Once again, it’s time for “Not ME!” Monday; a veritable fun-fest of denial and, possibly even lies. You have to be able to read between the lines if you want to get to the bottom of things in this post, so put on your bifocals, and we’re off!
First, I may or may not have sampled at least as many, if not MORE of the flavors at World of Coke when I went on my second field trip there in a WEEK. And, after repeatedly telling the kids to go to the bathroom BEFORE they left the building (which you cannot reenter without buying a whole new ticket), I certainly did NOT tell one young man in my care to “deal with it” when he said he really needed to go to the bathroom once we were outside. That would be insensitive, wouldn’t it?
I did NOT wash my son’s mouth out with soap when, as he worked on a complicated LEGO figure, he let fly with a cuss word. That’s so old school, isn’t it? But if you think I’m gonna have a potty mouth in MY house, you got another think comin’.
I certainly did NOT wander around like the Israelites in the desert Saturday when trying to take a check to a friend’s house to leave in her mailbox. I know my way to her house; I go there at least once or twice a month. I did not possibly make 3 wrong turns and therefore turn a 5 minute drive into something closer to 25 minutes, which made the Bug Hunter and me late to another get-together. Better late than never, right?
And I probably didn’t simply smile and agree to letting my handsome hubby pick a FOUR AND A HALF MILE trail for our hike on Sunday. That would be crazy! None of us gets as much exercise as we need to, and I would surely have put my foot down and said we needed to do the two mile hike, wouldn’t I?
And today? Oh, I’m not aching all over and hobbling like a 90-year old woman after that 20 mile hike (it felt like it, therefore, it was, because that’s my reality!) that we took yesterday. I’m in better shape than that.. just look at me! (or not… probably actually best not… )
Finally.. I did NOT realize after one of MckMama’s posts that she and I share a birthday and are, therefore, birthday twins. And I DID NOT put that info into a comment on her website. And.. I did not nearly pee my pants when she actually put a comment on MY website.. yikes!
Those are just a few of the things that did NOT happen in my life over the past week. For more “Not ME” Monday posts, complete with belly laughs, hop on over to MckMama’s blogspot.. right now! But rest assured that it was NOT me that sent you there!
Happy Monday to all….

Well it's a GOOD thing you didn't do all that this week! ;)
20 mile hike....I'd be dead. LOL
Did you REALLY wash your son's mouth out with soap? I say...good job, MOM! I bet he'll think twice the next time! LOL! Have a blessed Monday!!!
Just the thought of "cleaning" my daughter's potty mouth is enough to keep her language nice! Once is all we ever needed here!
4 mile hike...wow..that is GREAT!

Thanks for your comment. I love the part about washing your son's mouth out with soap...I definitely got that a couple of times when I was younger. My parents are moving to Atlanta this summer. I'm excited to go to the World of Coke and sample all of the flavors.
Great Not Me's! I love how you call your son the Bug Hunter- too cute! Thanks for the comment!
I'm so glad you didn't do any of those things. My little children NEVER say potty words, and if they did, I, personally, would never use a tiny squirt of apple cider vinegar in their mouths for using such inappropriateness as "poop" and "butt." (they are only 5 and 6, after all. They haven't discovered the BIG ONES yet!
