Some of my friends seem to think I have it all together. That my school room/dining room always looks like this. That I plan perfectly. That I keep my kids perfectly busy all the time. I know I’ve fed this misconception by posting a lot of my How I Do What I Do posts. Those are loose guidelines that I aim for. More often than not this is what my life looks like. Now on with the Not Me-ness!
I never miss the naptime window and let my 9 month fall asleep standing up.
My school room never looks like this.
I have not had the same words written (read: scribbled) on my chalkboard for a minimum of a week and a half.
I did not misspell the word “ark” as “arc” when writing our copywork sentence on the board. I did not discover it after all three children had written it in marker on their pictures.
I do not have the word “SiN” randomly written by a child on the chalkboard.
There are not oatmeal bowls attracting flies on the table because I always have my children scrape their own bowls and put them away in the sink.
These are not my children vegetating in front of The Backyardigans instead of doing schoolwork midmorning. While I dreamed of curriculum and played on Facebook.
My children did not look like this on the way to my oldest’s baptism. Nor do they normally look this excited to be going to church.
I did not take blurry pictures of these things and slap them on my blog unedited for the world to see.
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.
