Not me, Monday…

zNot Me Monday ButtonWow, these Mondays are starting to come around regularly!  On Friday night my oldest son asked me if I cared about Fridays(since I don’t work outside the home).  I replied, “No, I really don’t care about Fridays, I like Mondays!”  Everybody groaned…

I like Mondays because everyone goes back to work and I have the place to myself…and because of “Not me, Mondays”!  So sit back, read what I haven’t been up to, and have a laugh on me.  As always, when finished mosey on over to mckmama’s at http://www.mycharmingkids.net  and join her blog carnival.  I guarantee you will laugh!

No, I did not leave the bed unmade the entire week.  Not because I was too lazy to make it up, but I was too lazy to  unmake it at night!  I’ve found that it’s easier just to hop right back in at night if it’s unmade.  No pillows to move, no giant teddy bear to move, no 50 pound comforter to turn back…I love simplicity!!!

No,  I didn’t watch my hubby and son-in-law put up a quickset pool on one day only to wake up and find the inflatable top ring of it deflated the next day.  I didn’t sit and watch two different cats jump in and out of that pool within 30 minutes that day!  Apparently there were more than two cats who took a swim because there were three sets of claw holes in the rim of the pool…Quickset pools and cats don’t go together…

No, my son-in-law didn’t get huge tire patches and put them on the rim of the quickset pool to patch up the claw holes…nothing like a decorative touch! 

 Did I mention that the water also turned green within 2 days???  Do swimming cats cause algae???

I didn’t sit on the computer– on Facebook– one day and give a play by play report of a car chase that was on Fox news…my time is more valuable than that!

No, I didn’t just about choke to death on a sugar cookie…not like you think..I inhaled some of the loose sugar off the top of the cookie by mistake!  I thought I was a goner!  I can’t imagine why kids inhale smarties!!!  Stupid people…

No, I didn’t sit my grandaughter, Maddie, on the potty chair in the living room and cut her hair while she watched a dvd…I would never do that!  and no, I didn’t bribe her with Tootsie Rolls later when she had to come back for me to trim one side of her hair a little more…it’s so hard to get those darn  sides even!

No, the 2 and 1/2 year old grandaughter didn’t ask me “why are you looking at me that way?” when I was trying to decide if her hair was even on the sides…

Later in the week, no I didn’t sit in the yard and watch my daughter and her family swimming in the “patched up” quickset pool.  I didn’t hear a scream and look up to see what looked like Niagra Falls coming over the side of the pool…that’s what happens when your pool rim goes flat! 

I’m so glad my daughter got a pool, I wouldn’t have had nearly as many laughs this week without it!  Have a good week friends.

  1. How funny. I laughed all the way through about that pool ! I know it had to be aggravating.

    Oh, and the whole Facebook/Car chase thing… I would NEVER do that either. ;)
