This Constitutes a "Not Me Monday"

The other day I made some roasted butternut squash for a recipe. Yummy, right? I roasted twice as much squash as the recipe called for and so had the brilliant idea to use it to make some homemade baby food! I'm so trendy. The blender was not really cutting it, so at this point I would never use a rubber spatula to help feed the squash into the blade. Because if I did, the blade would cut up the spatula into tiny bits and then incorporate those rubber bits into the mushed squash rendering it inedible. Who would be so stupid as to do that? Not Me!

While doing a little cleaning-out of my car I discovered a dirty diaper on the dash behind the back seat. It must have been there for over a month - maybe two. Now who would have put a dirty diaper there and then left it? Not Me!

Who is neglecting a fussing baby while writing this blog? Not Me!

 

Not ME! Monday

 

I would like to make it clear that after discovering that my daughter has pooped out of her diaper, up her back and all over her thighs I would always immediately give her a bath. I would never simply clean her up with baby wipes and save a bath for later. Not me!

I would never clamp my daughter's lips closed despite her protests in hopes that she will swallow at least a small amount of her medicine. Not me!

I would also never get so absent-minded that I leave the house and go to church wearing my house slippers. Not me!

When my daughter wakes up from a nap with her hair all disheveled, I would never compare her hair to a certain recently divorced mother of 8. Not me!

I always put away my daughter's clothes immediately. I would never let them sit in a hamper for a week and simply pull clothes out of it whenever she needs something to wear. Not me!
(I actually did promise myself that I would never do such a thing, but things happen.)


I have decided to NEVER leave Juniper alone again! For the very first time I left her alone with my husband while I went out to a book club meeting. What did my DH tell me when I arrived back home? My little girl had completely rolled over for the very first time . . . AND I MISSED IT!!!!! That's it. I will never again leave her side!
