its time again for a "not me monday"

this has been one of those extra-special mondays that put you in your place just in case you were getting a little cocky and thought you could get through a day without God.

i did not wake up late (as in twenty minutes before i needed to leave for work). i had not slacked sunday night and not packed lunches or backpacks. i did not go to get boy's clothes out of the dryer to realize that i didn't put them in the dryer last night so he had NO dry pants or big boy underwear! (and i don't have to pack like three sets of extra clothes just in case since we are potty training) i did not throw the three sets of pants and underwear i thought would dry the fastest into the dryer and crank it on high just to send my sweet stinky boy out the door in slightly damp clothes. we did not get out to the car to find the car seat was not installed and did not have blueberries smashed in it from gamma and paw paw borrowing it sunday. i was not late for work...



the day did improve from there, then i came home from a run to start dinner. i decided to make philly cheese steak (a really yummy recipe i'll share in a bit).

i cut my almost frozen roast into strips and put them in the food processor to thinly slice...


i was cutting roast and suddenly i did not hear boy screaming as raw meat was flinging through the air. i did not turn to see this...

i did not get distracted by boy's screams and take even longer to stop the food processor. boy had not minutes before opened the dishwasher and pull out the baskets of clean dishes. the dishwasher was not directly behind me. i did not need to rewash all the dishes because they had tiny chunks of raw meat all over them. i did not spend the rest of the night cleaning the mess up... i am way to "together" for any of that to happen to me, but i will pray for the poor soul that did have this day...

not me monday

i did not take all boy's clothes off when we got home from school to
let him play in the puddles from the rain earlier today so i could get some work done on the computer.
i most certainly did not see him bend over and
try to drink the puddle water, YUCK!
what kind of momma would do something like that? not me!

not me monday

sister came up and we went mountain biking for the first time... more about that later...



we left the house at 9:00am, sweated profusely, went back to mom's house and the day just kept rolling on.



i did not get to take a shower (really), i did not go to the store later in the day still mud covered and smelling less than fresh, i did not stop till 8:00pm when my feet started itching (really), i did not have feet and ankles covered in seed ticks, how gross!

not me monday

i have not been reading a bunch of crazy, homeschooling, dozen-kid-having, momma blogs (that are super inspiring by the way... i can't do half of that and i only have boy).

i have not stolen their cute idea of having a "not me! monday" blog post.

and while i'm at it...

i have not been eating 10,000 calories a day and blowing off my running in order to deal with the emotional stress of leaving boy each day and going back to work where i got an additional job title, very little extra pay, and LOTS of extra work. i am not an emotional eater! not me!

i don't do dumb things, loose my keys, put my foot in my mouth, forget where i was going or why i was going there, make lists for my lists, pretend like i know what i'm doing, on a daily basis.

you know, it feels really good to fess up and admit that i don't do any of these things. not me.
