Not Me Monday - Prayer Request

I need all of the Prayer Soldiers to please join me in prayer.

Stellan who is the son of Jennifer which most of you know as MckMama is in the ICU with SVT which is an irregularly high heartbeat. This is the same thing he was diagnosed with in the womb, which doctors said he could not survive. They said he would for sure die in the womb.

Well with tons of prayer God performed a miracle in this child and he was born totally healthy, and he was indeed very much alive!

Now they need our prayers again. You can read more details on his status by clicking here.

This is my NOT Me Monday post. It will NOT BE ME that doesn't pray for this baby and his family. Make sure that it is NOT you that doesn't pray either.




Please lift little Stellan and their family up today. Let us all pray that his heart starts beating normally.

Please pray with us.


Love and Prayers,

Not Me Monday?

Here we are again! So nice to see you back!! I might get in some trouble for this weeks post, but some things I just got to share.

When filming the video of my kids drawing names for my giveaway, it was NOT ME who hears my son say out loud.... "Daddy I poo pooed!!"

It was also NOT ME who watched as my daughter prolonged this pain during the video by holding her nose and saying EWWWWWWW! You must scroll down and watch the video.

It was also NOT ME while during an encounter with my son as he lay on the changing station in the buff legs raised, has this conversation:

Will: Da-da?

Me: Yes

Will: Das da poo pooooooooo. (as he drops the kids off NOT at the pool)

Ok so maybe that was TMI and you didn't think it was funny, but I was dying laughing. Of course I am realizing at the same time that if he can tell me about it as he does it then he can do it where it is suppose to go. Yeah right!

And it was soooooo NOT my daughter (my wife will say it was MY daughter) who while we were out to eat tonight with some good friends we don't get to see often did the following:

Got everyone's attention at the table by ripping ars at the Mexican Restaurant not once, not twice, but three different times. You know how noisy these places are? You cant hear the person next to you talking. However we all heard her her butt flappin up against the wood of that chair! Oh, and then laugh hysterically about it just to make sure those who didn't hear it knew what happened. NICE!!! That was NOT MY daughter! Ok so maybe it was. The sense of humor anyway.

Just to prove it... It was also SOOOOOOOOOO NOT ME that sounded so ghey redneck in that video. NO that was NOT ME!! Just scroll down to the Say it on a Sign giveaway winners post and see for yourself. Oh and Nikki you can leave this one alone.

So get on over to MckMama's and start your own Not Me Monday. If you don't do it you can at least read about all the others who do!


Love and Prayers,

Not Me Monday

It's time again for MckMama's Not Me Monday. If you aren't already doing this you should get on over to her blog and get started!

It seems as though many of you are putting some pressure on me as you seem to think that you can't miss my Not Me's because you have found them so humorous. I'm glad I can put some laughter in your day, however I honestly don't know what you find funny or not. So I will do my best to live up to the expectation.

It was NOT Me that was sent a 400 dollar editing tablet (to be used for retouching photos by hand) in the mail by my wife only to find out later it was to improve her standing with me so I would agree to let her get a Blackberry Phone. Only to let her order it the VERY next day from Verizon. No that was certainly NOT ME. I'm not that weak am I? Yeah I guess I am.

It was also Not Me who had my nephew tell me that people were animals before they were people. Really? They are teaching 2nd graders about Darwin's Theory of Evolution? I set him straight on that real quick and made sure he understood that God made people and that they were made in his image. It was also not me who walked out of class in the 8th grade when my science class talked about that.

Then it was Not Me who at dinner tonight had my daughter ask me "daddy why doesn't everyone have a family?" It was also Not Me who replied "everyone does have a family" only to have her say "no they don't". Then to make things worse it was NOT ME who says (not thinking) "everyone does have a family because it takes a mommy and a daddy to make a baby." It was NOT ME that was thinking (WHAT DID I JUST GET MYSELF INTO!!) It is NOT ME that's about to have the birds and the bees convo with my 6 year old. NO WAY!!! It's NOT ME by the way that has a gun by my door, and wont let my daughter wear makeup until shes like 30. No way that is me! So I changed the subject and asked her to turn around at the table and quit talking. Or maybe it was NOT ME who needed to stop talking.

And lastly, for those of you who seem so enthused to hear about my daughters flatulence. It was NOT ME that laughed when I heard some butt slappin coming from her direction (only because she was trying so hard to hold it in and I could see the redness building in her face) only to have her come over and slap me a few times because it embarrassed her. Strange thing is its never embarrassed her before.

And since you all like to laugh at my expense so much, it was NOT ME that went to the bathroom while having a house guest standing right outside the bathroom door, try my best to do my business quietly only to have the sound of a dying seal emanate through the bottom of the toilet and then reverberate all through an all tile bathroom. NO WAY that was not even me! You know why? Because it was my daughter from the other room! Yeah! It was NOT ME that just tried to blame that on my daughter either.

So make you way over to MckMama's and join in the fun. Also, make sure you browse thru all the different Not Me's. Oh and tell me if you have or had grandparents that were that free with their gas. It's NOT ME that's asking that question.

Not Me Monday

It's time again for MckMama's Not Me Monday. If you aren't already doing this you should get on over to her blog and get started!

Some of our events this past week went like this:

I did NOT find my son in his room with a full bottle of children's vitamins after he has already deposited around 160 of them into his stomach. Still not sure how or when he got to them, but we are for sure glad that he is ok. These particular vitamins were two to get one daily dose anyway so he really only got around 80 doses instead on 160. Nevertheless I did NOT have to take him to the ER for it.

We were on the way to the store tonight and my daughter says from the back seat as if its the best things she has ever seen..... "LOOK AT ALL THE PRETTY FLOWERS!!!"
It was NOT me that looked to see that it was a cemetery. It was also NOT me who told her it was a place where they grow flowers.

Then when we were at the store It was NOT me who bought my son (Will age 2) a box of candy (Wonka Bottle Caps) to keep him happy. It was also NOT me who turned around and purchased a freaking Bicycle for my daughter because she felt left out and that was what she wanted. It is also NOT me that is SOOOO soft.

Then as we were in the car on the way home it was NOT my wife who when realizing I had bought my son a box of bottle caps says "why did you get those? They taste like ASS!" Only to hear my daughter in the back immediately say "THEY DO NOT TASTE LIKE ASS!!!!" I so wanted to say how do you know they dont taste like ass Taylor? Have you ever tasted ass? However I refrained.

At least this week she didn't fart in public.

Not Me Monday!

It's that time again! You guessed it, MckMama's Not Me Monday! If you would like to play along, as you should, head over to her blog and do so now!

And here we go!

Saturday while playing golf with my Dad I did NOT make an eagle on a 520 yard hole. For those of you ladies out there that don't understand golf let me explain. Its when your goal is to get the ball in the hole within 5 shots and instead you do it in 3. I hope that clarifies it some. I might add that makes it sound so insignificant, however it is a really BIG DEAL. Especially for someone like me who doesn't play all that often and have only done it one other time and that was in high school when I was on the golf team. So yay me!

The only other thing on my short Not Me list today was this:

Today at the doctors office, Taylor has a viral infection, Will was getting tired of sitting around and started pushing this chair across the hard floor which was making an unbearable noise. He does it a few times as I am telling him to stop, it was NOT ME that says do it again and your going to get a spanking (in a very stern voice) only to watch him look me in the eyes and do it again because he knows good and well I haven't the heart to follow thru with my meaningless threat. NO that for sure was NOT ME!

Now get on over to MckMama's and join in the Not Me fun! This week if you join in you are entered into a contest!

Not Me Monday!

It was NOT me who while watching the Super Bowl commercials laughed at a real funny one, and because I still have the flu my laugh caused me to cough and projectile launch a wad of phlegm across the room nearly missing the head of a kid.

It was NOT my 2 year old whom I found while playing in the backyard totally NAKED! NO WAY that was NOT one of my kids. Must have been some stray that jumped my fence. Yeah, that's what it was!

It was also NOT the referees in the BIG GAME who missed call after call to practically give the game to Pitiful town. Sorry Steeler fans I still love ya!

And it was also not me who allowed my daughter to play with he neighborhood kids yesterday even though she was grounded because she said "but DaaaaauhDeee" and I felt it a good chance to watch the Super Bowl uninterrupted. No way NOT ME!

Now get on over to MckMama's and check out the rest of the Not Me's!

Not Me Monday!

So here we are at the beginning of another week. I do hope that yours is special. So sit back and relax, because here comes your Fort Thompson Not Me's. Always guaranteed to be funny!

It was NOT me who ended up a human bubble machine tonight. Carey goes to the store, decides to get sweet on me by picking up some of my favorite snacks. She is soo sweet. She gets me some of my favorite candy (Whoppers, the pink strawberry one's!) and I couldn't be more excited about it. Turns out that on her way home she had busted a bottle of fabric softener. You know the REALLY smelly kind, the stuff I really like to smell when its in MY CLOTHES! Anyway, I digress. So it spills all over everything which includes the box my candy comes in. When she gets home and unpacks the groceries she says "ohhh, I was wondering why the car smelled sooooo clean". So she is in such a hurry, and thinks that the fabric softener got onto the candy box only, but NOT on the candy, even though it was soaking wet! And decides to put the candy in a Tupperware container to give to me. I get the candy and do think its a bit weird that they are given to me this way and not in a box, but in my excitement I dump into my mouth about as many as I can and begin to chew and swallow. It creeps up on me slowly as I think, MAN there is something seriously wrong with this candy. Then it comes to me as the taste and smell of lillie fill my sinus cavities. I run to the sink to expectorate what was left as my eyes have turned red and now drip with tears. So it is NOT me who's nose has bubbles coming out of it and who's mouth tastes like it has 10 million lillies in it. It is also NOT me who is the human bubble machine as every time I cough for 10 to 15 minutes bubbles come out. The entire family of course takes this opportunity (as I would have, I've taught them well) to laugh and poke fun of my misery. I'm so glad they got a good kick out of it.

It was also NOT me who stood in line at Home Depot to ask the guy a question when the following happened.
There is a lady who is in line behind us also waiting to ask a question and my daughter (who is so kind to strangers) strikes up a conversation with her. Well at least she was talking to the lady, but the lady was not speaking to her. I turned and noticed just as my daughter said something to make her laugh that she was in desperate need of a dental plan, (who knows she might have been on Idol in her younger years) and in that split second my so helpful daughter says " HEY I THINK SOME OF YOUR TEETH FALLED OUT!"

No that couldn't have been me?

Now get on over to MckMama's and check out the rest of the Not Me Monday's! For those of you who havent noticed, just thought I would mention, she has been leaving comments here at Fort Thompson!! So stay tuned you never know what she might do next!

Not Me Monday!

Here is this weeks Not Me Monday. You can go to MckMama's site to see more great Not Me Monday's

It will NOT be me that watches American Idol this week just to make fun of peoples teeth.

Speaking of American Idol. It is also NOT me that believes that watching it will improve your self esteem. Its like going to a county fair!

It was NOT me that gave my son a dose of children's Tylenol only because he got upset that his sister got some when she had a fever last night. It is also NOT me that is weak when it comes to things like this involving my kids.

It was NOT me that hid from my daughter at the store to try and teach her a lesson about walking off when she didn't even care or get scared.

No Not Me.
