Welcome to Monday! I missed my “not me” blog last week due to some one or another drama, I’m sure, but this week I’m happy to be back.
I did not leave my 12 mo old in his 2 and 1/2 yr old brother’s shirt when I got them mixed up. I did not just roll up the sleeves and say, “It’ll work” and let him swim around in it all day simply because he hates to be changed, and is such a wiggle worm that it was “easier” that way. I wouldn’t let him wear oversized clothes just for a little convenience sake. NOT ME!
Niether did I allow my potty training tot to run around in his soaked unders, knowing that the plastic pants would provide a level of safety, when we had company over just to avoid a bathroom induced drama. NOT ME!
I did not let my exhausted children take their nap in the car seats so that I could shop at Wal-Mart without them. (and NO I really didn’t leave them alone, Daddy was with them.) Neither did I feed them nuggets and fries in their car seats knowing that it was going to be a disaster that I would later have to clean up. Nope!
Never would I let my youngest just “wiggle it out” in his bed when he’d rather not just shut those sweet eyes and take a nap. I would, of course, keep him up and play many educational and coordination building games with him. I wouldn’t let him be bored for even a second of his precious awake time even though his brother is napping, and this may be my only chance for some peace the entire day. Not me!
I did not let my toddler walk around in a stinky pull up for an hour because “he didn’t mind” and wait for Daddy to change him.
No, I’d never never ever do that….. Not Me! Ha ha ha ha ha….
I did not in the least enjoy lots of wet kisses, snuggles and nuzzles, tummy tickles, drooly laughs, and hysterical moments through my whole week. Who’d like that anyway? Not me!
Enjoy writing your own “Not Me” posts with the rest of us inspired by McMamma!
Hahaha! I SO tried the messy diaper thing today with Leila, and even made a few remarks like, “Man, Leila, you sure stink!” But Daddy never caught on and I ended up doing it!
Thanks. This blog today made me smile – and I needed it. I am still feeling horrible and not sleeping so everything seems a ton worse than it really is!
Yep, I’ve tried the “hint hint” trick with the hub on several occasions, and have come to the conclusion that if I want him to do it I just have to come out and ask.
So sorry you’re still not sleeping, friend! I can understand about how “everything seems a ton worse than it really is” because that is exactly how I get when I’m too tired!! And you’ve already been doing this for months!! Wish I lived closer and could take the kids for a day, and do laundry etc, so you could just rest if not sleep. Praying for you!!
