Not Me Monday

Of the 3 out of 5 week nights I'm home to hang out with my husband (class the other 2), I absolutely did not fall asleep on the couch at 8:30 one night (it couldn't have been Friday), and that's that! Then I didn't wake up at 1:30 am feeling like it should be 7 in the morning already either.

I did not help my mother-in-law purchase my husband's birthday gift yesterday, and I'm not even a little bit excited to see what his reaction is.

I didn't scrounge around my car this morning to find 5 quarters and stop and pick up an apple fritter on my way to work even though I have a dentist appointment at noon, cuz that's the last thing I should be eating before a dentist appointment, why would I do that?

I'm not at all intimidated by this new professor I have for Clinical Issues in Human Diversity. It doesn't freak me out in the least that he randomly goes down the roster list and calls on people to answer his somewhat ambiguous and extremely challenging questions. It's not like I'm afraid I'll say something stupid or anything.

While we're on the school subject...I'm not in the least bit overwhelmed by the magnitude of this term...I don't have to pass advancements and find a practicum site while simultaneously taking two classes, so I've got nothing to sweat!

I did not end my several-month-streak of not buying new clothes on Saturday because of those cursed clearance racks at Target.

I am not married the the greatest guy ever and I'm definitely not falling more and more in love with him every day. (Oh wait...I am!!)

(finally, on a little more serious note...)
I didn't spend most of the church service yesterday on the brink of tears because my precious little nephew is in the PICU again struggling for each breath because he's fighting a regular old cold. I'm not still having a hard time coming to grips with all of this because it's just not supposed to happen to little 8 month old babies. And in the last four months, I haven't ever questioned why God brought this upon our family or thought that it's so much easier to be a supportive prayer warrior when it's someone else's family. But, I DO believe in a God who is capable of so much more than I could ask or imagine, and it is in Him alone that I WILL put my hope and trust!
