About to Go Loony
I’m waiting 10 more minutes and then I’m kicking everyone out. I’m so sick of this noise! Like my own two kids aren’t loud enough without help?
I can’t wait till those walls are up. Big Mario estimated that we’ll need from 22-24 sheets of sheetrock. He’s hoping Ricky’s uncle has some in stock; it’ll come out MUCH cheaper. If not, we’re looking at spending at least $150–that’s if the price hasn’t gone up drastically. The last time we bought sheetrock was 7 years ago when they added on our huge bedroom and they were about $6 a sheet. *screams*
Still…it will be bliss when my bedroom actually become MY bedroom. No more little kids (that aren’t mine) running in it!
I have my doctor’s appointment tomorrow. Fun, fun. I know the baby will still be too small to check her/his gender, but I’m going to ask Dr. C if he’ll at least try. I’m on pins and needles here!
Also, I’ve been scanning through journals of other moms on LJ and notice a lot of them talk about cloth diapering. Now, hopefully nobody will jump down my throat about this, but what is the infatuation with these things? I can see that they’d be cheaper maybe? But I guess my biggest question is:
How do you get poop out of those things? I have a hard enough time getting my boys’ skid marks off their undies!
Speaking of, I’m almost completely done with laundry. Only the towels to go–yes! I had tons of comforters piled up that needed washing and I finally got to them today. I feel guilty wasting so much water =\.
Mario’s cousin, Isaac, is in the hospital. I’m not sure exactly what happened, but his sugar was at super high levels. I didn’t even know he had Diabetes. I don’t think anyone knew. They put a tube/catheter into his heart just in case they needed to quickly medicate him and ended up puncturing his lung. What idiots! He hasn’t even been admitted to an ICU room–he’s still in ER Triage I think. I hope Mary calls soon with more details. I’ve been trying to get a hold of Mario at work, but nobody answers the darn phone!
Please everyone, keep him in your thoughts and prayers. I hope he has a quick recovery.
I need to start on dinner and have no idea what to make (running low on groceries) so I should go.
I hope that your appointment goes well and that they might be able to figure out the gender. Cloth diapering…I would not do that, not even to save money. Your question about getting the poop out of there is the one that totally grosses me out. There was some other mom online that would do this but doesn’t have her site anymore. I think you had her. Her name was Stephanie. Anyways, I hope that Isaac gets better. Take care!
Yeah, I’ve wondered too how that clothe diapering thing works. I had someone on my LJ who was obsessed with it. The diapers look different, but still, the washing must be the same as if they were just cloth. Ugh
From what I’ve heard about cloth diapering, you just shake the “solids” into the toilet, and then throw the diaper in the washer as usual. I’d love to cloth diaper when I have kids, so I’ve read up on it a bit. 🙂 This link might be helpful if you’re interested.
That’s so scary about Mario’s cousin! I hope he feels better soon and everything is fixed. I will be thinking about you and your family.
I never used cloth diapers with Haley. The fact that I would have to was poop out instead of just throwing it away with the diaper disgusted me lol.
Cloth diapers are cute, but I can’t imagine having to do so many loads of laundry! They say it’s cheaper, but we don’t have our own washer/dryer, so I don’t think it would be for us (since you have to wash so many times to get the stuff out).
