That MckMama, she's addictive, I tell ya! Maybe it's that her weekly "series" is on Mondays-- hot off the weekend and all my family's crazy shenanigans-- but I can never resist participating! If you feel like playing along, head over to her blog and check it out.
And if you're new to my blog, welcome! I love to see new visitors around here, and hope you like what you see. If you leave me a comment or another way to check out your blog, I'd certainly love to repay the visit.
This week, MckMama is doing her standard "Not Me! Monday", but I'm going to mix it up by interjecting a little "Not My Child! Monday" into my post.
So...
My child did NOT try to pick food up off the floor at our favorite Italian restaurant during lunch with me and her grama Saturday afternoon. And she MAY not have succeeded... I'm honestly not sure, because I didn't realize she was doing it right away. And G most certainly did not learn how to use the word "why" (or, more precisely, "WHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYY??????") at the top of her lungs during a shopping trip to Best Buy this weekend. She'd already tried to demolish a few displays when I scooped her up off the floor (WHHHHYYYYYYYYYYY does she insist on walking everywhere these days?). She started fussing, and I did NOT say, "G, I can't let you walk around here anymore". Well, that baby did NOT reply with her new favorite word.
As for me, I did NOT try to cop out on my week to cook and make the same pasta with three different sauces and try to pass it off as three different meals. NOPE, NOT ME. I am not lazy when it comes to cooking, and I would definitely NOT cut corners in order to get out of the kitchen at light speed. No way! (Insert eyelashes batting) Aren't I the Julia Childs of the 21st century? Aren't I the Emeril Lagasse of the East Coast?
From DH: Apparently, I am NOT. Or, on this day of double negatives, I am NOT not. Whatever. You get the picture.
And remember that new laptop I said I already hated? Well, I did NOT stay up way past my bedtime two nights in a row checking email in bed. That would NOT be a bad idea for someone who can't sleep in past 7:30am.
What did you NOT do this week? Can't wait to hear what you have to say!

it is such fun to go shopping with little ones. your post was hilarious! Love the "why?"
Sounds like you're going to have to start coming up with lots of reasons "Whyyyyy?" now! Fun! We always stay up way too late, too, and can't sleep in either. So we're always tired. But I think everyone is....as long as you're having a little fun and "me" time, it's a good reason to stay up!
He he hhhheeee... this post cracked me up for a few reasons:
1) my son definitely does NOT start screeching at the top of his lungs when he doesn't get what he wants. he is a very well behaved child :-p I just **love** the toddler phase that we've entered.
2) I would never have a "frustrated" look on my face when this screeching occurs, b/c well, lets face it the experts say I should just ignore it. Sigh.
3) Oddly, I made baked pasta with jar sauce & cheese last night.... just so I had something homemade in the refrigerator when MIL came to babysit today. Pasta always counts as a homemade "new" meal... the sauce changes everything (even if it came from a jar!).
4) I absolutely NEVER stay up late doing some random thing on my laptop. Everything I try works out well the first time and I never have to hunt and poke around for the answer for more than 5 min.
Ah... the parallel lives we lead.
