My newest love...

So...I am in love. Those first wonderful, sweet days when the world is wonderful and bright and everything is joyful. I'm happy and pass that happiness off to others. What has brought on this new found bliss you ask? Why, cloth diapering, of course! I am totally converted :) Caroline hasn't had a disposable diaper on her bottom in two weeks and I, for one, am thrilled. I'm proud that I've kept the laundry up with my busy household, proud that I haven't broken down and used disposables at night and proud that I've made this choice for our family and the environment. (Plus I'm impressed with the savings....I've spent $240 dollars on my 22 diapers and that's it for the rest of my diapering existence. And when baby number 3 comes along, no diapering costs at all, because these will work for him/her!) Yeah us!

So go out and buy yourself some diapers and give it a try...it's worth the effort!

I could really use some diapers!

So I usually don't do this, but Smartipants cloth diapers is having a 900th fan giveaway and I could really use some! Check out their facebook page for a chance to win!

Surviving Snowpocalypse 2010

So the worst of the snow has gone...Aidyn hasn't been in school since Feb 5 and Chas just got back today. Needless to say, we're out of food and the house is a wreck. It's been a mini-break around here with the boys. Basically 9 straight days of having them home. Nice to say the least :) We have about 30 inches of snow now, by far the most I've ever seen in my life. I'll be glad when Easter comes and melts it all away.

Cara has a nasty cough developing. That dry, hacky cough that just makes me nervous hearing it. I worry so much about her chest, considering the way that Aidyn is, who knows what kind of problems we'll have with her. It seems like she's starting even younger than he did. What can be done for it though? Other than watching and waiting for two years, that is. Poor girl..she's such a smiler though...so happy and so sweet. She's an absolute dream. She completes us:)

On other fronts, we are pretty set. I'm not even trying to lose weight right now. I could probably make the case that I am actively gaining weight actually. I'm sunk motivation-wise and can't wait for spring to come. I feel like if I could get out and have to burn calories, I would appreciate those calories far more. Right now, I just want to eat until I can't move. I know it's not healthy, but it's true. I've gained all but 20 lbs of my weight back. That's 70 lbs back...it's unhealthy and unnecessary. I've no excuses, but also no interest other than complaining in correcting the situation.

Babies and crazies and such...

Carla had her baby...Miss Maggie Elaine. 8 lb, 1.5 oz and 20 inches! Yeah! We get to have babies together again :) All is well in their world, as it is in ours. Other than the snow storm expected to erupt at any minute, nothing much in the way of news otherwise. Caroline did say dadadadadada the other day and is having a language eruption of sorts. Also what sounds curiously like Aidyn's name, but we of course know better (even though I secretly think she's that smart and can say it already).

My birthday is this weekend...nooooo fun. I'm not really looking forward to it. Just another day...birthdays have become boring. Nothing of interest will happen and nothing much to look forward to will result. I'm pretty much a birthday hum-bug these days :) That said, the Super Bowl is Sunday too, so needless to say, not much to expect.
