Not Me! Monday!

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 past Saturday, I did not sit up at my computer, with cell phone in hand, to see exactly what would happen when we sprung forward. My phone went from 1:59 to 3:00. My computer went from 1:59 to 2:59, then to 3:00. I did not have trouble getting up to go to church on Sunday because of too little sleep. Not me, I always wake up early.

I most certainly did not put a dead fish from my daughter’s fish tank into a plastic bag and stick it in my refrigerator because it was still under warranty and it was too nasty to go out. My little princess also did not inform me that sticking her fish in the refrigerator was really nasty.

I did not sit up half the night reading a novel instead of sleeping. I absolutely must have sufficient sleep, and it would be totally out of character for me.

I did not eat an entire bag of “fruit slices” candy all by myself over the course of the last week. That would be entirely too selfish, not to mention that it isn’t good for me. I always eat only healthy foods and would not eat that much candy.

I did not teach my daughter the origins of the names of the days of the week. Nor did I help her learn a little geography and ancient history by using an atlas and the first chapter of Genesis. She did not figure out that the Garden of Eden was somewhere in or near present-day Iraq. I did not teach her these things, because I do not know about these things myself and am far past the age of learning new things.

I did not thoroughly enjoy having my daughter home for three days because of the snow. We did not play in the snow. We did not go to the library and spend two hours reading by a big picture window.

I did not find a gigantic cobweb on a figuring in the corner of my dining room and just leave it there. Surely, I did not. I would never do such a thing. I also would never leave a load of laundry sitting on my couch all weekend. I am much too organized for something so, well, disorganized.

King J and I did not sit in separate rooms of the house, on separate laptops, and e-mail, IM or chat on Facebook. For goodness sake, we're in the same house, and would never do something so silly.

Well, I think that about covers all the stuff I did not do this week. What did you not do?
