A Stolen Week

This will be my first addition to "Not Me Monday."

Because I never do things that I won't admit to doing... not me.

I love reality. I would never love a week completely removed from reality. Not me!

When last weekend was already a three-day weekend, I would never take an additional personal day during the week. Not me!

My first week of on-line grad school, and an important week in the preschool, I would never encourage my friend from college to extend his trip and hang out in Eagle all week. Not me.


I would never have a week when I am only in the preschool on Tuesday and Wednesday. I would never have a week as follows:
Monday - no school (skiing with friends)
Tuesday - at school
Wednesday - at school
Thursday - personal day
Friday - conference in Denver

Furthermore, I would never use that personal day to go to Denver a day early for the conference and to enjoy the city. I would also never wake up in Denver Friday morning and get a phone call from my boss telling me that she and all the other preschool directors can't get over Vail pass due to a snowstorm - they can't make it to the conference. I would never end up being the only person from my district at a state conference - that would never happen to me.

Additionally, during this week when I am not escaping from reality, I would never see more movies in movie theaters in ONE WEEK than I have in the past three years! I would never attend a Film Festival, see Blind Side, and Avatar 3D IMAX (all in theaters) in the same week. Not me!

What is worse of all, never would I hate the fact that I'm back to reality this morning. I would never have that heavy feeling in my chest on a Monday - that "here we go again" feeling that makes me want to cry. I would never fight that feeling after a great week of non-reality. Not me.

I would never be so emotional that when I got into the shower last night and didn't have hot water, I would never cry. Not me. I would never cry over luke-warm water. There are people all over the world who would be very thankful for a warm shower. I would never cry over a cold shower. Not me.

P.S. I would never misspell the word stolen in the title of this blog posting. I would never write the post in advance and save it entitled, "A Stollen Week." Not me! I would never mix up "stollen" - a German bread with "stolen" a variation of the verb 'to steal'. Not me!
