Well on my to do list forever has been to redo my blog, but instead i just ignored it all together. Until tonight. Baby H is asleep and i decide to do late night laundry. I sort it and put it in the basket with the soap, open the door and go to creep down to the laundry room when, SMASH! insert loud mental cursing. Broken glass and laundry detergent. Hooray. I have to say this has happened to me a few times now. When i was pregnant I tried to get rid of all the plastics in our house and in doing so have broken many more glass jars, and more injuries. Curse my eco rage . I have resorted to saving old miracle whip and yogurt containers as i gave away my lock and locks fancy handy useful and might i add incredibly durable plastic containers. Whats a tree hugging mamma to do?

Emergency preparedness

My wonderful husband is big into being prepared for emergencies, we have all the necessary gear to survive a natural disaster/zombie apocalypse, which i very much appreciate. What do you do though ,when you realize that the sweet little infant you birthed not long ago is a miniature Godzilla with super human strength in his tiny little body that moves at warp speed when you are sluggish and semi aware at best due to lack of sleep and distracted by poo bombs he's dropped ( that have escape his diaper by way of his undoing the Velcro poking with his hands then smearing liberally around the house) and change he's managed to find on the floor and put in his mouth despite your best efforts to 'childproof' and make it safe. I would like to put forward the notion that a total and successful childproofing could only happen in a secured padded room and even then I'm sure my little angel would run and fall into the wall at some odd angle managing to hurt himself... So back to making our apartment earthquake proof, my son identified a nearly lethal hazard today as he mnaged to pull a large 6 foot mirror down onto himself and smash it on his head. Id like to hope that maybe it's just a phase but somehow I doubt it. Ps. Of course he's fine, the tiniest scratch on his chin and a small bruise on his forehead, I however feel like I have aged a couple extra years

item two-morning/how does blogger mobile work?

I got a decent nights sleep after giving up trying to set up mobile blogging last night. Stll trying to set up mobile blogging this morning while having my coffee dumpd on me, decided to try the computer again so im typing one handed and nursing while blogging.The new rearz fitteds were a success over night. They fit my hard to fit son wonderfully and are quite absorbent. If only I could find a cover that worked so well for him; he has big red marks around his thighs from the gen y cover, which is really too bad because its one of the few thing i dont like about using them with my son. My diapers are nice and clean after having their first party with the laundy tarts, although im sad to announce that my bathroom did not smell like birthday cake  as I soaked them, nor do they smell of cake now that they are clean...but they are nice and clean. my first try using a happy heinys stacinatoir in the dark was a failure, next time i will try putting it on with some sort of light (although i managed the gen y cover in the dark without waking baby). On my to do list today... folding/stuffing diapers, doing more laundry(clean clothes would be lovely however brief),  and the feeding and entertaing my child. Oh and I must try to remember to use my fleece liners that I got at the New and Green garage sale,sick of washing poopy diapers in the toilet... put that one the list as well.

item number one-start a blog

Its like I must not have enough to do already, my brain keeps searching for something to do; some way to express myself and perhaps use a few of my poor lonely brain cells. So it's late, i was up doing laundry (cloth diapers if you must know) with my new laundry tarts detergent oh and my new rearz fitted (smitten) which i decided to put on an already diapered but sleeping baby. Also decing try to use a new cover in the dark while trying not to wake my son. Where has my brain gone I wonder, what was I thinking? And now i'm starting  a blog? Ha! Im insane, its official!
