My 300th post! (And of course, Not Me! Monday)

It's hard to believe that this is my 300th post!

Wow! That's a whole lot of talkin'! I am so excited! I need to think of something to celebrate the occasion with my bloggy friends. Hmmm...maybe another giveaway is in the near future.

But now it's time to read about all the things that I did not do this week!

1) I did not sit in my family room one day this week and pretend I was "Jeannie" from I Dream of Jeannie and blink my eyes while nodding my head in the hopes that maybe, just maybe, my house would magically appear cleaned. That would be crazy. I am a very stable girl who surely knows that the blinking of eyes while nodding does not produce a clean house.

2) I did not have a Smart One (Weight Watchers Brand so no cheating) Key Lime pie at midnight one day this week. After eating said pie, I absolutely did not lick the small plastic tray the pie came in so that I could make sure I got every last bit since the portions seem to be created for ants. There is no way I’d do something so disgusting. My Mama taught me good table manners and I always use them, even when I’m left starving after being teased with a 2-bite pie.

3) I did not completely convince my 4 year old son that being a doctor was the most amazingly, terrific Halloween costume in the whole world, just because it was on sale for $12.99. I did not roll my eyes and sigh heavily when I noticed the price tag on the one that he really wanted. It was $39.99 and not even a good costume. That sure was not me! A good mother would encourage her child to follow through on his dreams and imagination and not think about the cost.

4) I did not try on Anna Grace’s Halloween costume and fall madly and completely in love with how magnificently, beautiful she looked in it. I did not think that her million-dollar smile would melt every heart she’d encounter as she trick-or-treats through the neighborhood. I also did not tear up and wish with all my heart that I could smother her with hugs and kisses and tell her how much I loved her, without fearing what the next day would be like. (Off the record: Someday I know I'll be able to....I just know it!)

5) I did not attempt to trim AJ’s hair only to have “slipped” with the trimmers and ended up having to shave it all off. After my last hair fiasco, I was completely convinced that I should stay away from everyone’s hair. I was not trying to be frugal when I decided I would cut it myself. That would be absurd and cheap. Therefore, it was not me! He does not still look completely A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E!!!!

6) I know that it was not me that took AJ into the bathroom at the dentist office to change his poopy diaper, only to realize after uncovering such a mess that the stench was so bad that I was completely embarrassed. It also was not me that took said diaper with me into the car so that I could throw it out in a garbage can at the gas station down the street., only to forget to do so. Instead, it was not me that went straight home, took the kids out of the car and closed up the car. There is no way that I would have left that stinky, reeking, poopy diaper, that by now had rolled under the seat in the locked car, in the garage in Florida's 90 degree weather for 2 days. I know that no one would ever accuse me of doing such a thing, especially when we went to get in the car for a family outing with Scott and we opened the door the smell almost knocked us over. We did not have to drive with the windows down in the rain and our heads hanging just so that we could breathe fresh air, while I listened to sweet husband scold me the entire way. That would be totally disgusting and nasty. It was not me!
