Not Me! Monday

Last week when the weather had us cooped inside and I about went crazy with cabin fever I did not decide that we were going to have a "fun day". After stopping for hamburgers and fries I did not drive 25 miles away to a library which has a fun area for kids.

I was not slowly starting to unwind as the kids listened to stories, played with the toys, and jumped on pillows...until I noticed Joe's face go red and realized he was making a "stinky" over in the corner. It wouldn't have been so bad, except I also realized that I left the diaper bag at home. The "stinky" was so stinky that I did not make the decision to leave before someone wondered just what that smell was.

Once outside I did not frantically look around the van hoping that there would be a diaper hidden somewhere. I did not jump for joy when I found a package of baby wipes hidden under the front seat, only to find out that they were frozen...solid. I wasn't the one who pried a few wipes out of the package and set them before the heating vents to warm up.

Not knowing what else to do, and having a few more stores that I wanted to go to (that didn't sell diapers), I did not "dump his mess" into a plastic bag, wipe him down, and put the "almost clean" diaper back on him. I did not declare victory and head on to a few more stores! What kind of mother would do that? Not Me!!
