"Not Me Monday" 1-19-09 Edition

ATTENTION GEEEZ GROUPIES!! IT IS THAT TIME AGAIN~~~~ http://www.mycharmingkids.net/

And this week I figured out how to put in the button (that thing up there^^^) All you have to do to get over to MckMama's blog, home of "Not Me Monday" is click on the button and you will be magically transported........ Be sure to check it out! Last week I was entry number 157 (out of well over 400) Not bad for my first time out!!

This past week here is a list of things I most definitely did not do:



I did not watch the clock at work for the last hour of my shift. I love my job. My office is like a second home to me.



What would I have to do if I were home anyhow? Take a nap? I would NEVER take a nap before dinner was made and the laundry was done and the floors were scrubbed and the dog was bathed! Or the shelves dusted, the cupboards re-organized, the bills paid, the toilets scrubbed, the rosebushes pruned. No I would never think of it!
I wouldn't start getting my filing done so my work baskets looked
clean and neat before 4:30pm. I just did not do that!


A watched pot never boils. A watched clock never makes the time go by faster. Therefore, I would never, ever, not for a minute, not for 30 minutes not from 3:26pm on a Friday at the end of a very looong work week start watching the clock and then sprint out of my office at 4:31pm
Not 4:30pm, mind you.... I didn't want to look desperate.
Not me. I would never feel a desperate need to escape.

Additionally, I don't know who told you that I tried to talk my sister into making her hand into a puppet at the Post Office and hold a conversation with it because she said she was really really bored. That is bizarre. I would never try to get my little sister to do something that would make her look weird. It hurts me that you would think that I would do that!

Great Not Me! Monday post.....love the clock-watching pictures :) Thanks for stopping by my blog too, and to answer your question about the barbershop, it actually surprised me and wasn't so bad! Saved me lots of $, which is what I need to do right now.

I can sort of sympathize with the clock issue, or at least I could if the clock in my classroom had ticked since 1:32pm sometime in 1982! Nope, it does not work! And my walls are concrete, so I cannot just stick a clock in my room! Instead, I keep my cell phone under my podium and discreetly check it to see how much time I have left with each class of 22 or more seniors. I have to be discreet, since it is against the rules for kids to have them in school!

Thank you for your comment. I am dealing with an ex husband who has never stepped foot in my children's school, which is in the district I teach in and I am very close to the staff there, but felt the need to call and make a jerk of himself telling them off because my youngest daughter who is in Pre-K keeps coming home with head lice. We are working on it, and they are keeping a close watch on things, but he has to exert some form of control since he no longer has any. He fought me for 2 years for custody of my 2 daughters, turned down my offer of joint custody, and instead I was awarded sole custody and him with long distance visitation since we live 3 hours apart. ARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!! Sorry, needed to vent! I will keep visiting your blog and promise to keep all further comments shorter! :)
