Not Me Monday

Oh..there are so many things that I did NOT do or say this past week I just don't know where to begin...

School is NOT going great, and so far I am NOT like having a great time with the classes. Most of my classes do NOT require so much essay work that I do NOT feel I am basically blogging my way through school!


I am NOT counting down the days to my trip home and I do NOT leave in like 17 days. I did NOT spend one day last week in the corner of the library and instead of doing schoolwork I was NOT talking to Eric about my trip among other things and I did NOT feel like a fifteen year old all over again, like I might get kicked out of the library, because at some point I did NOT start giggling. He did NOT say that he was half-expecting his dad to walk into his room and tell him to quit tying up the line. It certainly was NOT like old times hearing his voice again.


My oldest son did NOT ask permission to allow him to go to the homecoming dance and he did NOT state that he wanted to invite the "FriendGirl." I did NOT remind him that he is NOT 16 yet and therefore NOT allowed to date, and that I could NOT believe he would even consider asking me to compromise my views on the matter. My son then did NOT argue that it was a "Group Thingy" instead of a date, as his entire GROUP of friends did NOT want her to come. I then did NOT ask why he couldn't go alone and she just go alone and they just happen to dance once they both arrived. He then did NOT remind me that the FriendGirl attends a different school and thereby would need an invitation to go. His friends then did NOT get on the line and all confirm that it was NOT a "Group Thingy" and just to prove it the "group" would invite her and two of the guys would even chip in for the ticket. They were NOT totally excited and they did NOT totally beg, and they all do NOT have big brown puppy-dog eyes!!! I did NOT feel like because they had found this loophole which would allow me NOT to maintain my own rule, that I should NOT let them go. I agreed. I then did NOT pick the "group" up and take them on their adventure at 10 o'clock at night. Three of them did NOT plaster the FriendGirl's front window with post-it notes asking her to the dance, while I did NOT wait down the block in the get-a-way vehicle. The next night she did NOT reply to the "group" with a 2.5 gallon of ice cream in which they did NOT have to dig through to find her "yes" answer on paper. They all did NOT go and have a most excellent time. I am sure I will NOT be criticized by other mothers in the 'hood for allowing such "chaos" to take place...


I did NOT attend a BBQ with a handful of people I knew from church back home who also happen to live here now, and we did NOT laugh and eat way too much while catching up on old times.


I then did NOT have a slight anxiety attack over some news that does NOT have me somewhat agitated and I did NOT realize what sort of state this news brought me to until my daughter did NOT walk in my room telling me she could hear me breathing "weird" from her room and she did NOT ask me if I was ok. At this point, I did NOT almost start having an anxiety attack over the fact that I was having an anxiety attack and I did NOT start crying. I was not grateful just that my FFBH, taDonn called (who just happens to be a licensed therapist) and he did NOT utilize his professional skills to talk me down from this one...[still breathing]...


After I did NOT calm down, I did NOT get the sweetest text ever from the 14 year old girl next door that told me to look out on my porch (and it was NOT like 11:30pm at this point) and I did NOT look outside to find a plate of my FAVORITE cookies!!! (No-Bakes....mmmm!)


I sooooo do NOT feel loved all around... :)


So... what did you NOT do this week?
