Not Me Monday

Well I finally learned how to make over my blog with my own creation & make it my own.. I have been learning more and more about HTML & how to work my photoshop. But it most certainly is NOT ME who has made over her blog more then once this week or even this month. I mean I would never have so much fun with this blog layout creation thing that I would spend hours on it & even stay up way past my bed time to get it perfect.. I mean who does that.. NOT ME!!

We have been eating out A LOT.. more then any person should.. its so unhealthy & expensive.. but it is NOT ME who refuses to cook lately.. I mean I love to cook so why would I stop wanting too? It is also NOT ME who has her hubby cook on the nights we don't eat out.. I would never ask my hard working hubby to come home & cook for us.. No Way Jose.. that is my job right?

Well this is my Not Me Monday.. now head over to MckMama to read some more or to post your own Not Me Monday to share as well.

Not Me Monday

So I missed last week because we were at my in laws still from Easter.. sorry about that.

But this week well let me share..

For Easter my sister in law "Laura a.k.a Lo" made the kids Easter Baskets this year. {We take turns} Well as they were all going through their baskets I noticed Shiloh was having a melt down so it was Not Me who had to capture her in her moment of melting down.. it is also Not Me who has fallen in love with the picture & wants to actually frame it & put it up in my house.. I mean what mom takes a picture of their child throwing a fit & wants to share it with the world.. Not This Mom:

Shiloh is a sneaky little bugger these days.. she knows that having candy in the house is rare.. she knows that mama {me} always throws it out after a couple of days because if not she {me} will eat it all. So she was on the hunt this week.. anytime she found an egg {which we for some reason have them ALL over our house} she opens it & stuffs her mouth full of jelly beans or what ever candy is in it super fast before I can get it. Yeah that is my 18 month old. But it was Not Me who new she was up to no good & allowed it anyways.. nope I didn't sit there & take these pictures of her stuffing her face full of jelly beans.. I mean what mom allows her baby to eat candy?? Nope Not I!!

Shiloh has been taking late naps lately.. she hasn't been sleeping well because if you read my post from yesterday {She Will ALWAYS Be My Baby Girl} you will see what our sleeping issues are. But the other day it was Not Me who had to take another cute picture of my grumpy girl when she had awoken from her nap before she wanted to. I mean first of all I would never allow my child to take a nap after 3 PM or sleep till after 5 PM.. & then wake her child up because its dinner time.. No Way I am not that mean of a mommy!!

Thanks for visiting my Not Me Monday now head over to MckMama's blog & link up yours or read more Not Me Monday's posted by other bloggers.

Not Me Monday

I love to vacuum.. {I know I am a weirdo} I love to see the tracks from vacuuming & if there are little feet that ruin the tracks I vacuum over them.. that is how much I love it.. can we say OCD anyone? Anyways I was vacuuming our room on Tuesday & it was NOT ME who didn't realize that the hose was off & while I was vacuuming in front of the window it was NOT ME who sucked the curtains off the wall. Nope I would never notice the first one come down & continue vacuuming so that it would suck the second one down too.. oops.. that was added to my honey do list that has yet been touch LOL.

So Shiloh has been doing really well with sleeping in her bed since we moved to the new house.. well until the last week or so. She has been going to bed at nigh no problem.. but every night around 2 or 3 she has been waking up screaming & crying.. & it is NOT ME who every time rather then sooth her back to sleep & try to attempt to get her to stay in her bed just brought her into our bed to sleep for the night.. we are not going back to that again.. 

So we had a busy weekend & went out of town on Friday for the night & returned Saturday.. but it is NOT ME who has not cleaned, unpacked or picked up since I have been home.. nope I would NEVER allow my house to be a mess or stay a mess for more then 24 hours.. my OCD would never except that. I mean who's house looks like this?? Certainly not mine.. 

Not Me Monday

 

Well it was Not Me who decided to not have a Not Me Monday.. no way I would never skip the fun of sharing with all of you my Not So Me Moments.. Never :-(

Sorry I did not participate today. I didn't have time this morning to post before going over to B Boys for the day. Then this afternoon I received some upsetting news from my sister that our family dog "Zac" is very sick & that they are going to have to put him down on Thursday. This will be the third family animal that we are having to say good bye to. First was my cat Scooter who I had from first grade so age 6 or 7 until I was 23, he grew up with me.. was my first love & child LOL. Then our beloved Booger he was our silly cat.. we used to eat pop tarts & have milk together in the morning before school.. we had him for almost as long as Scooter & he passed away in 2007. Then there is Zac our springer spaniel who my step father "Poppy" bought for my mom when I was in 7th grade. I remember going to the pet store with them to pick out a dog.. it was either Zac or a cute pug & we just fell in love with Zac. I remember getting him home & my mom taking him out to use the bathroom & he jumped in the pool. It scared my mom half to death & she jumped in with ALL her clothes on to save him.. not realizing her was born to swim in the pool. He swam in our pool more then any of us which I know thrilled my parents that the pool was finally getting its use. He was a hyper dog.. & could be a pain in the rear most the time.. but we are going to miss him so very much. My heart aches that I can't be there to say my good byes.. & to be there for my mom & Poppy.. loosing a pet is so hard, he is part of our family & he will be greatly missed. He lived a long happy life.. but good byes are never easy or something I have been good at.. so this is a hard one for me to except.. it wont really hit me until I visit Florida "Home" again & he is not there to great me :-(

Not Me Monday

 

So on Friday I went grocery shopping alone.. yes you heard me correctly ALONE.. no Shiloh or Stephen. I think this is probably only the second time I have ever done this since getting married or having Shiloh.. crazy right! Anyways.. on the way home I was stuck in traffic & behind an unmarked brown creepy van. It was beautiful day out so I had my sunroof open & windows down jamming to my music when I noticed the guy in the creep van staring at me.. I looked away really fast & when I looked back he had rolled his window up just so I could only see his eyes {creepy}. So it of course was NOT ME who starting having anxiety of the creeping van following me home & kidnapping me as I unload my car.. no I would never think that this creepy unmarked van had a driver that kidnaps people.. especially not mom's who have no make up on & her hair a mess.. I mean why would I ever think something so crazy.. I guess its because our country has turned into such a scary place & its NOT ME that now has a constant fear that lives within her on a daily basis.

So we have all been pretty sick in our house.. so sick that on Saturday I woke up with a fever of 102.. so it was NOT ME who in a panic call my mommy {yes I refer to her as mommy when something is wrong & I am not ashamed} asking her what could possibly wrong with me. I mean what 20 something still calls her mom when she is sick? I then did not almost start crying when she told me she thought I had strep.. no I would never be so afraid of a cold. So after hanging up with my mommy I get Shiloh & myself dressed & head to the urgent care. Once I arrived the front desk asked my symptoms.. & it was NOT ME who then replied in a whisper afraid others would hear me & freak out when I said "I think I have strep". Then it was NOT ME who then had to wear a mask while she waited to be seen either :-(

So my loving caring husband allowed me to sleep in on Sunday since for the last week Shiloh has been up every night due to her cough.. crying & having a hard time falling back a sleep & its been me getting her since Stephen has to work. So it was NOT ME who took full advantage of this & slept till almost noon.. no way what mom sleeps till noon unless she works a night shift.. not this mama! Thanks hubby I love you!

Well that is this weeks not me mama for ya! If you enjoy mine then you should head over to MckMama's & read some of the ones posted on her page as well!  

Have a wonderful week!

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.

Well I don't have much this week but here goes:

On Thursday it was Not Me who decided to take the freeway to B Boys house instead of the back roads knowing there would be morning traffic. It was also Not Me who then got off  the freeway only to go the wrong way & miss my turn because I was too impatient to wait for two dump trucks to turn. No I would never leave at 8:10 AM knowing that I had to be there by 8:30 AM, take the freeway, then exit, loose patients miss my turn & then show up 5 minutes late all because I didn't do what I should have in the first place.

I decided to make the Tire Boys some Valentines Day cookies something super easy. But it was Not Me me who decided to put them on a baking sheet with holes in it to have them baking but dripping to the bottom of the stove & burning. No I would never be so silly to think that would not happen. I would also never ask my Stephen to scrap it out while the cookies where still baking.. no Not Me. Oh & we cooked a pizza last night & of course the kitchen filled with smoke because it was Not Me who still has not cleaned the oven from the last baking experience so it is still burning the cookies that are still on the bottom of the stove.

So for some reason lately I have had a sweet tooth. I am not a big candy eater or one to snack so this is not normal for me. So it most definitely was Not Me who on Saturday night after watching Valentines Day the movie was craving Rolos like it was going out of style & then on our way home stop to buy two packs of Rolos. It also was Not Me who refused to share, not even when Shiloh sat there looking at me like "mama I know you have something I would like so why aren't you sharing?" I would never not share with my sweet baby & hide the evidence. I also would never sit there eating each one like it was the first bit of food I had in days or like they were heaven on earth.. nope I would never consume that much sugar in one sitting no Not Me.

It was Not Me who on Thursday had Wendy's & then on Friday have it again. I would never allow my child nor I to eat fast food two days in a row & if I did I would never go to the same one & order the exact same meal both times.

I went to Toys R Us on Friday to buy some door locks & sippy cups for Shiloh. So it was Not Me who took her down the doll isle & found the creepiest doll to buy for her because she loved it & the creepy noises it makes. I would never think a doll that babbles is cute & I especially would not buy her a new toy if she was having a terrible two's day either!

On Sunday we were all excited to attend our new church in our new town. We would normally attend the early mass but decided to go to the later one. I had checked the time online so it was Not Me who read it wrong & had my Stephen & Shiloh arrive at Church to find that it did not start for another hour. It was Not Me who then said lets go drive around for an hour & return only to drive around to have Shiloh fall asleep & then decide that church this week would be us driving around looking at houses instead so Shiloh could sleep.  I would never do such a thing nope Not Me.

Moving week has been one hectic week I tell ya.. I mean packing is hard especially with a toddler who loves to help mommy. As cute as it sounds that my baby girl wanted to help me.. it was Not Me who at one point was so frustrated with her packing things in the boxes.. like my cell phone, house phone, camera & remote that I actually wanted to cry because I had to tear them back open to retrieve these items & repack them & tape them.. no Not Me I have way more patients then that.

So one of my New Years Resolutions was to stop drinking soda.. well it certainly was Not Me who this week has had Dr. Pepper, Coke & Cherry Pepsi more times then I can count on one hand.. no way I would not be that powerless or fill my head with excuses as to why it was OK.. I mean moving doesn't mean rules get to be broken does it.. it is Not Me that is still pondering the answer to that.

So I like to think I am pretty fashionable.. I mean I have a fashion sense.. at least I am pretty sure I do.. anyways it was Not Me who left my house today in an outfit that I am sure the fashion police would ticketed me for.. I mean I would never wear 3 different types of black, Black capri yoga pants with my Black generic UGGs with my Black zip up hoodie.. no way I would never do something that hideous! LOL

So I am a girly girl.. I love all things girly.. I may not be one to wear a lot of dresses but I love perfume, hair products, make-up, lotions, facial cleaner, make-up brushes.. yada yada yada... but I would never have so much of this stuff that my entire vanity is filled with it to the point that it is bursting at the seems. I mean it is Not Me that could run a salon out of my house with all the product I have.. I would never look at it & actually think that just maybe I have a problem.. To be a cosmetic horder or not to be.. or maybe I am a just a pack rat.. hmmm.. the things that keep my mind going.

Well that is my Not Me Monday.. I hope you enjoy.. I am still unpacking & getting settled so it is Not Me who still can't be on here to post daily until my house is put together because it is Not Me who's OCD is getting the best of her.

~So on Monday I took Shiloh to the park & for a stroll In The Neighborhood.. it was such a nice day out. But we live in what I like to refer to the mini version of San Francisco.. its hilly to put it mildly. I will admit I am not in the greatest shape & on the way home it was Not Me who almost passed out from lack of air from pushing Shiloh up the hill to our house in her jogger stroller. It also was Not Me who pretended to have her mail key & then act surprised when I did not just so I could stop for a break. It also was Not Me who when she finally got to the garage get in & shut the door right away & then sit on the door stoop & allow Shiloh to roam the garage while I still tried to catch my breath. Nope it was Not Me who was so out of breath it actually scared me because I knew I had pushed my self way to far.

~I have been looking into babysitting for a family during the week to bring in some extra cash & to give Shiloh a playmate while at the same time filling my want for another baby.  So I had a call back to meet with a family on Friday at their home. I would never meet someone I have never met before at their home with my daughter & without my husband.. no Not Me. They seemed legit & like a nice family but it was Not Me who was up all night planning out what I would do if they were kidnappers or bad people. I mean it was Not Me who would think that I would ever be in a situation like that & it was Not Me who was starting rethink if I should go. Once I did get there I was relieved to see they were a normal family & not the kidnapping kind who would ever harm me.. so it was Not Me who felt like a complete idiot for ever thinking that way in the first place.


~Last but not least it was Not Me who deleted her blog & start a new one because she thought of a better name to call it & because she wanted her families names to be kept private. It is Not Me that is hoping that the name is more catchy & my post more intriguing. It is also not me who is absolutely in love with the new blog layout & colors & keeps going to it just to look at how pretty it is.. no way Not Me!

So all the Christmas decorations are down.. well except for our wreath. I would never be so lazy to walk by it almost daily & ignore its existence No Not Me!

So we all have bad habits. Mine seems to be saying "Oh S@#t" at times when things go wrong. Well it seems I may have passed my bad habit off to my child, because the other day {& no she has not done it since} she was walking around going "Oh Sit" which sounds a lot like "Oh S@#t" & it was Not Me or my husband who where laughing because this is the first time she has ever copied someone saying a curse word.

I love Claim Jumper its one of my favorite places to dine out to. It was Not Me who went there with my sister in law to get an appetizer & who told myself to eat healthy.. who ended up ordering nachos & the chocolate chip calzone.. nope it was Not Me I would never fall that far outside my eating healthy routine.

So as I have been posting we are moving, so things in our house lately have been a bit unorganized & left out. But I would never leave piles of cloths about the house that are clean. I would never have done this so that I would not have to search threw them for things & make a mess everytime because each pile seems to have something I need. No never Not Me!!

Last night as Shiloh was waiting for Stephen to bring her some Milky she was standing there with her hand in her diaper & it was Not Me who was laughing because once she was done she had plumbers crack & was walking around this way for a few minutes so I could get it on tape.. I would never allow my child to stick her hand in her diaper no Not Me!

Shiloh has been wearing a size 3 diaper for ever now since she was like 11 months. She is now 16 months. I recently bought her 4's because she falls within the weight limit. But I do have some 3's left over. I would never have my child wear a diaper that is too small or fitting. No Not Me I would never do this so I could make sure not to waste them.

The other night Shiloh kept waking up crying. For about an hour she would cry I would go in there tuck her back in & reassure her everything was OK & return to bed. We did this from 1am until finally at 2am I had enough. It was Not Me who broke her New Years resolution {No More Shiloh Sleeping In Our Bed} & ended up bringing her in our room at 2am because I was tired & wanted to sleep. {Like MckMama said} "I am gonna miss this" when she gets older she is not going to want to sleep & cuddle with me.. so its OK if I take advantage now right because one day I am gonna miss these moments where Shiloh needs me to hold her in my arms so she can go to sleep!!

It was Not Me who canceled her Dr appointment because she was avoiding to her about the fertility treatments & cost because she knows that right now we can not afford it & didn't even set up a date to reschedule no Not Me.

Shiloh had her 15 month check on Tuesday & it was Not Me who allowed her to run around screaming in our room while we waited for the Doctor. It was was Not Me who also allowed her to throw the books about making a mess in the doctors office either no Not Me :-)

It was Not Me on Friday who went to lunch with my sister in law & had carna asada knowing that it was going put me way over my calorie count for the day & put me on a bad eating cycle the rest of the weekend too no Not Me

It was Not Me who on Saturday made an appointment to speak to a lady about a home on the phone only to let it go to voice mail when she called because we had already decided on a place & who has still not called her back to let her know.. no I would never be so rude.. oops!


It is Not Me who is allowing Shiloh to watch cartoons today for hours while I call all of our utilities to get them transferred over to our new place no not me I would never allow that.

So this week is going to be short & sweet due to being ill & my brain not functioning at all!

It was Not Me who left my sister in laws house (who lives in a practically a 4 story home) put Shiloh in her seat only to realize that I left my wedding ring on the bathroom sink on the 4th floor to have to then take her out & run up all the stairs to get it.

It was Not Me who's New Years resolution was to eat healthier & on New Years day stuff my face full of McDonald's, Twizzlers, Carmel Chex Mix, Soda & Bugels on our way back to Washington from Oregon nope not me.

It was Not Me who made the statement "I never get sick no not me" & is now laying on her couch with a stuffy head, watery eyes, coughing & sneezing feeling like she was hit by a bus, wishing she could go back to bed but can't because she has to still be mommy & take care of her very active toddler who also seems to be getting sick as well.
