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.
Okay, so this is probably more of a confessional than anything else, but I've got to get this off of my conscience, so here goes nothing! (If you are unfamiliar with how NOT ME MONDAY! works, check out www.mycharmingkids.net)So, yesterday in church I most certainly didn't have my eyes open during prayer, and I definately did not see a spider descend from a way up high on the sanctuary ceiling, and land in the hair of the lady in front of me. I absolutely did not keep it to myself for fear that if I said something about a spider being in her hair she would freak out in the middle of the prayer and cause a scene! I didn't do that, so you can settle yourself down! (The spider went back up his web after about 10 seconds, so all is good!)
In no way did I become furious when I saw that my husband's yearly salary was published for all to see in the annual report at church. Seriously!!! That is nobody's business, and it is so humiliating! However, I would never allow such a thing to make me upset! NOT ME!
I did not become very sarcastic in response to someone's rude remark regarding me being 4 minutes late to church. After the comment "Oh, look who's late for church! The pastor's wife!", I most certainly didn't reply "Look who didn't have to get yourself and four children ready by themselves!" If I would have said that it wouldn't have been very saintly of me, so NO, I certainly didn't say that!
As you can tell, I didn't have a very good morning yesterday, but today is a new day, and I'm not grumpy and tired at all! NOT ME!
I get my 3 girls ready for church by myself every week. The job of a pastor's wife! :) Your post made me smile. We are children's pastors in ohio. I'm from Michigan though. one pastor's wife to another... I know how you feel!
I am not a pastor's wife... I'm just a single mom of 4 and I know about 85% of how you feel... the otehr 15% is becauce nobody expects me to be on time anymore! lol.
Love your "Not Me's"!
Have a blessed week!
