The Time I Gave A Murderer My Address

Remember a few days ago when I posted about my terrible, awful, no good, very bad day?

If not, you can read it here.

Remember how I said that I was pretty sure I had {stupidly} written an email with my full name and address to a spammer? I was expecting to have my identity stolen (at the very least) and figured that we were probably all going to get murdered as well.

Well, today as I was pulling into my driveway I noticed the mail-woman putting a package in my mailbox. I was wracking my brain trying to remember if I'd ordered anything recently. Nothing came to mind and I practically threw my groceries in the house and ran to the mailbox to grab the package. (Does anyone else get this excited about the mail?)

I took one look at the return address and knew that we would all live long and happy lives.

The giveaway that the "spammer" mentioned in the email was legit (I knew it was) and I really did win! The spammer wasn't a spammer after all!


Lucky me, I got a new diaper in the mail! I'm excited to try it out because its a brand I've never used before and its designed to hold extra layers inside while keeping baby dry for longer periods of time (which for us and AJ's 13+ hour stretches at night, should be awesome!). Hopefully we like it and it works well so I have a reason to buy more!




So in case you were worried about me, no fear! We'll live to see another day (and my identity is likely safe as well).

It's Tax Time and That Means Cloth Diapers!

For those of us in the military, tax usually means some sort of refund is coming our way. We're getting a larger refund than normal this year because AJ was born in 2010, so we've started compiling a list of things we'd like to use our refund for.

Being the responsible, home-owning adults that we are (stop laughing), our list consists of things like "getting an invisible pet fence installed," "a new car seat for our growing daughter," and "buying furniture for the empty rooms in our house" when really I wish the list included things like "new clothes for me" and "more cute cloth diapers for AJ."

Wait.

The cloth diapers are for the baby, not me (haha, okay, they're really for me) so that makes them okay, right? I mean, they're so cute! Add in the fact that they're handmade and sold on Etsy and I'm having trouble not buying a whole bunch!

I mean, come on, this is just about the cutest dipe I've ever seen!

I told D the other day that I'd like to get a few more diapers so that I don't have to wash as often. Right now, I'm washing just about everyday since I'm lazy and forget to walk upstairs and turn the washer on again. A load of diapers that should take about an hour in the washer and 90 minutes in the dryer usually takes me all day and into the next morning to finish.

For the wild-child in your life, the zebra print diaper!

I'm that mom that prays AJ won't have a big blowout until the dryer cycle finishes because she is wearing the last clean diaper in the house. So instead of being more efficient with my laundering, the logical solution to my problem is more diapers, no?

This is a must for your little ladybug...

I know you cloth mama's will agree with me, its my husband I have to convince! ;)

What a cute, fluffy butt!

**If you would like to know which Etsy shops I found these diapers at, let me know and I'd be happy to share!
