"Not me!" Monday

I know it's technically Sunday night, but I wanted to post while it was fresh in my mind. My friend Meredith does these fun posts for "Not me!" Monday... a "blog carnival" started by MckMama here. They are always so much fun to read and it's a great way to put everyone on a level playing field. Admit it, we all do or think things that seem so weird, no one else could possibly do or think the same things. I love that the not me's I've read usually include a few things that I have definitely done myself. What a great, fun way to be real with each other.

So, in my attempt to join the carnival, here are the things I DID NOT DO in the last week...

I did not make homemade whole wheat bread thinking that it was a healthier, cheaper way to eat bread, then proceed to finish off an entire loaf in the course of 2 days (with a little help). I know that carbs in such a large quantity are not great for the waistline. I also know that it is not, in fact, healthier OR cheaper to eat that much bread in such a short time. I do not love bread THAT much. I would never do that.

I also did not freak out when I could not mark "yes" for every question asked in a questionnaire regarding my 9 month old's development. I did not ask my friends what their kids were doing at 9 months old, and because Trevin's 9 month dr. appointment is in a week, I certainly did not start practicing the skills with him that he did not yet have. I am not THAT kind of parent. For goodness' sake, I taught kindergarten for 4 years! I know "those" parents and I also know that kids develop at different rates of speed. I know my child is not behind...that is why I did not freak out.

I did not forget about wet loads of laundry in the washer 3 different times this week. I'm more on top of it than that. Plus, who likes to stay up until 1:00 am just to run another rinse cycle so that the clothes don't smell like mildew when you put them in the dryer? Not me!

I did not crave chocolate last night while I was watching TV and decide to make a chocolate peanut cluster just for myself while my husband was upstairs on the computer. I also did not eat it before my husband came downstairs and before the chocolate had hardened, thus getting chocolate everywhere. I'm quite good at cleaning things up, so I also DID NOT leave to use the bathroom while my hubby and I were watching a movie and find that I, in fact, had leftover chocolate on my chin that my husband said nothing about.

I also did not stay up until 1:00 last night watching Saturday Night Live when I knew that my son, very possibly, would have a restless night of sleep (which he did). I know I need my sleep and it would be ridiculous for me to waste precious sleeping hours when I am mommy to a 9 month old.

Finally, before church this morning, I DID NOT consider covering up the 3 gigantic zits on my chin with eyeliner to make them look like moles or "beauty marks." I mean really...really? Of course people would notice if I had 3 moles on my chin that weren't always there. But what's worse? New moles/large freckles, or zits?

And I'll end with this question for you, as my friend Mere does, what did you NOT do?
