Not Me Monday

I did not cry out of frustration several times this week. In fact, I never cry. I'm way to sensible for girlie emotions.

I did not become so upset with my teenage boys that I wanted to drop them on the side of the road and drive away. No way! I love the fact that they fight. All.The.Time! There's no way the sound of their bickering voices would about drive me over the edge of sanity. I'm as cool and calm as they come.

Speaking of calmness, I did not get in a fight with the janitor at a certain school over my son quietly playing with his toy cars in the hallway during a soccer game. I most definitely did not lose my temper with this janitor as my child screamed hysterically when I took his toys away. I did not spew forth angry words at said janitor (who obviously knows nothing of toddlers, toy cars and speeding soccer balls), and stomp out of the school. I would never do these things. I would handle the confrontation in a very quiet, respectable adult manner.

I did not go to bed at 10:00pm a few nights ago because I NEVER go to bed early. I have a 1am or later bedtime. To go to sleep at that early hour would be, well, sensible. I'm not that sensible.

I most definitely did not agree to sew Emily a Halloween costume in two days time. I wouldn't add that unneeded stress to my life. And I am not blogging instead of sewing...oh, maybe I am, but that's only because I thrive on procrastination and the thrill of panic and completion at the last minute. It's a sickness.

And finally, I did not wish I was pregnant. I did not wish we were having more children, and my husband and I did not talk about it like it was an option. We have eight children, six who live with us, and we really don't need any more children. OR do we?

I'd love to hear what you didn't do this week....
