Not Me!! Monday

Not Me! Monday was started by MckMama, it's a therapeutic (and highly amusing) way of admitting imperfections and laughing at some of the moments we'd rather forget. This is my first Not Me! Monday. If you want, you can check out her blog for more info about Not Me! Monday. Or you can stay here and laugh at how ridiculous I am; I'm pretty sure it will make you feel better about yourself. :)

Here are some things I did "NOT" do this week. :) Enjoy.

I did NOT go test drive cars with my hubby this weekend just for fun.

On our test driving trip I did NOT meet and fall in love with a an outrageously expensive and environmentally irresponsible vehicle. I did NOT spend a good half hour crawling through this vehicle -- inspecting and revelling in every bell and whistle known to man. I did NOT sit in the driver's seat imagining with great joy filling this vehicle with happy children and driving over mountain passes to spend blissful weekends romping through the wilderness and swimming in the glacial waters of Eastern Washington. And I most definitely did NOT spend the rest of the day trying to think of everyway possible I could justify owning such a vehicle. No, I did NOT think of buying carbon offsets, planting my own vegetables, homeschooling my child, raising my own meat, never buying new clothes and composting everything in my home that could ever be composted. Ahem. No, Not Me!

On this same trip, I did NOT sit in a brand new Dodge Challenger with my husband and dream of racing off into the sunset to lands unknown. No, I am a devoted mother who NEVER dreams of life without children. In fact, I am NOT right now sitting at the computer blogging as my child runs about the house with filthy face and hands looking for his daddy because Daddy went to work before we got out of bed.

I have NOT been extremely nauseous and throwing up for no reason for the last month. I have NOT been to the doctor several times for this and have certainly NOT taken an unreasonable number of pregnancy test in the last month. And last night I did NOT take another pregnancy test, even though it had already been confirmed by several sources that I am indeed not pregnant.

I definitely did NOT spend two days last week in the fetal position on my bathroom floor due to this pesky nausea and vomiting. And I definitely did NOT, now that I'm feeling better, but not good, eat waffles and potato chips for breakfast this morning. Because I would NEVER EVER do that to myself and justify it by thinking: "if I'm going to be nauseous all day today I would like to at least have a reason for it!!" Ummmm, no. Not Me! I definitely NOT insane.

And because I am such a good and responsible mother, NOT because my child is threatening to throw a tantrum that will bring down the house, I am going to end this post.

Have a nice day!
