It’s Monday morning and there has not been much going on around here lately.  A mother of four small children would not have much to write about from the past week but I’ll do my best!  If you want to read what everyone else has not been doing then head over to My Charming Kids and find out!

All 10 of my loyal blog readers know that I am amazing challenged in the kitchen.  I am pretty sure that I at least have the basics down though.  So that was not me that set our newly purchased toaster oven on fire and left a big black mark on it that won’t come off.  And later in the week when I decided I wanted an egg salad sandwich for lunch I did not go to my computer and google “how to boil an egg” before I could get started.  Everyone already knows how to do this so that would be ridicuous if I did not know how.  Not me!

While I was feeding my little leach angel baby this week I sat down to watch some tv with the boys.  They were watching the show “Kai-lan” on Nick Jr..  I did not pretend to know how to speak Chinese the rest of the day by saying “Ni Hao” to everyone I came in contact with in an effort to show that I am multi-lingual!  I would never think of going into our favorite donut shop and saying this to the owner (who by the way is Vietnamese and not Chinese)!  Not me!

All the mommies out there of many children can probably relate to this one.  So, why is it that we could stay at home all day long and no one ever need to go to the bathroom but the minute I go get in line to pick up older boy from school suddenly everyone has to go?  And that is after I made them all go before we left the house (which is only 5 minutes away)!  It is a bit frustrating when you have a lot of kids in your car and you have just secured yourself a nice spot at the front of the pick up line!  What mother in her right mind would want to give up that highly coveted spot to run a boy home to use the potty?!  I really do work hard to keep some decency and “couth” (as my Mom always said) in our lives.  So that was not me that rolled down my window, dumped out my Ozarka water bottle, and called a certain child to the front of the car, told him to duck down between the seats and to pee in said bottle right in front of older boy’s school.  Nope, not me!

My sweet middle boy graduated from preschool on Thursday.    I did not remember 30 minutes before he had to be there that he has 2 teachers and I had only bought a gift for just one of them!

My sweet, handsome, masculine big hearted husband is not terrified of china dolls and oompa loompas.  So I would not waste precious moments of our lives teaching the children the words to the “Oompa Loompa” song so that I could record it to torment him with.  That would be downright childish and something I would not do!  Not me!

I did not type this entire post with one hand while holding my precious angel baby in the other.  Not me!
