Not Me! Monday

It was NOT ME who was suprised by a random sneeze while eating dinner the other night. I was happily chewing my food and ACHOO!!!!! snuck in there. Needless to say, it was NOT snot that rolled out of my nose and my semi-chewed dinner did NOT go flying out. I would ALWAYS cover my mouth when I sneeze and follow proper rules when sneezing. Also, when I was caught off guard by said sneeze, the aforementioned snot did NOT stream out of my nose and onto my shirt sleeve. Nope, that certainly did not happen. Even if it did, it is WAY too gross to ever admit to on my blog. Yuck.

I have NOT recently started grinding my teeth at night at it really DOES NOT bother my husband. I don't recall him telling me he wanted to smother me with my pillow just so I would stop grinding my teeth. Because, you know it's hard to grind your teeth when there is not oxygen or blood flow going to your brain. Nope, that never happened.

Along those same lines, it was NOT me who, while wearing a mouthgard for the above NOT teeth grinding. I felt a sneeze coming on (thanks for the warning this time!!) and took the mouthgard out. The stupid sneeze vanished. So I put my mouthgard back in, only to have a sneaky sneeze make it's presence known in the form of me NOT sneezing my mouthgard out and it hitting the wall beside my bed. That is just too ridiculous to happen.

It was NOT MY HUSBAND who now owes me a new tire on my vehicle because he wasn't paying attention and clipped a curb. We did NOT get out of the car and hear SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS coming from my driver's side front tire. It was not completely flat. It was not snowing REALLY hard at this time and we were trying to go eat dinner with my MIL. I did not take DS inside to eat while I stood shivering and getting soaked by the snow (because I don't have anything to cover my head. Did I mention I was already getting sick?) It was NOT me who stood outside for 30 minutes with my DH while he attempted to change my tire in the freezing cold and blowing snow.

Lastly, it was DEFINATELY not me who sent a text message to a friend wishing him a happy birthday, only to get a message back from him stating that it was NOT his birthday. OOPS! I keep close track of all my friends birthdays and would NEVER wish happy birthday to the wrong person. Nope, not me.

It's been a long week!!

Sick weekend

Thursday DS started coughing in the afternoon. That night he was fine. The following morning he woke up with a 101 fever. That progressed into a 103 fever. The cough also became very "barky" sounding, which i knew wasn't so good. During this whole time he was his usual pleasant self, although he took more breaks while he was playing.

Saturday DH took him to the dr as i was working. They did some chest xrays and various things (during which he was wonderful i was told) and he was diagnosed with walking pneumonia. They prescribed antibiotics and now 36 hours lately his fever i think has finally run its course but his cough is still NASTY sounding and his nose is running CONSTANTLY but at least it's clear.

Last night as i was trying to go to sleep, he started calling out for me. I went to him and laid with him on the couch for a little bit and patted his back to try to keep his cough from getting stuck in his throat. I eventually sat with him on the floor of the bathroom with the hot water in the shower running full blast. I spent the night on the floor of his room because everytime i walked out of his room he would cry pitifully. It wasn't the most pleasant night, but we've had worse and i'm hoping tonight is better.

It is NOT ME who usually runs out to her car in her nightgown (in 20 and 30 degree weather mind you) to start the car so it can warm up. I ALWAYS dress properly and always wear shoes outside when the sidewalk is freezing and it's 14 degrees outside. I would never risk getting sick to make sure my vehicle is warm for me and my child. Nope, not me.

It's also not me who fibbed to her husband. A few days ago he called me from work to ask me what I was doing. I fibbed and said "Folding clothes" because I didn't want to tell him I was actually sitting on the computer blaring music from YouTube and wasting time doing NOTHING. To cancel out the fib i told my hubby, i then folded lots of the laundry and even cleaned the kitchen too. I would NEVER fib to my spouse because i'm too lazy to tell him that i'm REALLY just sitting on my tailbone. Nope, not me.

Sundays

Last summer, I decided I wanted to paint the bathroom in our hallway a deep red.

Today, I decided I hated the color. So I taped the place up and worked on the trim. I unscrewed wall plates and towel racks, etc and climbed up on the counters. My arms and shoulders are so sore right now.

We were at Subway for lunch earlier today and DS passed gas and said excuse me. I statred giggling at him pooting and then he kept saying "I pooted Mama, i pooted!" I kept trying to hide my face so he wouldn't see me laughing, but I could hear him. I had tears rolling down my face because he kept shouting about him pooting while we were trying to hush him. Good things Subway wasn't very crowded. Only my child.

I have an eye appointment coming up Wednesday and i'm going to talk to them about Lasik. I know it's expensive but as much money as i spend and have spend in contacts and supplies over the past 13 years, i could more than pay for the surgery. I can't STAND having my eyes dilated. It always gives me a headache because i have to leave my contacts out and sit in a room for 20 minutes while the drops work.

It was not me who, while having adult time with my DH last night, that I um, fell off the bed, bumping my rear end on the bedrail. I did NOT also bang my bare foot on the wall and did NOT slide gracefully to the floor. My bottom does NOT have a large bruise on it and it definately is NOT sore. Nope, not my butt.

It was also NOT ME who, for lack of a tissue, wiped her son's runny nose on her snow white glove, then continued to wear said snotty glove because I forgot about the snot swipe. Nope, not me. I am ALWAYS prepared with tissues and things that my child could potentially need.

It was not ME and my coworkers who were doing the Chicken Dance and Electric Slide because a fun cd came on. Nope, not us. We are professional working adults in the medical field and would NEVER get silly enough to dance like zanies around our heart patients, just for their (come on i mean OUR) amusement. Not around my job.

Last but not least, it was NOT ME who giggled like a buffoon because I also kicked one of my coworkers while trying to lean down and pick up a patient's medical log off the floor. I apparently did NOT kick my leg up behind me to balance myself and inadvertantly kicked her. Nope, it definately wasn't me.

It was NOT ME who let my child eat his bedtime snack in the bathtub because I was trying to hurry him into bed but he wanted a snack and he needed a bath as well. Kill two birds with one stone I say. I would never let my DS eat a soggy banana because it kept falling into the bathtub. Nope, not me.

It was also NOT ME who started laughing at her son while I was cutting his nails because I told him if he did not hold still and listen, then I would (insert appropriate punishment here: caning, quartering, waterboarding, etc) him. He said "Look Mama I'm listening!" and sat still as you please. It wasn't me who laughed until I cried because he looked so serious while I was sitting back giggling. Nope, I would NEVER laugh at his expense.

While we're on the subject, I would NEVER NEVER bribe my child to go pee in the potty because I'm tired and hungry. "Yes sweetie, if you pee in the potty, I'll let you play with your new train and stay up late and I'll buy you a Ferrari and etc..." I'm a better mom than that and I have the most patience in the world with my toddler.


And finally, it is NOT ME who counts going to the grocery store at 9pm without my child or husband as "me time". I DO NOT always listen to children's cds in the car with DS and going to the store is NOT my chance to listen to grown up music and just be by myself for an hour. Too bad I only live 2 minutes from the grocery store....

Date Night

Friday night DH and I were supposed to go to dinner and a movie since his mom had the little one. We got all gussied up (read: I put on makeup!) and went to dinner at Applebee's. We needed to kill some time before the movie started so we went to a local bookstore. We were getting some books and gifts for the nieces and nephew and were reading some books ourselves when my eyes started to tear and burn and water. I wear contacts and don't wear makeup very often so my eyes are pretty sensitive to no matter what makeup I use. I went into the bathroom to wash off my makeup but it just made it worse. So we decided to head home where I could properly vacate the offending makeup from my face.

Then we just watched a movie from home. It wasn't quite what I was wanting our date night to be but at least we got to enjoy a yummy dinner alone.

Currently I'm waiting for the hashbrown casserole that DH fixed to finish baking so we can eat breakfast. We were hoping it would warm up enough outside for us to go to the local park and let DS play and for DH to play as well. He got a bunch of remote control cars for Christmas and he's been itching to play with them. Our backyard is too muddy from a lot of rain lately so we were going to go to a local ballfield. I'm hoping it's not too muddy either.

Without further ado, pictures from our date night BEFORE the makeup mishap. Excuse DH's strange face in them. He was not drunk or high in any of them, he was being silly.








Silly DH cheesing after I told him he looked sleepy in the previous pics.

It was definately NOT ME who giggled hysterically, I mean with tears pouring from my eyes, when my child was walking towards me and bumped his hip into our ottoman, then proceeded to do a semi flip onto the floor. He did NOT look up at me laughing so hard and grinned like he had a done a trick. I would never laugh at my child falling down. Nope, not me.

It was also NOT ME who threw a clean shirt, that had wedged itself into the couch cushions, back into the laundry hamper because I didn't feel like folding it and putting it away. I am definately not that lazy. Nah, not me.

It was NOT ME who nearly fell over laughing while putting DS to bed tonight because DH passed gas and DS said "Daddy you pooted hard!" and we did NOT all bust out in giggles. It would NOT BE me who would laugh at something like a simple bodily function that we all do. Nope, not me.

And keeping along the gassy lines, it was NOT MY CHILD who, while sitting in my lap recently, let out a HUGE poot and I did NOT feel it ripple up my thigh. He then proceeded to NOT laugh at my reaction. My boy is definately NOT a gassy, giggly creature. Nope, not him.

Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas! We had to do Christmas a day early because DH was working today and this entire weekend. DS is too young to know better LOL.

Pictures ahead!

It is not me who sometimes takes umm, longer than needed bathroom breaks to give myself some space and a few minutes alone. Nope, not me.

It is also NOT ME who, while placing an upset son into his carseat last Wednesday, FORGOT to buckle him in. I would NEVER do that to my child. And I completely would not try to buckle said carseat, upon toddler informing me that his seat was unbuckled, while driving 40 mph down the road. Nah, not me.
