Don’t let your calendar fool you, I am not posting a “Not Me, Monday” on a Wednesday.
I did not procrastinate doing a “not me” post because I had too many things that I wished I could deny this week. I am not going to skip most of those things.
As I was changing the baby’s dirty diaper I did not think, “Whoever gave the baby a whopping pile of raisins for a snack should be the one who cleans up this mess and rinses out the diaper in the toilet.” Nope, not me. I was thankful that one of my children had kindly given the baby something to eat. I was not ungrateful to the snack-giver 3 more times during that day and 2 the next. Did I mention the generous serving size?
My friends in real life have not been checking out my hair to see if they could tell that I stopped using shampoo over a week ago. No one that I know in real life actually reads my blog and I’m sure that no one is addicted. (What are you doing here? Get off the computer.)
My children did not tell me that my hair looks like wool!? They did not think that that was actually a nice compliment because, you know, wool is curly.(?) This did not make me self-conscious in the least. After all, I’m brave enough to blog about not washing my hair with shampoo, I can handle an odd compliment from my children. 
(It doesn’t really look like wool, does it?)
When I went in to check to see if my 2year old was finished using the toilet, he did not hold out his hand like a stop sign and say, “Not yet, not yet.” The family was not sitting around the dinner table when this occurred and we did not spend the next few minutes rehashing other funny bathroom tales and laughing.
With all the amazing, wonderful and practical information on this blog, my “not me” posts are not everyone’s favorite. I know my readers come back for my amazing intellect, not just to laugh at me. Right? Right?

Hi! Did you all go to a TEA Party today? My dh works for the American Family Association which is one of the big sponsors. We had a good local turnout and we have sunkissed faces as well. We were in the mood for a real good time as we just found out this morning that we owe waaay more taxes than we thought. Now I think we are filing an extension to figure out what we left of from deductions. Dh is partially self-employed and what he makes is quickly eaten up in taxes. Urghhh!

Ok, The Not me Monday posts are my favorite. Sorry Kimberly, what are friends for? You know I really like those the best because you are waaayyy too perfect to be my friend anyway and it is nice to see a few bumps in your road. Seriously, I didn’t need the visual on the raisin diaper. I am still gagging. :>) I have a question: Would you mind asking some readers to post summer outings with the kids ideas? I thought of picnicing (is that a word) in a different place around the area twice a month or something. I need fun, free, fun ideas. Thanks, and if you start posting about not brushing your teeth I will have to draw the line. Lori

Of course I love not me Monday! So often, I get to think, “oh, good, I’m not the only one!”. After which I prompty tell nobody, just in case we’re the only two like that
. And wool hair is a definite compliment. Most likely your children picked that up out of the Bible, where hair looking like a flock of sheep was considered a grand compliment.

Could not resist, Google is trying to sell shampoo on your site.

That’s so funny. At my house it’s the other way around. My one-year-old gets the raisins out and shares them with his older brother.

No it does not look like wool. I think it’s lovely!
Thanks for visiting my blog!

Raisins! AAAAAAA! Oh, that has always been my bane! Thankfully my 2 year old chews her raisins now – and I *DID* have olders change the diapers they “caused” – it only took a few times and suddenly they became the best raisin police ever! Besides limiting portion sizes
, we taught them to cut the raisins in half, or at least pierce the skin with a fingernail – that seemed to help. Otherwise, it was simply a rapid rehydration

My favorite part of not me Monday is reading the comments. You all have me in stitches.

No, not me, I wouldn’t drop in to ONLY read not me posts. I have far too much free time to only do that.
