I did not stay up really late last night catching up on blogs that I couldn't read over the weekend because we had no internet. While Jack was sleeping? That would just be dumb!

and one future "not me"...

* I certainly will not put off enacting our sleep training plan tonight by justifying that will a clogged milk duct, I need Jack to nurse all night as usual.

Ok, seriously, I'm working really hard today to unclog that duct with lots of nursing and pumping so that I can start the sleep plan tonight, and so I can't use that as an excuse. I'm ready for Jack to be sleeping, just not looking forward to the process.
