Not Me! Monday



I find myself looking forward to this blog carnival each week. I guess
I need some time to confess my shortcomings...so here goes!

I DO NOT have a major confession this week, and DO NOT feel
absolutely horrible that I DID NOT lose my mother "cool." Upon
a very stressful morning, trying to leave the house to get to school
on time for a field trip, I DID NOT tell a fussy Matthew to "shut his
hole." I DID NOT choose the word "hole" instead of "mouth,"
mid-sentence, because I DID NOT think it sounded less harsh...NO :(
NOT ME! I DO NOT still feel guilty for losing my cool!

This week, on many occasions, I did NOT look around my house
and realize that every square inch was NOT covered by toys,
burp cloths, bottles, shoes, socks, and more toys. I did NOT
just step over most of the mess this weekend because I DO NOT
work full time and I DO NOT think that there is more to life than
a clean house. I DID NOT think to myself..."Maybe I'll clean
this summer!"

I DID NOT go on a field trip to a farm with my class this week,
and most certainly DID NOT let these children get muddier
than I have ever seen anyone. I DID NOT laugh, out loud, when
a child came to tell me she fell because she did not have mud
ALL OVER her face. I did NOT worry that some parents might
not be thrilled with the state in which they found their children
when they got home. I was NOT more concerned
with how much fun they had. I then did NOT have to come
home and use 60+ ounces of Shout and half a tub of Oxy-clean
to get the orange class shirts orange, again. I also did NOT decide
that my class t-shirts will be NAVY next year.

I AM NOT SO tired of politics. I try to stay away from
commenting on my views, whether it is on Facebook, with
friends at work, or with family. Everyone is entitled to their
own opinion...I am just NOT terribly aggravated by ignorant
people who just want to spout off talking points, meanwhile, they
know nothing. I DO NOT think if you want to have a real opinion,
you should NOT read, study, and THINK for yourself!

I am NOT so excited about the upcoming birth of my best
friend's baby, who was NOT due a week ago. I did NOT sleep
with my phone by my bed every night. I DID NOT pray for her
every day and night, and I most certainly have NOT called for daily
updates! I DO NOT want Logann's future husband to get here
already! I DO NOT love my very best friend, Rachel!

I did not have an absolutely wonderful Mother's Day. It was
NOT absolutely fabulous...no, NOT at all! I did NOT get the
best treatment from my sweet husband. I did NOT love the gift,
a heart monitor watch for working out, that he gave me...which
I have NOT been asking for since Logann was born. After
receiving the gift, I most certainly DID NOT feel a little pitiful,
and question his motives behind the watch (Does he think I am
so fat that I need a calorie counting watch?)...NOT ME...that
would be ridiculous. I DO NOT have the sweetest babies in
the world...NOPE! NOT ME!

I hope that you enjoyed reading all of my blunders, thoughts,
and imperfections this week...maybe you won't feel so bad
if youhad a rough week! Go check out some more confessions
on MckMama's site!

  1. AWW! A Christmas Eve baby!!!! Cady Grace was due on the 19th, but was born on the 4th. Your kiddos look adorable! I can't help but LOL at the field trip...I probably wouldn't have been too happy, but really....as long as they have fun!

  2. Oh my goodness, we have so much in common! Besides the working with kids, being so tired of politics, and the state of our houses, one of my wish list items is a heart rate monitor for spinning class! Too funny!!
