Have you ever washed deli meat?

Well that's what I did tonight for the boys dinner.

Let me rewind....

Boys, what do you want for dinner?

We want turkey and cheese sandwiches.

I get out the bread, turkey, cheese and mayo and start making two sandwiches. The mayo and cheese are now on the bread, when I open the turkey package and get a whiff of a pepper smell. I say "Oh shit!" and Bryson wants to know whats wrong. I tell him I bought the wrong turkey, and then I sat there for a spit second thinking what I could do. I check the fridge for another package of turkey and no such luck so then I decided to do what ANYONE would do right?? I wash the turkey with water to get the pepper off. I then proceed to make two very delicious clean turkey sandwiches.

Eat up boys!!

Not Me Monday

It's time again for

I absolutely DID NOT lie to Bryson and tell him all the brownies were gone just so that I could have the last one. After all we teach our kids to not lie so I would never lie in front of them, or better yet to them.

I WAS NOT relieved to find out the reason Bryson was in trouble one day at school this last week. Because when the teacher has to talk to you about your son's behavior it's usually never good. SIDE NOTE: Bryson is reading at such a high level after he was done with all his paper work he was suppose to read special books of a higher level and he decided to roll around on the carpet and rough house with one of his pals. They both got in trouble.

After said behavior I DID NOT reward him by letting him play with the Wii when he got home. Though I did ground him from his DS ;)

Head on over to My Charming Kids.

Not Me Monday!

It's time again for Not me Monday with My Charming Kids



While shopping at the grocery store I absolutely DID NOT duck behind a middle food kiosk when I saw someone I didn't want to talk to. I also DID NOT find it hilarious that Carter my three year old was laughing at me and saying in a really loud voice "Mom, what are you doing? Hiding?"

I also DID NOT allow my child to wear the same pair of jeans three days in a row because he wanted to and kept reassuring me that "Mom, they aren't dirty." Because who lets their kids wear the same clothes over and over just to get out of doing more laundry. NOT ME!

While shopping at Target the other morning I DID NOT allow Carter to have a chocolate brownie for breakfast, Because who lets their child have a chocolate brownie for breakfast JUST BECAUSE the popcorn machine wasn't working. After all popcorn is better than brownies right? It is made from corn. *grin*

What have you NOT DONE this week?

Not Me Monday!

It's time for NOT ME MONDAY with My Charming Kids



After last weeks Not Me Monday I realized there are a lot of things that I didn't do.

I DID NOT wake up at 2am one morning dreaming about french toast. After all I am NOT pregnant.

I also DID NOT laugh at my three year old when he walked out wearing shorts with socks and crocs on. Because the thought of Joe seeing him like that is just hilarious. That's a rule in this house, you can wear crocs with socks but not with shorts.

We had a spouse event here on the Air Force Base and I absolutely DID NOT laugh at myself when we had to take off our shoes and I was wearing different color socks. Here is a picture of those socks I was NOT wearing.


I am still NOT jumping up and down with joy with my doctors decision.

I also just DID NOT catch my cat humping my leg because dogs do that not cats.

What have you NOT DONE lately?

Not Me! Monday

I have been reading other blogs that post about a NOT ME Monday. It's a list of things there is NO way I did this week.

Go on over to her blog and check out all the other NOT ME MONDAYS'S out there.


I most certainly DID NOT try to talk myself out of taking the kids to see Madagascar II because I didn't really want to sit through a kid movie for an hour and a half. Because that would just be wrong and then I would be a bad mom.

I most certainly DID NOT drive an hour to the big city to buy a car seat I have had my eye on for a few months even if it was cheaper because that's not wasting gas at all.

And I most certainly DID NOT justify driving that hour to eat at one of my favorite restaurant McAlister's because who drives an hour just eat at a restaurant...NOT ME.

I most certainly DID NOT agree with Bryson when he came up to me and said "Mom do you wish dad was here to wipe Carter's butt?" because there are many more important reasons I miss him.

And I DID NOT contemplate taking a picture of Carter's favorite shirt that he decided to cut a hole in with a pair of scissors. Because then he would think that I thought it was a good idea.

I also DID NOT let my 6 year old bring over his Nintendo ds to my friends house that was cooking me dinner so that he would be still and not run around all crazy. Because my kids are angels and don't need electronics to make them behave.

What did you NOT DO this past week?
