Not Me Monday - 21st Edition

If I'm posting a picture of my daughter wearing my underwear* then it must be Monday - Not Me Monday to be exact. You can read more Not Me posts over at MckMama's blog. People all over the world air their dirty laundry so-to-speak in a therapeutic sort of way.


While Sam was at school one morning Julia and I worked on the mountain of laundry that forms throughout the week. I ran downstairs to answer the doorbell and came back up to find her wearing an ensemble similar to this one. I did not ask her to recreate the outfit so I could take a picture. Not me!

*Those are not OldNavyMaternityUnderwear. The last time I was pregnant was almost 2 1/2 years ago, so they are definitely regular ol' undies.

Since I already admitted I took a picture of Julia in an oh so flattering outfit, I might as well share this photo too. Sam informed me that Julia had pulled a bunch of toilet paper off the role so I yelled down the hall for her to roll it back up. Here's my 2 year old's best effort:

We did not use that roll bit by bit until it was all gone so a whole roll didn't go to waste. Not this family!

We're all about saving money where we can these days so when I couldn't find my phone Saturday morning I started to panic, equally scared as this time. I took the kids to a HUGE free event in our old town and I had thought I'd left my phone in the car by mistake. When we trudged out to the car afterwards I rummaged through the car for my phone but couldn't find it. I seriously considered taking the kids back inside even though it would require carrying almost 80 pounds of kids a loooooong ways. I needed my phone. I didn't have a choice but then I had a thought...what if it fell on the ground when I opened the door?
My phone was not laying under my car, in the snow, directly in line of the tires for 2 hours. There was no way I had an important voice mail from PapaBear waiting for me. Nope. That stuff never happens to me! I always know where everything is.
At. all. times.

What didn't you do this week?
