(There is a prize at stake for participating today!)
Are you feeling guilty for blogging about bodily functions and grossing out some of your readers? Overcome with embarrassment when your daughter lay down in the shallow end of the pool, in her dress, as you were leaving from your other children’s swimming lessons? Well, don’t be! Not Me! Monday was born out of my desire to admit some of my imperfections and reveal a few moments I’d rather forget. You may find it therapeutic to join in and do the same thing!
I’ll start!
This past week, I definitely didn’t record a voice memo on my phone to help me remember something for later, and then end the memo with, “Okay, see ya later.” Not me!
Nor did I go to soak some laundry in the sink next to our washing machine, forget to turn the water off and then promptly leave the house! Never. I didn’t get a call about an hour later from my husband who had been alerted to the flood after it was leaking into the ceiling of Nuggey’s bedroom downstairs. Not me!
This past week, I also didn’t blog about squirting breastmilk. I mean, sure lots of mothers can secretly relate, but who admits to that on their public blog!? Certainly not me!!!
So what do you say? Would you like to share what you have not been up to lately? If so, join the Not Me! Monday fun!

Monday today and send them the box of the great products.
Happy Not Me!-ing.
I love your Not Me! entries and your whole blog. But your Not Me!s give me the laughs that I so need sometimes. I haven’t done a Not Me! in awhile so that was fun – I’m #114.
When nursing my oldest I would take her along to the gym in the evenings…one such time she slept peacefully through my workout. I was fine until I took off my bra and proceeded to spray milk all over the lockers! I never did that again.
I continued to have milk after weaning all three of the kids……with one, I started up again a year later!
Um, yeah, I can relate to the breastmik thing, and um, nope, I’ve never blogged about it and it’s doubtful that I ever will, but you know what they say- Never say never…
Lol at the water leaking…I may or may not admit to doing something similar. Kim
I swam underneath the geese yesterday. At first, this was a “not me” because I thought of goose poop, etc. But then, after I blogged about it, it became a “yes me!” http://www.livewithflair.blogspot.com/
I did not watch my two year old stick his face in a muddy puddle and sip it, most certainly not.
Nor did I let him continue playing in it for the simple fact he was already dirty. No, never
I am a “wonderful” grandmother. I would never look away to talk to a friend at the sandbox while my 18 month old granddaughter was playing. And, if I was to look away, she would never take two fist fulls of sand and put them in her hair…no not her. And, in the same sandbox I would never let her walk over to the big boys (6 & 7 they said) who were playing and watch as she decided that one boys butt crack (low riding bathing suit) was a perfect place to quickly put some more sand! And then, I would also not let her fall face first and get a full mouthfull of sand. Not me, I always watch my granddaughter carefully and never allow her to be in situations that might cause me to laugh so hard I almost peed!!
I didnt take my 9 yr old daughter and niece to the beach for 5 days and they only showered the last night because after all chlorine kills everything.
I shared this before and actually several of your readers were sweet enough to offer their prayers… Due to myleopathy .I at one time lost total use of everything from the waist down and when it did work it was often without my knowledge.. as in the use of my bowels. Sorry for the TMI. I just wanted to say there are worse things then having to get up many times a night to use the bathroom and please just be careful in consuming too much salt in hopes of getting a better night sleep. In the long run that may do more harm than good. I also hate the many trips to the bathroom and at one time I had to do this http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003972.htm while recovering. Now I look at those many trips to the bathroom as a blessing and I thank God that I dont have to cath again. I was not expected to make a full recovery and when I look at so many people who have lived with what I faced and did not recover I realize I should be grateful. Today I am taking my daughter to a college orientation. I spent the morning trying to find what pair of Capri pants would hide the fact that I am in an adult diaper. Being in a new place and not familiar with where the bathrooms are located I am worried about an accident. I would hate for my daughter to have to deal with a mom who wet her pants today. So we do what we gotta do for our kiddos.. and thank God for the opportunity IMO..
I didnt take a training potty to the lake for my daughter, then toss out the poop into the trees, not me.
Thanks so much for this lol. I definitely needed this today. Following you on twitter and I can’t wait to come back again next Monday. Have a great day!
Oh man…I’ve totally done the leaving-the-water-on-and-causing-a-mini-flood thing!
nope I did not wait until two days before cub scout camp to turn in my sons medical form that was due 21 days before camp…and I didn’t feed my kids popcorn, soda and candy for dinner, Saturday night at the movies. Nope not me!!!
I thought I was the only one that left messages to myself like that. Glad to know I am in good company.
I have forgotten that I turned the water on to fill up the pool and then gone to bed. Woke up at 2 am wondering what that noise was and rushed outside to a flooded patio. Not the best way to wake up.
Thanks for hosting!
I don’t have a blog set up (yet), but I do have a funny “not me” to share. I definately have NOT been buying MYSELF Burger King kids’ meals just because I want the Twilight Eclipse toys that they are giving out. I mean, I would NEVER buy something meant for a child, especially not something this huge that everyone else wants too. I don’t ride bandwagons like that. And even if I were to follow this huge fad, I most certianly wouldn’t be obsessive over it. NOT ME!
Hehe, funny!
We squirt breast milk here as well sometimes — when daddy isn’t looking
So you mean to tell me that I will have breast milk months after L finally self-weans? Actually, I don’t mind fuller breasts, so yay!

I have done the same thing with reminder emails to myself…
chances are, I don’t need to sign them, :Thanks! Heather:
LOL…ahem. I mean I am not laughing at the fact that I have done the same thing (leaving a message and then saying see ya later). Only difference is I said I love you.
