Not Me! Monday

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.

I did NOT try to stick my bank card in the receipt slot when I got gas the other day. Luckily I put the gas nozzle in the right place! lol

I did NOT just find Duke chewing on Jimmy's Foogo sippy cup! Arrgh! Luckily no damage was done.

I did NOT put my seedlings outside (sheltered in the shed) to harden them off and then find them dead. I am NOT that silly and I did NOT not think about planting them and then putting a cut off milk jug over them to act as a mini greenhouse. Oops. Off to buy some tomato plants =)

I am NOT super tired from a long weekend and I totally did NOT let Jimmy skip his naps on both Saturday AND Sunday!

I am NOT now trying to get Jimmy to take a nap after 2 days of no naps and he is NOT resisting.

Happy Mother's Day

I know it is late, but I still wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Mother's Day. I hope all you mothers had a very wonderful day with your families. And I hope the mommies who have lost loved ones had great days too, even though they may be very sad for losing loved ones. I lost my mom 3 years ago, so it is a difficult day for me. But it was also a very lovely day spent with my in-laws and then my Dad and step-mom Kathy.

Here are a couple pics of my mom:

Not sure if she was married yet, but she is probably 18 or 19 in this pic:



And here are myself, my Oma (mom's mother) and my mom, 3 generations, at my high school graduation =)


Happy Mother's Day to my mommy, I miss you! And also, I want to say happy Mother's Day to my step-mom Kathy, my mother-in-law Karen, my very good friend Joy Marie, my Oma, and my Grandma. I love you all very much and am so blessed to have you all in my life!

And.....Happy Mother's Day to all my bloggy mommy friends!

VGNO - Happy Mothers Day

It's that time again! Time for Virtual Girls Night Out, hosted by the wonderful Ann at Ann Again... and Again. It is a night full of pj wearing, blog hopping, new friend meeting, blog buddy chatting, game playing fun! And DON'T FORGET to head over to JAM's for even more fun, its an all around good time! =)

I am a bit late tonight, we had a long day and I just got little Jimmy into bed. I have been in kind of a "blah" mood all day, so I need this VGNO to get my spirits lifted! =)

This is going to me my second Mother's Day. Nothing too exciting going on, just heading over to my in-laws' house to make lunch for my MIL. Then I suppose we might go over to my Dad and Kathy's house afterward.

As far as Mother rants, I really don't have any yet, except, they grow TOO FAST! Other than that, I am thankful I don't have any. I know the day will come though, lets hope it wont be TOO bad lol =)

Tonight Ann wants to know if we have ever had a "walking into a room and everyone is staring at you and you realize you tucked your skirt into your underwear" type moment. I don't think I really have, except maybe the "I had a piece of spinach in my teeth the whole night and no one told me" type thing. But nothing comes to mind. Oh well, I am sure it will happen some day!

And make sure you check out the giveaway Ann is having too!

Alright, now on to JAM's. Tonight we are headed to Disneyland! I have never been there, but have been to Disney World. Which ride will I be starting out on? This one:

Jungle Cruise

Followed by, of course:

Pirates of the Caribbean

and then, a relaxing ride on:

The Disney Railroad Train

Happy VGNO everyone! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
