Not Me! Monday, Vol 2
When painting Little Girl's finger- and toe-nails bright pink, Little Boy became very interested in proceedings. To the point of begging, pleading, then insisting on having his toes painted too.
I most certainly did NOT paint my young son's toenails a (nearly) invisible shade of pink. Not me!
When Little Girl forgot to use the bathroom at home before I took the kids swimming, I did not over-react when she had to go as soon as we got to the pool because of my irrational disgust with pool restrooms (Is this sentence long enough yet?). (Or maybe it isn't so irrational - I did work as a lifeguard one summer and probably know too much for my own mental health.)
And then I definitely did not start ranting when Little Boy splashed his hands in the water on the floor in front of the toilet Little Girl was using, and then smeared the nasty water all over his face! That crazed-looking mother frantically scrubbing her toddler's already-sun-screened face with soap while scolding the Little Girl about obeying mommy and germy bathrooms? Absolutely not me. No way.
(And Little Boy did not catch a summer cold within two days of the aforesaid pool incident. No sir-ee. No connection whatsoever.)
Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

Isn't it incredible and amazing all the things that one little boy can do, one thing right after the other thing, that can make a mom go nuts???? It's hard to stay on top of it. Especially when it comes to poop and potty training.
As an aside, Mary Jo Vinal (Brooks) and I want to come see you soon or meet somewhere either with our kids or just us ladies. More later on that.
oh ick! Smeared the water on his face! Oh my!!!
Loving this series by the way!
Love ya,

Okay, I was doing all right until the thing about little boy smearing the ucky water on his face. It was then that I lost it! Good thing Dad was the only one within hearing distance. And he heard my disgust from down the hall. I think I must be a little out of practice. It has been a few years. Now all my girls are refined and ladylike women - most of the time!
