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 week has been so very productive for me!

Since I'm in the middle of a semester, I definitely didn't spend my MEA week off doing absolutely nothing school related. That would be irresponsible and just not very smart. I used every spare moment I had to work on my BHP (big huge paper) that's due in less than a week. You know, the 20 page paper that I obviously have a solid start on, or I most certainly wouldn't be blogging, hoping to not win a gift certificate and purse from a MckGiveway...

Since I was so busy doing schoolwork this past week, I definitely didn't spend the bulk of my days on the floor playing with the munchkin (again, instead of doing much needed studying). Since he's been battling a cold and it's a struggle to get him to rest, I definitely didn't put a couple videos in the DVD player on successive days to try to get him to sit still for more than three minutes. I know that long stretches of TV aren't good for little ones, so there's no way I would encourage my son to watch Finding Nemo with me (or Monsters Vs. Aliens, or Elmo in Grouchland). Never.

The munchkin had a horrible night Saturday night, and was awake more times than I can count (including an hour and a half long stretch where I tried--unsuccessfully--to convince him that it was still night time). When I heard him waking up Sunday morning after finally getting a few solid hours of sleep, I rushed right upstairs to get him up for breakfast. I mean, come on, I would never leave him babbling and singing in his crib after he's very obviously awake just because I was exhausted still sleepy. I didn't leave him in his crib for an extra 45 minutes, at which time he didn't start getting fussy and start demanding to get out of bed. He didn't do that because I would never leave my son in bed just so I could get a little more rest.

I'm always such an organized person, and I SO have everything together. That's why I didn't have to spend 20 minutes (and two trips back home) trying to track down my Dakota County Library card so I could attempt to check out some museum passes. Which ended up not even being available, so it definitely was not a wasted trip. Bah. I also did not forget twice, today alone, to return two items to the library at school (or re-check them out). Like I said, I have it all together, know where all my belongings are (including my license...), and am so on top of deadlines.

Oh, and I did not drive around extensively this past week with my wallet in the glovebox sans driver's license. Nope, I would never do that. Remember? I know where all my belongings are at all times, and would never drive around without proof of a license. Not me!

Since I know where all my belongings are (because they're obviously all together in a heap on my bedroom floor or nightstand or kitchen counter my purse), I definitely couldn't use the purse MckMama has as a giveaway prize on her other blog. I mean I could. But not really, since it's a Not Me! Monday....except I really, really could :) Oh well, you know what I mean. And if you don't, go check out some of the other great Not Me! experiences shared by one or two hundreds of MckMama's other readers.

Oh, and on a final note, I would never publish a photo that Martin sent me during class today of our sick munchkin. Poor baby. This picture made me want to get up and leave in the middle of class:
