Not Me Monday...Camping Edition

Today's Not Me Monday is going to be a hunting/camping version because I would NEVER write a post about how much I HATED strongly disliked my first camping experience.  We actually didn't camp out in tents we stayed in an OLD camper which didn't have running water.  I would certainly NEVER complain from the second we arrived at the camp site.  I would NEVER beg my husband almost to tears to bring me back home on the first day.  I also would NEVER bring my designer handbag and shoes on a camping trip thinking I might have some use for them.  I would NEVER take my laptop and even hope that there would be some kind of internet service in the middle of nowhere. 

I did however enjoy taking pictures of the red dirt roads that lead to NOTHING but cactus. 

I also would NEVER allow my daughters to run on a path that leads to the unknown.

                                    

As you can tell my girls are WAY under the age of 16 so I would NEVER let them play on a ATV that is made for adults.

                                      

...or let them drive away in it

                                        

ok...I really didn't let them drive away...honest! And finally, since it was freezing (35 degrees...freezing to me) I would NEVER put a hunting mask on my child who was cold in the morning.

                                                 

I would really NEVER complain this much!

"Not Me!" Monday

"Not Me!" Monday was started by MckMama, you can read about it here on her blog. I always read them, but have never wrote one myself although it wouldn't be too hard for me with 3 small children. So here I go...my first "Not Me!" Monday post. (don't judge...most mammas know where I am coming from)

This last week we went to Houston for my cousin's graduation and I took the girls to the neighborhood pool to play. I DID NOT forget to put the baby in a swimming diaper, and I certainly DID NOT totally ignore the big sign on the wall that said "NO disposable diapers". After she was done playing I DID NOT ignore the other mom's stares when they saw her saggy diaper.

On the way to Houston the baby was crying in the back seat, and was driving my mom crazy. I DID NOT hand her a can of Dr. Pepper so she would stop crying. I would never do anything like that.

I DID NOT let my two older daughters swim although they had pink eye, and I would NEVER feed them hot dogs for lunch 3 days in a row! Nope NOT ME!!

And finally while writing this post I DID NOT ignore the fact that my 3 year old was trying the change the cover on the changing table because it had poopie on it. I DID NOT let the baby run around in her diaper, and I would NEVER let Celeste wear a bikini around the house. No NEVER! I also DID NOT just ignore the girls drawing on their belly's with markers this morning.
