(Remember the art of reading a “Not Me” post. Simply omit the words in bold text to understand our true actions that we are too proud to admit straight up.)
While we were watching a DVD last week, Matthew (9) saw a Twinkie on the screen. He did not ask what it was. Then when Mark told him that it was a Twinkie, Matthew did not follow up with, “What is a Twinkie?”
I was not secretly pleased with his lack of knowledge about this junk food only to hear Mark tell me to be sure to add Twinkies to our grocery shopping list in order to educate our sheltered, homeschooled children about the finer things in life.
I am not concerned that Mark’s GPS is trying to take us out since it continually insists that we turn left in middle of a certain, very high bridge in Rugby, TN.
This is not what my children consider a matched pair of socks. 
So Mark did not find them neatly folded together in his drawer, ready to wear.
Can you believe that for the first time in weeks and weeks our family was semi-normal, so not too much to post for “Not Me”? Well, except for the fact that the notorious rug, yes the very same rug that has already been featured in two “Not Me” posts is out on the deck rail. in the rain. again.
I’m not even going to try to deny it. Why bother? The rug and I already have a substantial history on this blog, so go read about it (click on “notorious rug” to read the rugs “Not Me” Debut and then click on “the very same rug” for the follow up) and then see if you can guess what event could have caused the rug another fateful trip out to the back deck rail. I don’t think you’ll guess, but I’ll give you a hint, I will be posting pictures.

Twinkies!! Hahahaha! Dave does this as well – “be sure to give them some of my donuts and Pop-Tarts so they don’t feel left out” – “sure, you can taste one of Daddy’s pork-rinds”.

Twinkie protection! Just one more reason for homeschooling;)

My kids totally would match socks the same way! Great NMM!

My kids don’t know what twinkies are either, and I don’t care.

AHA! so it’s {not} just our kids that match socks like that! Of course, our youngest functional [for sock matching] child just turned 11 while I suspect you may have turned loose someone as young as pre-school-age, so if it HAD happened at your house, you would have had a bit more of an excuse than we have!

LOL at the twinkie thing, I wonder what he’ll think about them if the make it off the list and through the check out line? We home schooled two years and my DH always wanted to make sure the kids were fully exposed to the finer things in life! Of course now they are getting it all!
You have a beautiful family by the way!

Thanks for visiting my blog! Looks like you have a great blog! I’ll definitely be back to read more about your OAMC recipes. I love the socks!

I would never buy twinkies; only Little Debbie here! Hey, at least the socks are the same color. Good thing I don’t have a blog; too many free laughs at my expense!!

You know, I have never actually had a twinkie before. Must be something about homeschoolers. Oh, and I don’t believe that it was a semi-normal week, there must be something that happened that you are trying to hide.

I agree every child should try a twinkie at least once. I personally limit the quantity my kids have of such nutrious treats by consuming most of them myself. I know, its a sacrafice but that’s what moms are for.
As for the socks…that’s what my husband would consider matched lol
