Smell the Onion

I hate Baton Rouge.

Two things:

The eggs were hard boiled.  Maya loves her some hard boiled eggs.  Easy for Mama, happy baby…good stuff.

Diapers?  I toss them in the diaper pail–a garbage can with a
washable waterproof liner, and when it’s full I put them in the
washer.  (Poos go in the toilet)  I do one cold rinse
(usually with baking soda) and then a Hot/Cold regular cycle.  I
use about 1/3 to 1/4 the reccommended amount of detergent because if
you use more than that you get yucky buildup that makes the diapers
stink. No fabric softener because it’s a wax, and it makes the diapers
repel moisture.  Not cool.  Sometimes I do an extra rinse,
and sometimes I add vinegar (softener) or Tea Tree Oil (disinfectant)
to the last rinse.  Then I dry most of them in the dryer.  I
wish I could hang them out on a clothesline, but we don’t have
one.  Sad face. 

Aloha!  Well.  It was Saturday here.  We went to the Pro
Shop, the Library and Wal-Mart.  I hate going to Wal-Mart.  I
think I’m going to quit.  They never have what I want, and
the standard rudness coefficient of the general public is amplified
like seventeenhundred times there.  Seriously.  It was
depressing. 

But! This afternoon I got my “Stampin Up” things to make invites for
Maya’s second birthday party.  I am not so much crafty, but with
the help of my farm themed rubber stamps and supplies, I am hoping I
can make cute invitations just the same.  I am so excited for her
birthday! 

This week, she discovered veggie tales.  Unfortunately, she now
has a *third* thing she refers to only as “P.”  Peas, pee, and now
Josh and the Big Wall.  This generality makes for some interesting
conversations. 

Also this week: she stuck a green crayon in the dryer.  A load of
towels plus four t-shirts came out with green splotches.  Hooray
for the internet, where I discovered an easy and effective way of
removing the stains. 

Ahh, what a life.

Nothing like doing housework and dancing with an almost-two-year-old to
some cranked up Michael Buble.  Only downside: My cd is missing
the first track…weird.
