Still,”Not Me Monday” pushes on…
You know, I haven’t been feeling to well all the time lately, and so some of the housework has suffered. This last week, it was the laundry. Something had to give as I was trying to hold the rest of the house together! So enjoy all of the laundry themed “Not Me’s” of the week:
I did not have a babysitter over the other day and feel the need to make my house look somewhat presentable, so I took all of the clean laundry up to my bedroom so it wasn’t spread all over the couch in the den. After I didn’t stash the still-not-folded laundry, my daughter did not lay down on the couch and ask “Mommy, when did we get this couch?”
Adding onto that “Gretchen hasn’t been behind on laundry” theme (which by the way is about caught up since Knut’s been home this weekend and was able to help with the kids more) I was not out of clean socks to wear the other day and needed some since I was on my way to town, and I did not just go into my son’s drawer, and take some of his socks since they’re so stretchy, I can make them fit. I do not know that his size socks are so stretchy because this has been done before. What, do you think I go around trying on my kids’ socks out of desperation? Not me! When David saw my socks, we did not have a conversation like this:
David: “Mommy, those look like my socks!”
Me: “Yes, they sure do look like your socks, don’t they?”
David: “Mommy, I think you’re wearing my socks.”
Me: “My socks look just like yours, don’t they? Isn’t that fun?”
David: “Mommy, you’re wearing my socks.”
Me: “That’s right, David, I’m wearing socks that look just like yours.”
Further:
I did not pull a load out of the dryer as I was catching up on laundry on Saturday, only to find one of the kids had put a ball of my 100% wool yarn from my store stash in with the load. There was not strings of very felted yarn binding up the whole load into one large felted mess! Argh!
I did not look through Elias’ diapers and feel bad that he has all of my “practice diapers” that I learned to sew diapers with. All the mistakes, the boring white, etc. Here I had all of these fun diapers for sale in my store, and he had all of these awful ones! I was just sick of changing his diaper places and people saying “are these the diapers you make?” and shamefully answering “No, these are the diapers I practiced on. The ones I sell are MUCH nicer!” So I marched right on over to my store stash, and did not just grab 2 new diapers for Elias, so that he could wear some of my best as well. (They are his favorite diapers, by the way! So bright and cheery!)
I did not happen to be out of clean diapers when I made this decision to get him 2 more either. That did not have any bearing on my decision. At all. If that were the case…it would have to be by mere coincidence.
