"Not Me!" Monday



Well, I'm not quite sure that MckMama's gonna do a Not Me link today, but that's OK. Go on over and check out Sunday's post anyway, because it's just that good! Amen, sister... tell it (not that I'm sayin' that or anything, cause this is NOT ME Monday, right?) I'm going to do MY "Not Me" post anyway, because...
Well, I did NOT already write down a list of things throughout the week that I would put in this post; not me! That would be a little obsessed with a meme, now wouldn't it? And I did NOT sit that list on the washing machine, and then forget where I put it, and THEN nearly panic because this menopausal brain couldn't possibly remember as far back as last week without my list! Nope, not me....

And when I finally did NOT find said list, this was NOT what was on it.


I did NOT totally forget in last week's "Not Me" post that I was NOT obsessed at all with the birth of a certain MckMuffin, who most certainly was NOT a miracle. And I did NOT cry at the computer when I read that he was born absolutely perfect. NOT ME!

I did NOT prove to the world that I am totally ADD, or hormonally whacked out, or SOMETHING, when I had mascara already on one eye, got interrupted, and then then packed up my makeup and went on about my business. And I did NOT stare at myself in the mirror at my son's school for more than a minute, trying to figure out why the heck my face looked so darn lopsided. No way... that was NOT me!

And I did NOT stay up way too late on Tuesday to watch the election returns, and then sleep in a little on Wednesday, only to get up, throw on sweats and a little makeup (no mascara), and then look at the calendar. And I did NOT say an ugly word under my breath when I realized that the bug boy had a field trip that morning, and I had signed up to be a chaperon. And, I did NOT go to city hall in sweats and bedhead, because I am far more organized than that.




Oh, I also did NOT get the squirrel up on Thursday, and try to wake him so he could eat. And then get all worried because he wouldn't, and I've already had one squirrel die on me, and I just wasn't in the mood for another squirrel burial yet. So, I did NOT pack up the squirrel in a handbag and take him in to the reading room at school with me, since it was my morning to volunteer. And, I did NOT have to try and deal with a wide-awake squirrel who wanted to be fed right about the time I needed both hands to check out books. No, that would be a pretty silly thing to do, wouldn't it?

And I did NOT get up on Friday after once again staying up too late, and just pull on a t shirt and velour jogging suit with no bra. And that was NOT me bouncing around the grocery store after my dear hubby called on the cell to ask me to pick something up for him. No, that would embarrass me, so I'd never do that!

I also did not have this wild urge as I was in the school parking lot, waiting at the crosswalk as the 2nd graders were heading inside in their nice little "duckling" line, to blow my horn just to "see" if they'd scatter like frightened turkeys. Nope, not me... those kinds of crazy thoughts never enter my brain.

There's more, but I'm NOT too lazy to type it; not me! IF Mr. Linky works and MckMama finds a few things that she did NOT do over the past week with all that free time she has, then head on over to her site for more great "Not Me" Monday posts! Happy Monday, and blessings on the week!

I love the mascara one! That was hilarious! And freaking out the kids, that was good too.

I like the mascara one, too!

I also like your music selection- that's my kind of music!

I'm a fellow Georgian!

honking your horn at your son's school would have been too funny.

I can relate to the no bra one. I had a meeting with a client in my home earlier in the week and didn't have a bra on when they rang the doorbell 10 minutes early.

thank you so much for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment.. I have so done that 1 eye makeup thing -- I've decided it's much safer for the world at large if I just forego the makeup altogether.. I've had that exact same thought in the school line and have had to physically restrain myself a few times!

I love that you took the squirrel to school - I would have loved to have been there to see that!!
