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. GOOD TIMES! :)
This week, I definitely did NOT let me daughter play on the floor of the doctor's office just to try and distract her to keep her from screaming. And then I did not join her on the floor to keep her away from the trash can for hazardous waste. What mother would let their child play around such expensive equipment and dangerous materials? Certainly not me!
I would also never use her lack of sleep and her "need" to get out of the house and drive around as an excuse for my husband and I to go out to dinner. No, I would never substitute the 15 minute drive to the restaurant for a real afternoon nap! And of course, once we were there, I would not let her munch on my french fries to continue to keep her quiet while we enjoy a relaxing dinner.
And what kind of irresponsible, unprepared mother would I be if I went out shopping without a sufficient supply of baby wipes? I, of course, never leave the house without them, so I would never have the need to wipe off my daughter's spit-up covered face with my hand. And I certainly would not then proceed to wipe the spit up on my pants, because that is just gross!
This week I definitely did not leave my poor baby in a dirty diaper because we were running late to get to the airport. I absolutely would never sniff to see if it was poopy, then shrug and say, "Um, it'll be ok. I can change it later."
And finally, this weekend, I most certainly did not dress my entire family in purple and gold from head to toe to celebrate the Homecoming that I was bitter about not being able to attend. We then did NOT spend the rest of the evening in mourning because our usually tremendously successful football team got destroyed at our homecoming.
Join me next week to see what other crazy things I did NOT do!!
Ha! Great post! I don't think ANY mom has every wiped spit up wtih their hand...nope. I certainly haven't. Cute blog!
