last night at dinner, the subject of birthday presents came up. dave asked shane what he wanted for his birthday. he answered, 'an ATV.' we suggested that it be something he might actually get and he then said, 'a sit-down lawnmower.' yeah, right. his final answer was a flat-screen tv that he can put on the ceiling so he can watch tv while lying in bed. then dave asked layla what she wanted for her birthday. she thought for a minute and then said, "um... a banana!"
do you ever feel at odds with yourself? i constantly feel like i'm a big wad of contradictions. and being the living-in-my-head, overthinking type i can spend years, i mean hours pondering things. it can really get me down. example: diapers. one would think that this was a relatively easy thing to handle. i've got 3 kids. i'm pretty familiar with diapers. it seems so simple; your baby needs a change so you take the old diaper off and put a new one on. done. right? no. i have this constant dilemma going on. cloth or disposable. i have 25 perfectly good fitted cloth diapers that i paid a lot of money for when i decided a couple years ago that i was done filling up landfills. so micah wears them a good share of the time. but it bugs me that they're so bulky, especially with the covers on and clothes fit funny and that totally drives me nuts. so at home, he just wears the diaper w/ no cover and when we leave the house, i put a disposable on him. not usually
Have you tried anything out of the Sneaky Chef yet? And if so, has it worked or does the food taste weird? I have been thinking about buying the book.
