cloth diapers

I have wanted to do cloth diapers since before Gaby was born but always got confused and gave up.  Honestly, there are so many choices and it gets confusing.  I figured since this is my last little baby, although at 18 months she is not so much little or a baby anymore but none the less I have decided to give the cd a chance.  I ordered my first one today.  It will be a strawberry shortcake print.  I am super excited for it to come and I can put it on my little princess

My Kids

Since I said I was writing about things im thankful for I think I will write about my kids...

My oldest..is nice and kind and smart and somewhat shy...she is also hard headed and opinionated and sometimes makes me nuts like im sure most preteens do their parents.  She is not afraid to tell me when she thinks im wrong.  Some parents may see this as a bad quality.  I didnt raise..yes ma'am no sir kids.  Didn't want kids like that and still don't. I personally dont find it to be a good quality when kids dont test the limits.  I didnt set out to raise little robots.  I want kids that see what they view as an injustice, even in theri own home, and not be afraid to call people on it in a calm manor.  I want her to have her own thoughts and her own opinions on things even if they differ from mine and this is my oldest.

My middle..She is anything but a middle child.  She is dramatic and loud and outgoing.  She thought she was the baby of the family then got bumped but has taken it far better than I would have.  She is a leader and will step in and take over if you let her because in her mind her way is best.  She is a lot like me in basic personality.  My house is never quiet because if her.  She talks from the moment her eyes open to the moment they close.  She is dresses and bows and dressup clothes and my girly girl to the core

My baby not even 2 yet so its hard to say what she will be like.  She was the completion of our family.  The cherry on top of the family Sunday.  She makes me laugh every single day and I feel so proud that I get to raise another  little girl.

Sundays....

Let's get this out of the way first...I dont really like Sundays.  I know to some its a day of relaxing but it me its the day I reflect on everything that I should have got done in the week but did not.  Its the day that says you failed again.  Laundry, grocery shopping, keeping the house clean.  Sunday is the day I hurry and get this all done so that I can start all over again tomorrow and be back in the same spot come the next Sunday and wonder how I can do things different the next week.  So, as you can see im not feeling too positive today.  I guess im thankful that im up and awake and have coffee in the house.  Yes, that is what im thankful for.  The kids are eating leftovers from dinner for breakfast because we are out of everything but by some small miracle we are not out of coffee, creamer, and sweet n low.  Im thankful for that small miracle...

Welcome

My blogs name is controlled chaos right now...but when and if anyone reads this the name may have been changed to 101 ways to avoid doing laundry.  Let me get this out now.  I hate laundry.  I hate laundry like I hate nothing else in my life.  I cant even start to tell you how much I hate laundry.  I will come up with every single reason why I cant do it.  I realize its actually simple...get it caught up and do a load a day fold and put away.  I get that.  Im not dumb...I...Just...Cant...do...laundry.  Ok with that said I was inspired to make this blog as a way to write each day things im happy and thankful for.  I think its a really great idea and I think we (me) as people sometimes focus on what is wrong vs what is right in our lives.  With that said im going to try and be positive in this blog...I said TRY I didnt say I would be sucessfull, but giving it a good try should be worth something right...RIGHT????? So to keep with my positive theme...

Things im thankful for..lets get these obvious ones out of the way

My husband..im not going to write a bunch of mushy stuff here.  He is wonderful blah blah blah but im not a bring me roses sort of girl and honestly I dont get why anyone is.  They die.  Period end of story you have spent money on something that will be gone in a week and you know it.  Seems pretty lame and I dont get why people act like its this grand gesture.  Its flowers get over it.  Ok wow, went off on a tangent for a moment.  Back to thankful...He keeps me grounded in ways that no one else can.  My stubborn, moody, have to have my way ways never really phase him and sometimes he can even trick me into getting his own way.  I hate that about him but love it at the same time if that makes sense. He also works hard, really hard, harder than anyone I know but still will put Lizzy to bed when she asks and set the coffee up for the morning if I forget.  He will also help me with laundry and lets face it I will love anyone who helps with laundry.  He is my polar opposite but after 13 years it seems like some of me has rubbed off on him and some of him has rubbed off on me.
