Not Me Monday


I have seen this on others blogs and I thought I would like to try it out--so here goes!!
*I did not have a "monthly visitor" for 10 days. I did not have to go through a box and a half of "sticks of gum" (that was code word for tampon in Jr. High and High School for me and my friends) either.
*I did not yell at my kids on numerous occasions and threaten to take away Christmas presents.
*I did not want to get my Christmas decorations up SO bad. I am NOT just like a little kid at Christmastime--not at all.
*I did not get so sick that I couldn't even get off the couch to take care of my kids. I did not have to have my 9 year old son make dinner for himself and his sisters. I did not cry because I felt like such a butt.
*I did not want my husband to hold me and snuggle me when I was sick. I just wanted to be left alone and not bothered.
*I did not ask my husband to carry down the big box of Fall decorations causing him to trip over a barbie and jack his foot up.
*I did not spend several hours in the Emergency room with my husband who did not jack up his ankle and foot and have to listen to a Dr. who looked just like Bozo the Clown. The Dr. also did not pick his nose repeatedly while talking to my husband and I.
*I did not have Enrichment on Thursday night and enjoy myself so much. We didn't talk about the temple and I DID NOT cry at all!
There are so many more but I figured I would stop at a good EVEN number of 8. I hope that you all have a happy Monday!!

And I am not sad for you, not a bit. Poor thing, poor hubby. It isn't your fault he isn't as tough as a barbie doll!

I love these Not Me Monday posts. I think they are funny and bring out our true colors! Sorry to hear you've been sooo sick. That's no fun whatsoever. I hope it's nothing serious beings you were in the Emergency Room! I've still got to get my decorations up...you all are making me feel behind! Have a great Monday.

Sticks of gum. That's a new one to me. Going to have to remember that one. ;-)

Well, I am not glad to hear that you sound just like a normal mom to me. That does NOT comfort me one bit.

(Hope you have a better week this week!)

These are so funny. I hope you and your husband are getting back to yourselves!

Wow. Sounds like a really easy week around your house.
Doctors who pick their noses = gross.

I am NOT super relieved that a super sweet spititual gal like yourself uses the word PISSED, even if it spelled wrong sometimes.

rachel said...

So sorry you've been sick!! What a great post idea- love it :D and how sick that your dr. was picking his nose??? GROSS- I'm glad your poor hubby didn't have to have Bozo the clown operate or anything...Feel better :)
