As we were eating our dinner of chicken, vegetables and brown rice on Wednesday one of the children did not say, “Mom, it looks like there is a worm in my rice.”
If someone had discovered a worm in their rice it would certainly have been a figment of their imagination and not an actual grub/worm/gross thing in our dinner. We did not end up throwing out the rest of the rice. *shudder*
Since there are no vivid imaginations here, Kaitlin (12) did not think to dress up like a pirate’s bride, wooden leg and all.
Friday morning our children did not have chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast. Our children always get a healthy start to their day and that does not include CHOCOLATE (unless of course ice cream is the main course.)
When we give Nicholas (1) an ice cream cone he does not eat every last bit of cone before he begins to eat the ice cream and we certainly do not laugh at his mess and the leftover pile of ice cream.
Things I did not say this week:
- Please do not lick the carpet.
- Oh Nick, don’t drink the water from the potty, that’s yucky!
You may want to read about how we memorize scripture with our children, stay prepared when we are in the car or homeschool with little ones around.

I think I may have to take a break from eating rice after reading that! Blech.
Happy Monday!

One crisp fall day we sat down to the dinner table for a spaghetti dinner. The week before the children had gathered acorns and made napkin rings out of them. We stored them between meals in our nice antique linen dresser. While we were enjoying our SPAGHETTI, Jeff noticed some wiggly things on our dining room table. MAGGOTS were crawling around our table and on our napkins. Seems maggots were living in our acorns! The entire dresser had to be cleaned out and fumigated! Acorns will not come in this house again.

Eewww, thanks for the heads up about the acorns. My kids love to bring acorns into the house. I’m going to have to rethink that.

Oh My Word! I don’t think I would be able to eat rice for along time =) I love the pirate Costume!

EWWW! That has actually happened to me before too! Now I always put our rice into an airtight container the minute we get home from the store!
I suppose it is always possible for something to be in there before, but so far, I have not had that problem. Oh yea, and it took us all along time to eat rice again!

I am so glad mine was not the only one who ate something from the toilet or licks the carpet
[Reply]
NOT me too! I keep my rice in the freezer now. “Don’t lick the carpet.” I think I’ve heard that one here, too!
[Reply]
Wow I am glad you didn’t say those things to your kids, I didn’t have to ask my kids whose vampire teeth were on the kitchen table either. Its is amazing the things you don’t have to say when you have kids.

Oh my goodness, a worm!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve had the worms and kids drinking from the toilet. I’m glad to know it’s not only me!!

No, no, it is just you. Those things would NEVER happen here.

And I most definitely did not have to say (several times) “Stop eating the dog’s food.”

Thanks for the bay leaves tip. I’m going to have to try that!
[Reply]
I just laughed out loud! You are seriously hilarious!! Love your not me MOnday posts. I skipped this week I am so bad!!
[Reply]
Yes the bay leaves do work in my experience, I put them in my flour bin to keep the weevils out. You only need a few leaves. In many cultures grubs are on the menu… I can’t imagine!

I am so glad you don’t do any of these things, just like me! : )
