Not me Monday for June 28, 2010

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.

We are not ecstatic that we have reached 34 weeks with Gracie.  We are not happy that we will be meeting her soon and we are NOT ready for this!  Nope not us!  The Kids are not anxious while awaiting for her arrival either! I did not think that I needed to work against Murphy's Law and decide to pack my bag as well as Gracie's for the hospital "just in case" right before going in for my check up. I did not get it all packed 95% with a list of the other 5% to put in when running out the door.  It did not only take me 15 minutes to do what I have been contemplating doing for the last 3-4 weeks.

I did not wake up on Saturday thinking I had a Graduation party to attend; only to find out that the party was actually scheduled for Sunday.  Oh and I really honestly did not know I actually had a Grad party AND a Bridal Shower scheduled and already confirmed that I would be at AT THE SAME TIME.  Nope, did not do that at all! I mean I have pretty much cloned two of the three kids to be like me but I just would not feel comfortable sending one of them in my place!

We did not have some wonderful days with the kids helping with chores through the house and we did not decide to purchase something for them for the PS2.  We would never just let them play it pretty much all say on Saturday and let it drive us nuts either. I ALWAYS limit their time!

I did not go up to the local Historical Society Fundraiser - a Flea Market Day.  I did not have a good time, and did not talk with others in the area that I know.  Never bought a hot dog, candy for the kids, homemade soap powder for the washer, nor pick up an Avon book.  We did not run into my parents, and my dad was not just off work.  I could not be any happier when I was having troubles walking through all of the vendors and then having to leave before seeing my friends one last time before packing back into the van to come home.

Our 11 year old child was not stung by a bee while trying to climb in or out of our pool in the back yard.  She also did not come into the house screaming that she needed my help and that she was stung.  I did not have to pull a stinger out of her foot and it did not start to swell immediately.  We did not watch her breathing just to make sure that she was not allergic to the point she could not breathe, nor did we treat her with Benedryl and Motrin to cover all basis.  In the morning when she got up, it was still not swollen and she was not treated with another round of meds. 

Sunday was not full of fun and excitement.  I don't recall having gone over to the house after the grad was just born and no I don't feel very old seeing her after she just graduated from my Alma Mater.  I never enjoyed seeing anyone I have not seen in a long time.  Fireman DID NOT take my oldest out to teach him how to golf (the party was held at a golf course), and of course they did not enjoy themselves. While eating my father did not suggest that they start a pool as to when the baby would be born and he did not suggest that he thought if I made it to July 2-4 I would be lucky.  My kids were not on their best behavior and showed no signs of having a blast!  It was not almost 90 degrees and you could not feel all of the humidity in the air.  The sun was not out and Grandpa was not watching one of the ponds and trying to fish out a great big fish he found facinating with a fishing pole that he chose to bring along "for the drive". My girls did not follow Fireman and oldest boy around the golf course, coming back to report all of the balls they did not lose; which I was very impressed with the numbers.  I did not try to hide the laughter when one of my Uncles decided to seek revenge against my youngest daughter with a bottle of water and I did not think she would really take him seriously when he asked if she could swim.... in a lake and not a pool!  Oh and there was not one chin that dropped on anyone around what was happening.  I never laughed when she was standing next to me and I took another bottle and got her wet twice more, and she never even tried to think about opening her bottle to get me wet.  Uncle did not get a really serious look upon his face while she contemplated attempting to cool off mom and mom was in no way really wishing she would do it just to get her body to cool down a smidgen. 

Oh and by the way, we did not just "leave in time" so that we just got home before a nice storm rolled through the area. The baby was not kicking by the time I got settled into a cooler house than it was outside. I really think she hates hot weather!
We did not have to come home to look at DD's foot again- only to find that the swelling in her foot was twice the size as before and also extending up to her toes.  We did not have to treat it again with topical spray, a little bee swab, baking soda, Benedryl, motrin and off to bed.

Did I mention I am not having a problem sitting because the baby is THAT low?  Nope..... NOT ME!

Not Me Monday

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 am not 33 weeks pregnant as of last Friday.

I had no doctor's appointment on Wednesday.  Hubby came home and we all piled into the van and took off for the appointment.  We did not hit a black cat while dodging another black cat, both crossing the road.  And that said cat did not get up, shake it's tail and head and walk away with me not crying "We gotta go back and check on him" with tears building up in my eyes.  Nope never happened and this was not a bad sign of what was to follow.  We got into the office with all three kids, and no it never happened that the Husband was the one causing all of the problems, getting into things and being a nuisance (see posts from last week to see the explanation on this).  We were not nervous on what the doc was going to have to say either.
I did not breathe a sigh of relief as we all walked out of the office, waited for the elevator and exited the building. No blogging on the subject either!

Friday was not rather eventful with Fireman taking a load down to Columbus wondering if he was going to be stuck for a while since the President was coming into town.  I did not fret; and I did not ask his buddy to call the dispatcher and thank him for sending him down there in that mess.  The dispatcher did think I was being grumpy, and of course the dispatcher did not understand I was actually in one of my smart assed moods. 

Saturday came along; and I was sleeping quite peachy on my living room couch (you know the one that probably wont need replaced because I am killing the springs in it) while Fireman was not trying too awful hard to wake me so that we could go do our errands that day.  We picked up our angel food order; pulling dinner out while we put the food away, then loaded back into the van to go gallavanting over in a nearby township at their Farmer's market opening day for this year.  Fireman found some white bread, me a hot dog, the boy found a sausage sandwich, and when we went back for some other things we were looking for they were difficult to get when they had sold out!  It was very hot and humid and I did not waste any time finding my way back to the van and asking Fireman to get me out of the heat.  I (of course) would never come home and fall asleep again due to being in the nice cool house.

Sunday was Father's Day.  Lots of things to do around the house, while the kids decided to jump into the freezing cold pool since we had just spent 3 days of running the water into it an hour at a time taking breaks to give the water pump a break and trying not to drain the water out of the well.  This is actually the first year we did this, and I believe next year we will have it trucked in again.  The kids were actually quite chatty over at Grandma's and Grandpa's while we went to visit for Father's day.  My parents got workout equipment that is on their back porch and I am actually amazed that I let Katelyn go and go on that machine while Grandpa sat there looking at me and telling me that she is going to be hurting in the morning while I just looked at hime and said that I guess she would find out all about that tomorrow.  I also explained that no matter what I say she has to experience it herself because if not she won't believe me.  My son did not whine a good part of the time there that he was hungry, and he did not try to be overbearing trying to get me to buy things he wanted while getting a few items at the store afterwards.

I made dinner after getting home; and I was actually shocked the kids ate pretty well!  Of course having them help prepare the dinner by having one make gravy and the other one make crossonts did not help matters any. 

While the kids went to bed and I was getting ready to start cleaning up the kitchen I thought it would be a good idea to open the windows and turn the air off since it cooled off some outside.  I did not think about all of the nats outside being sucked into the house through said windows just because I had the whole house fan turned on to suck that air in.  I did not have to throw leftovers out just because of all the dead nats all over them, causing fireman to have to change his plans for lunch for the Monday workday. 

I was wiped out after tackling the loading and unloading of the dishwasher and for some reason I did not still keep going; wiping down cabinets, cleaning out the over zealously filled with leftover food in the refridgerator.  It did not look like I needed to go to the store at all after that was accomplished and I did not fill a complete 30 gallon trash bag full of debris that was being kicked out to the curb to be picked up in the morning.
