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.
I was absolutely perfect this weekend. There is nothing to report of anything embarrassing.
When I got a call from my husband telling me of MORE major manipulation and lying from our eldest, I did not want to strangle the boy and shake him violently saying “WHY!!!!” I was not more than relieved that I was still at work and would have three more hours to cool off before I had to face the child.
I was not more than a little disappointed that the husband had completely cooled off and was totally calm and collected when I got home. I did not feel like I missed a great chance to vent and yell for a while. I did not totally turn my brain off by watching two recorded episodes of So You Think You Can Dance.
On Saturday I was totally prepared for the 8 hour training I was teaching. I did not have one HUGE “OH CRAP!!!!” moment where I realized I forgot half of the supplies needed for the training at the office. I was not relieved near tears to see that one of my trainees had arrived half an hour early and could help me set up. I definitely did not share the “Purple vomit” story with my trainees because it pertained to our topic matter. That would have been totally unprofessional.
After I got home from my training I did not collapse into bed and sleep for nearly three hours and then collapse into bed again only four hours later. I did not totally take advantage of my hubby’s recent sweetness and allow him to wait on me hand and foot. 
Finally, Sunday was another perfect day. I did not thoroughly enjoy the company of our little guy even more than normal because his big brother is driving me BONKERS!!! I am not feeling like I don’t understand Gabe one little bit lately and I am glad I don’t feel like every moment I have to talk to him lately is work and takes WAY too much energy. When our eldest was mopey for the entire afternoon AGAIN and would not tell me why AGAIN I did not want to shout at him as loudly as I could ” FINE! Be grounded for the rest of the summer! It’s your choice and this is what you are choosing! If you want to be miserable I am just going to let you be miserable!” I am not more than skeptical that our 1 hour talk before he went to bed last night really had any effect. I am not expecting to have the same conversation again tonight…and tomorrow…and for ETERNITY!!!
I am so glad I am so composed and have it all together. I would not be so foolish as all of that.
