Not Me! Monday

-
I've never participated in MckMama's Not Me! Monday before, but here we go...

  • I did not travel from eastern Nebraska to eastern Wyoming with my husband & kids (and little sister for half the trip) while being very sick. I wouldn't put my germs in such close proximity for everyone.
  • My husband and boys did not end up sick by the time we arrived back home yesterday. No Moose doesn't have another ear infection and Squirt is not hacking up a lung today.
  • I did not skip my workouts with lame excuses like "I'm sick" and the elevation is too high. I wouldn't do that!
  • I didn't eat horribly either. I wouldn't eat chips, cookies, candy, and fattening fast foods all weekend - and let my family, too. That wouldn't be healthy.
  • I did not end up crying because I was so frustrated on our trip home. And the baby didn't cry (almost) literally all the way home. He would not take 5 - 15 minute cat naps rather than a good nap. No, he's so good; he'd never do that.
  • I did not swear off going on vacation this summer. No, I wouldn't do that; who wouldn't want to travel with a crying baby and whiny toddler? Me of course!
  • I did not take pictures off of my dad's iPod (of my kids & myself) & post them on Facebook. And he didn't call me this morning to take them down (and email me).
  • My FIL did not offer to set up $500 CDs in my boys' names. He couldn't be that sweet (ok, he really is). That is so not a blessing.
  • I am not sitting here praying that the baby would take his second nap sooner rather than later. I'm not counting the hours/minutes/seconds until Big A comes home. No, I'm Super Mommy; I'd never do that.
Alright, not a bad effort for my first time. Head on over to MckMama's to enjoy more Not Me! Monday fun.

MOB Society: Bragging on Boys

-

Like my friend Erin shared in her "bragging" post, I don't necessarily want to "brag" about my boys but I am overjoyed at some of their accomplishments recently! So I will share with you! Moose is doing wonderfully at school. We moved him to the afternoon classroom and his teacher said that his behavior problems that they saw in the morning have virtually disappeared. Great! Twice last week (once at school and once at Sunday School) his teachers told me that he shared with someone. What a sigh of relief that one is; sharing is so hard but to know that what I'm implementing at home is working (even the itsy bitsiest bit!) is a relief.  I've noticed that baby toys are most enjoyed by the older crowd. Moose is also reading! I got the sight word list that kindergarteners start off with from his teacher - he read them all for me this morning. I bought a Chuggington book for him on their last book order - he read it by himself after only having it read...

Big A is forever telling me to not say certain things on the road. Don't call me dear. Don't gasp or shout; I'll think there's a deer. Although these are paraphrased (and he claims he's never said the first one), these are the basis for this tale. We went to the Husker game last night. Scratch that - we worked at the Husker game last night. We helped his aunt (and her church) sell backrests as a fundraiser. Big A has done this most of last year & all of this year so far. He loves it. You sell backrests until kickoff, then you watch the game, and pick up the rests after. You're there 90 minutes before game time and for about an hour or so after the game. And you sometimes get leftover food (Runzas and hotdogs and popcorn - please fine out what a Runza is for those of you who aren't from Nebraska....it's so yummy!). Anyway...we went to the game & a few of our friends helped pick up the chairs voluntarily after so (with that help plus our amazing sp...
