Since confession is supposedly good for the soul, here's what I did NOT do recently:
I did NOT save up several “Not me!” incidents from the last few weeks to share all in one fell swoop today; that would be cheating, which I DON’T do.
On Christmas Eve, desperate to get a good meal on the table after a day of errands, I did NOT find Indian Meal Moth caterpillars in my Tupperware rice container. I did NOT then rinse a cup of the infested rice at least five times and put it in the rice cooker. I also did NOT eat the rice and enjoy it immensely. Perhaps that little extra flavor was the reason - NOT!!! But I am certainly NOT not letting my husband buy rice again...
Also on Christmas Eve, I did NOT wait until 9:30 p.m. to begin wrapping gifts. That would mean I’m unorganized, which I’m NOT.
I did NOT yell down the hall, “Grammy has Cooties”, when trying to explain to my husband how my daughter knows how to play the Cooties game.
I did NOT laugh hysterically at my 3-year-old son in a sporting goods store when he turned on a treadmill while standing on it and got dumped off the back end at a high rate of speed. First off, I would NEVER let my child disobey me so far as to stand on the belt and get the machine turned on in the first place. Then, I would NEVER laugh at someone else’s misfortune.
I did NOT keep cutting my daughter’s long hair all the way to chin length after the shoulder-length attempt at the nape of her neck was crooked and needed fixing. At least I didn’t need to get the clippers out and just give her a buzz cut!
I did NOT nap twice already this week when there was laundry to be put away and dinner to be made. That would mean I’m not a perfect Proverbs 31 woman, which of course I AM.
And finally, I did NOT just nearly boil dry on the stove a greasy pan full of soapy water in an attempt to make its cleaning easier, just so I could get my “Not Me!” entry done before midnight, especially while heating a frozen entree in the microwave since I napped too long to make the home-cooked meal I’d planned for tonight. Nope, NOT me!
