Not Me, Monday

By The Mind Filled on May 4, 2009 • ( 3 )

Not Me Mondays is a blog carnival created by MckMama in which I tell you all the things that have happened in the past week that I am NOT guilty of. You can click on that big orange button above this to participate and see what everyone else has NOT been up to.

Being a mother who wants her children to have some sort of class and trying to raise my children to be ladies, I did NOT allow the oldest to play naked outside, because this just is unladylike! Therefore since I did NOT allow that type of behavior, the following picture was never taken.
In keeping with the ladylike image that I am trying to teach my girls, I did NOT allow the oldest to go without panties to the grocery store (because we had a little accident in the panties we left the house in) in which she did NOT pull her dress up a dozen times in front of other shoppers showing her “stuff”. She did NOT do this because I have effectively taught her about modesty.
After days of rain and backyard flooding, I did NOT allow both girls to sit for hours in front of the television, watching Ratatouille back to back. I did NOT do something like this because I always have plenty of indoor activities planned and would NOT resort to digital babysitting.
Because of the backyard flooding, I did NOT allow Sam (the dog) to go in the front yard to use the bathroom. I did NOT silently cheer when he chose to poop in the neighbor’s yard. I did NOT think it served them right for always letting their dog pee on my mailbox, killing the spruce I have planted there.
After cleaning play dough stains off the kitchen floor, I did NOT throw it all away and tell the oldest I did not know where it was. This would be misleading to her and I would NEVER throw away any toy/craft that was too loud, too messy or generally irritating to deal with.
After Bug playing too loud with her imaginary kitty cat (see this post) and it constantly running away. I did NOT put the “kitty” in a box for time out and ban them from playing together.
