Not Me! Monday!

Wow it's been a long time since I've done a Not Me! Monday! I'm sure there is lots of stuff I haven't been doing...

I absolutely am not avoiding writing a 4-6 page paper with the hope that the paper will get inspired and write its self. And this paper that I'm not avoiding most certainly is not due today at midnight. I'm far too responsible to put off a paper until the last minute.

I did not let the boys clean laundry sit in a laundry basket all week. I always put my laundry away promptly and there is not a pile of sheets on the recliner arguing against my previous point.

I do not absolutely hate my Monday class to the point that I am not counting the number of Monday's left in the semester. It is far to early in the semester for that and knowing that number would be too depressing.

Ok clearly I need to do this more often because this is all I can think of but I know there is more I haven't been doing.

Not Me! Monday!

I am not so frustrated with an article I have to read for one of my classes that I did not consider running the article through the paper shredder and then running the shreddings over with my car. That would be complete overkill.

My classes this semester are not totally frustrating me with a complete lack of due dates and total open-endedness. That would imply that I need some sort of feeling of control and that putting due dates on my calendar brings me comfort.

I did not start working on my office/guestroom/pit of despair only to get totally overwhelmed and give up mid Saturday afternoon. This attempt did not make the problem worse and leave me even more frustrated and discouraged.

I did not smile a little and think "I told you so" when a now mobile Jason crawled over to his brother and stole a toy from him. Jonathan does not deserve this for all the times did not steal toys from Jason.

What didn't you do this week?

Not Me Monday!

I have not totally been slacking on my Not Me Monday for the last I don't even know how many weeks.

I was not writing my Not Me Monday while watching my my husband empty the dishwasher.

I have not been taking full advantage of the fact that I am still on Christmas Vacation and staying up until 2am. And I am not dragging my husband, who has gone back to work, down with me.

My husband and I have not been staying up playing Lego Star Wars 2.

I am not a little sad that my last semester in classes starts Wednesday. (I'll post about that on Wednesday)

I did not send Jonathan back to bed when he woke up at 6 am on Saturday. And when he got up again at 9, Dan, Jason and I did not want to sleep so badly that I kicked Dan out of bed to put in a movie for Jonathan to watch.

Nope, NOT ME!

Not Me Monday!

I was not so busy with school last week that I completely forgot to participate in Not me Monday!

I did not let my almost 8 month old play with a piece of paper for almost half an hour. That would be irresponsible of me. I most certainly did not have to pull little pieces of paper out of his mouth once I realized that he was not eating the paper.

I did not let my husband make the treats that I took to a class party.

I did not spend most of last week so busy and stressed out that I didn't sleep enough and eat well enough and I do not have a cold to prove my point.

That's all I got today!

Not Me Monday!

I am not totally and thoroughly annoyed with doing a reading reflection for every chapter of every text book that I read for my classes. I did not consider just not doing the reflection for my science class that is due by midnight tonight. To that end I did not finally give in and do the reflection but only put minimal effort in to the reading and writing.

I did not have to swallow my selfishness and stay another day at my in laws. (more on that one later)

I am not so far behind on uploading pictures that I have over 200 still on my camera.

I did not put up my Christmas Tree before Thanksgiving because I really wanted time to enjoy it. And I do not still have decorations sitting around waiting to be put up because I had to finally do some homework that I had been putting off for more fun things.

I am not counting the days until Christmas break because I'm ready for a break. And I am not a little sad that this semester is almost over because it means that I only have one semester of classes left with all the wonderful friends that I've made.

I was not relieved that my grandparents in law brought a ham to Thanksgiving dinner because I do not dislike Turkey immensely.

I am not wondering where 2008 went and how it went there so fast!

Nope not me!

Not Me Monday

I absolutely did not wait until the last possible day to complete and turn in my student teaching application. And I was not running around the ED building like a crazy lady trying to get all my signatures before I got a parking ticket for being in a 15 minute parking place too long.

I did not spend all day Tuesday sick in bed. I have far too much school work to waste time being sick!

I did not have to hold back my laughter as my husband told me the whole story of Jonathan throwing up in the car. Laughing at that would be rude.

I am not dreading a trip to my in-laws for Thanksgiving.

I did not get a new layout for my blog while trying desperately to make a health quiz complete itself.

Nope Not Me!

Not Me Monday!

I absolutely did not go 143 texts over my 200 a month for the month of October and that did not cost us $14.30.

I did not sit on the couch talking on the phone to my mom while my darling husband cleaned the guest room for my dad's arrival.

That was not me doing absolutely nothing Monday night while recovering from company.

I am not freaking about about the fact that my student teaching application is due November 19th but the university can't seem to get the online application system to work. And I am not frustrated beyond belief that the application is only available from 7-5 Monday - Friday and can't be accessed on the weekends. It does not make me really really mad that they can't seem to make the application Mac compatible. And that was not me who later realized that the reason it was not compatible is because I didn't have the correct program on my computer. I would never do something like that!

I was not sitting in my stupid health class, while my professor talked about how much better life was in Colorado, writing my not me Monday!

I have not put off studying for the Praxis until the week before the test, that would be totally irresponsible of me!

Nope, not me!

Not Me Monday

That was not me who thought it would be a good idea to let the 3-year-old have a big ice cream cone right before church. And after church I most certainly would not let him run from one end of the church to the other over and over again hoping he would run out of energy and eventually crash.

I am not so drained from a weekend of entertaining that I can't think of anything else for not me Monday.

Not Me Monday!

I most certainly am not watching "What Not To Wear" and blogging to avoid writing definitions for 65 literacy terms.

And that definitely was not me who went in to a 6th grade classroom to teach a math lesson that I hadn't looked at since I turned it in to my professor in September. And I definitely did not make a simple math error that sent the whole activity into a tailspin.

I absolutely am not at a complete and total loss as to what to make for dinner tonight.

That is not me that you see freaking out about how absolutely trashed her house is and dreading the clean up necessary before we have company this weekend.

I am not considering a nap when I am done with this post.

Nope not me!
