It's Really Not Me!



Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

This week I have not been a little lazy and even mischievious. Nope! Not me!

Last Monday when it snowed here, it wasn't me who convinced the family to walk the quarter-mile to my mom's house in the snow! Nope! I didn't do it! Then...at mom's house, I didn't convince my parents to load us into their Dodge truck and drive us back home because I was tired and didn't really want to chance that there were dogs out that had been sleeping during the first trip! NOT ME!!!

Tuesday, when school was cancelled, it was not me who moved the laptop from upstairs to downstairs just so I could watch TV while I surfed the net! NOT ME! That same day, when Girl Scouts were supposed to meet, it wasn't me that sent out an email to all the parents to let them know that the meeting was cancelled. NOPE! NOT ME! It also wasn't me who didn't plan something for the girls to do at the meeting (since I'm the leader) and decided to cancel so I didn't have to plan....nope, I'd never do that!

Wednesday, it wasn't me who was frantically trying to finish reading a book of Edgar Allan Poe stories for Adolescent Lit. class when class was starting. Of course, I'd never be the one who didn't finish the last story, but my group was assigned that story to talk about in class. And...and I was not the one who decided to take up class time to read it aloud to the people in my group. Since I wasn't the only one who wasn't ready!

Friday, I didn't spastically try to find a 2nd cookie booth for Sunday afternoon. I didn't try to make sure that we could get rid of all the GS cookies. (That unfortunately we still have some of that we have to pay for now!) I didn't plan a booth in the middle of the day for Sunday afternoon. Of course I didn't plan for a place that has NO shade for the girls to stand under.

Since I didn't plan for that place with no shade at all, it wasn't me who took my very pastey-pale ("see through") child out in the sun on an 84 degree day to stand for 2 1/2 hours in no shade! Nope! That really wasn't me! I would never let my child get her FIRST sunburn because I didn't have time to get sunscreen before we had to go sell cookies!

Lastly, it's not me who is sitting here feeling guilty because my pastey-pale, see-through 5 year old is now sunburned because of my stupidity! Nope....not me!

Until next time........

Emotional Easter

WARNING: This post is going to be REALLY long. Don't say you weren't warned! This is the post I have tried to convince myself not to write so that no one's feelings get hurt. However, my feelings got hurt, and so I have a right to write about it! :) Right? I'm not trying to hurt anyone with this, I'm just trying to sort things out in my brain. Writing is my best outlet for that. Anyways, I should preface this by saying that I come from a family that travels in herds/gaggles/armies/groups/whatever you call the large group of people you go out to eat with or hang out with most of the time. This weekend, we had some people come into town. We were invited Friday night to go out to eat with them at 7pm at a restaurant that is infamous for making you wait at least an hour around 7pm. There were going to be 8 adults and 5 kids.....13 total (I think!)! (That's about the normal size for the "army" we travel with here.) The other 10 people arrived around

My Strange Collection--But Not Strange to Me!

Recently (just a minute ago) I visited Avr over at Just to Write . Today she is talking about things we collect. She collects unicorns. So in her comments today, I added my comment: Well... I collect Salt & Pepper shakers. I have been collecting them as long as I can remember. The rule is that they have to be unusual AND I don't buy them for myself! They have to come from other people....My Grandmother has the beginnings of my collection at her house. Some of them date back to WWII. Her uncle sent them here from overseas when he was fighting in WWII. So that is why I started collecting.... HOWEVER... I too have a collection of unicorn stuff. It has been packed up for a couple years now. I have seriously thought about putting it on eBay just to get rid of it. I started collecting those on my 7th bday. A friend gave me one for my bday and I loved it. Then I would see them everywhere. Then it became an obsession for a while! lol Now I think I'm just going to stic

Saving Money

Tony and I have always WANTED to save money. However, when we got married, we didn't start right away. Then two years later, Chasity was born. Then it was almost IMPOSSIBLE! Now, we've been married for 9 years, and we have VERY LITTLE actually saved. It seems like every time we get a little saved, something has to be fixed.... usually the car! lol It does need work now, but we're waiting.... but I don't think we can wait long. We know that when I actually get a teaching job, we'll be able to save about 1/3 (maybe more) of my paycheck every month....since we've been living for almost 4 years on just Tony's check anyways. However, I have decided that I want to start saving now! So.... here's my plan. It's really really hard....just kidding! The only thing I need to know is this.....Does Wal-Mart still match prices? If not, my plan is doomed! If so, I'm good to go! I have gone through all the sales papers for this week. I have circled thi
