Not me! Monday

Oh, the best part about Mondays is here! Enjoy the reality of my life and the others on MckMama's site.

I DID NOT get really excited that I was number 42 last week on MckMama's Not Me!

I DID NOT start packing the first boxes for preparing the house for sale...in March. I DID NOT make a master packing list. I AM NOT scared at my own organization that it's difference from my natural personality.

I DID NOT eat the small serving of ice cream left in the carton, right from the carton. I DID NOT throw in some cashews and call it a "protein snack".

I DID NOT pick up bits of dried peas and Cheerios off the floor and put them in my jacket pocket because I didn't want to walk the 7 steps to the kitchen trash can. I DID NOT wear that jacket to the YMCA. I DID NOT find the same bits in my jacket the next day. I am NOT questioning whether or not they're still there.

After actually remembering the camera for the Junior Kindergarten Thanksgiving Feast, I DID NOT want to say bad words, when the batteries went dead after two pictures.

I DID NOT pour my last two tablespoons of coffee beans straight into my mug. After noticing that and putting them into the grinder, I DID NOT pour the ground coffee beans straight into my mug. After pouring the ground coffee into the french press, I DID NOT forget to rinse the mug before putting my half and half into it. I DID NOT still drink the coffee with floating grinds because I wasn't going to waste the half and half. I AM NOT that cheap.

I DID NOT get extremely excited to go to Dierberg's by myself on Sunday. I DID NOT wear my sticky name tag from church throughout the store. I DID NOT not notice this until I was home.

I DID NOT find my two year old daughter with a peri bottle in her mouth. (See previous post for the full story)

Not me! Monday

Yes, it's Monday! Time for our weekly confessional of all the activities I DID NOT do this past week. MckMama has more posts from others for NOT ME! Monday.

I DID NOT leave the sprinkler on in the backyard for almost 45 minutes when it was supposed to be 15minutes. I especially DID NOT do this twice this week.

I DID NOT pilfer through my children's Halloween candy and take out the good candy, leaving them with dots and tootsie rolls.

I DID NOT give my daughter 2 nickels in exchange for 2 quarters.

I DID NOT, again, leave my van door open all night. I also DID NOT leave my house door wide open the entire day while I was gone. I do not have a problem with "closure".

I DID NOT make a double recipe of pumpkin bread & muffins and forget that muffins take half as long as bread. I DID NOT completely burn all 24 muffins. I DID NOT try to feed them to my children.

On my front steps, I DID NOT leave pumpkins that had been hollowed out by squirrels. I DID NOT tell people this was an observation exercise, so my children could watch them decay.

I DID NOT talk on my cordless home phone in the car. I DID NOT drive away still talking on the phone. I DID NOT put that phone in my purse when I was finished talking, so I of course DID NOT carry it around that morning. I DID NOT pull it out of my purse to check message when I got near my house again.

Not me! Monday

In the grand tradition of MckMama, I'd like to tell y'all some of the things I DID NOT do this past week. I would never succumb to these behaviors.

I did not actually fall asleep for 20 minutes while playing 'nap' with my daughter.

I did not stay in my PJs until 11:50 that day. I did not not shower until 5PM that same day while my children watched TV.

I did not leave my van's sliding door open the entire night.

I did not feed my children mac n cheese with green beans for dinner because I just didn't want to make anything.

I also did not feed my children Aldi brand spaghettios and canned pears another night because we had a dinner guest who was served twice bake potatoes, salad, roast chicken, and magic hot fudge brownie.

I did not sleep until 9 AM on Friday. My kids however did sleep until 9 AM.

These are things I would never do...
