Sometimes I think to myself “self, you should try cloth diapers and save us a bunch of money”  but then….

WE HAVE A DAY LIKE TODAY.

Honey woke up at 5 and was fed then back to bed.  Up again at 9 and fed.  Fed again at 11 and napped 45 minutes.  Then we took GoodLooking to work and then to the post office and two drycleaners.  Then at home she ate 2 ounces of sweat peas (makes her gag a little) and some baby oatmeal.  We were playing on the rug when it happened.  Not in a so noticeable way at first but gradually became noticeable.  She was watching the fish and leaning forward and back and breathing heavy.  The sound was first, then came the smell.  I let her finish and then proceeded to her room where the changing desk is.  Opened up the pants then the WHITE onsie.  Then unVelcro the diaper.  Not so much was there “weird” then I lifted her cheeks to wipe and there it was… Exploded up her back was a lot of greenish brown stink.  DANGIT!

The onsie had to come off down the legs to not cover her face and hair in stench.  I threw it away to save myself from having to deal with it.  Then I put her on a changing pad on the floor because she was naked and drew up a bath.  By the time I came back, she had peed on the carpet.  I scooped her up and dunked her in the bath, washed everything and got her dried, lotioned, and diapered.  I then went to pick something for her to wear and by the time I got back, her diaper had a blue stripe (meaning it was wet).   Another change, dressed, and back to bed.  WHEW.  I am glad we have disposable diapers and that she was wearing something I didn’t mind throwing out and that we have a diaper genie.

We are REALLY enjoying Lone Star and the house.  and I am so thankful that GoodLooking got a job here.

Baking For Your Blog

So, I was on a site that shall be named "stick-it-note-trest" and I went to one of the links for a recipe of something (which I usually do because I am TRYING to lose weight and the best way NOT to do that is by going on "stick-it-note-trest" and look at all the amazing fatty food that I COULD be making) and it was a blog with a recipe for something with crisco, 2 sugars, egg, salt, blah blah and blah and the silly person that writes the blog put all the ingredients into separate bowls.  EIGHT BOWLS. Now, considering you don't wash the bowls containing the white sugar, oatmeal, or water, you still have to clean FIVE bowls plus the ONE you mix it all together in and then she has the audacity to put each ingredient for frosting into SIX separate bowls (by now she has run out of glass bowls and had to use 3 wooden bowls lol).  Now its the TWELVE bowls PLUS the ONE to mix the frosting PLUS the ONE pan to bake it in, she was to wash FOURTEEN things PLUS all the mixing stuff, spoons, measuring cups and spoons all just to show everyone what all the ingredients look like before they went into the delicious looking thing.  That is way too much.  I sure hope it was delicious.  If anyone has done this before, please explain to me WHY.

We are the very proud owners of a new fish tank and 14 fish.  It has taken us a lot of fish to get to what we have though.  4 sharks, 2 sunburst, 1 pregnant mickey mouse (livebearing), a silver tetra, and a striped thing is what we started with.  All but 1 sunburst died.  We now have 5 zebras named Z,E,B,R, and A.  4 black skirt tetras named Merlin,  Chunky, and the other 2 we can't tell the difference between so they are nameless.  A Betta named Lucky.  A Goramy named Elvis (because when I put him in the car, I thought he was leaning one way but he fell over and got "all shook up"). 2 Sunbursts named Ari and Zona. and a frog named Polly Waag.  We have killed a lot of fish (non on purpose) to get where we are but are thankful for the 2 week return policy of PetSmart and what we have learned about setting up a fish tank.

Size comparison

Lucky (because he is lucky we bought him...we saw him in a tank being nice to the other fish so we figured he would be okay in our tank)

home tour.

This is what our home looks like right now.

Our First Boat

Lots of Pictures.... and even more to come later.

Some pictures may be repeats from the previous post but it is nice to have a second look sometimes.

Here is the front of our house.

 The back yard.  Since this pictures was taken, the neighbor decided to finish his fence.  Our property ends at that bush.

 Here is the other corner... We sit on .3 acre

 What you see when you open the front door. (coat closet on left)

This is the view standing next to the coat closet in the entryway (in the left corner there, is the entry to the kitchen)

 View standing in the entry of kitchen

  Standing under the fan looking at the entryway (back door on left)

 Standing in kitchen entry not looking in kitchen. when standing in that other door way (on same wall as the piano) in front of you is the laundryroom, to the right is garage door, and to left is the master bedroom.

Master Bedroom (door to bathroom and closet)

 While in front entryway standing by the coat closet, on the same wall as the kitchen entryway (kind of) is the dining room.  I only have a really dark picture so a better one should come later.

While standing in the kitchen entryway, looking at the wooden desk, to the right is a hallway and this is the view First door on left is the heater, Second door on Left is Honey's room.  The door you are looking at is a closet.  First door on Right is Hall Bath.  Second door on Right is the office.
