I did not allow the ant farm on the table during dinner, nope not me. Who wants to eat while watching a bunch of ants scurrying and digging, well, except for my husband and 9 children?
When I discovered that the children were digging their hole to China at the base of our slide, I was not less-than-thrilled. I mean who wouldn’t want to slide all the way to China? I am not going to make them fill in their giant hole and start all over again, back in the woods, not me.
I did not dress my 10 month old in a Christmas outfit in March. I always dress my children in season appropriate clothing and their outfits always match.
I do not encourage allow our 2 year old to run around in his underwear just because I think he looks way too cute in his boxer briefs.
When I brought the rug in from the deck rail, I did not discover bird poop on it. I am a devoted mother, so did not balk at the idea of cleaning up after a BIRD.
When packing for our trip I did not forget to pack my hose and shoes for church. After all I only had one outfit to pack.
When I took my camera outside to play a game with the children, one of the children did not ask if we were doing it for the blog.

I really have enjoyed reading your blog this morning! “Not me” is fantastic and very encouraging to me that there are others out there who go through the same “not me” moments! I love being mom to three very curious little boys and really appreciate all others who are so open to share your lives so others may be encouraged! What a blessing your family has been to mine this morning!
