Not Me! Monday.....Amusement Park Edition....

Not Me! Monday is the blog carnival created by MckMama as a way of "admitting" some of those, oh so memorable moments during the week you wish you could forget! Hop on over, link up, and join in the fun!

I'll start!

This week, it was Not Me! who didn't tell her children that their Grandma and Grandpa were going to treat them to a weekend at Hershey Park!

There's no way it was me who secretly packed all the bags and loaded the car, while my husband was at work and the kids were next door playing.....no way would I do that to myself! I know children need time to adjust to exciting news, so there's no way I'd spring a trip to an Amusement park on them, say, 5 minutes before we were gonna head out! Not Me! I know better than to set myself up for a nearly 4 hour car trip with four shocked children who are boinging off the walls like little caffeinated monkeys on trampolines! What thinking parent would do that to herself? Not Me!


Nor was it me who decided to let the toddler drive her first car.....

Since she was obviously much too small, it couldn't have been me encouraging her to steer the car, because I thought it would be a cute photo! I NEVER try to convince my children to do charming and oh-so-sweet things, just because I think it may look cute on camera! Not Me!


Finally, it wasn't me who attempted to get a cute photo of all four children before we left for the park from the hotel room. It couldn't have been me! As you all read here I learned my lesson a couple weeks ago about trying to get a nice photo of my whole crew when all by myself! There's no way I'd put myself through that misery again, not so soon after my last attempt, and ESPECIALLY not when the kids were all chomping at the bit to get into the amusement park! NOT ME!
