Diapers

So  we all know that Diapers are expensive.  If you don't have kids, go down to the baby area of your local store and look at the prices of baby stuff.  I think this is partly because when you have a baby one really doesn't have a choice.  you need diapers, baby wipes, bottles and all of the other supplies and the baby industry know this so they charge what ever they want.  This is evident when one diaper company lowers or raises prices the others do the same.  I think that there is some baby opec that is involved.  So as frugal parents that we are we try to save a few dollars because if I don't need to pay the high prices I don't want to.  So we went and found some diapers that were a little less and apparently not in the baby opec organization because the diapers that we bought were like $5 cheaper.  When we saw this we thought wow this is great and we proceeded to check out and have a large smile on our faces because we thought we defeated the diaper enemy.  I guess if you are not in the baby opec you don't get the same secrets that the opec members get because those cheaper diapers that we thought had such a great deal is apparently not that great of a deal.  The diapers don't hold crap.  Literally and figuratively.  My kids will pee once and the diaper will have the pee oozing out the other side. Such a mess and now I have to spend the more money to get a better diapers so I don't have the mess every single time.   Curse you Baby OPEC!!!

Lexi bug

So today is just going to be a random post about whatever.  I don't think that I really have a topic to speak.  For those that have kids they will know that kids can be the biggest pain one minute and then do something that will make you laugh so hard it makes you cry.  Lexi is one of these kids that will do that with just her laugh.  There will be one moment that she will be so worked up over a blanket because she can't find it and will not except anything until she gets that certian blanket. It make e want to pull my hair out sometimes but right when I'm about to pull my hair out she looks for and see it and with a big smile and a giggle she says there it is.  All that frustration seems to go away when she has that big smile on.  She is infections.  She has no fear but will take her time warming up to you but then all of a sudden she is done being shy and you have a friend for life.  She is my little bug.   

Half Yearly Resolution

July 31st. how about that.  The year is more than Half over and what have I done.  I've worked and played.  We celebrated 2 out of 3 of the kids birthdays.   The last birthday being in december.  What a year it has been.  we still have the rest of the year to do what ever we want to do.  So because we still or at least I still want to improve my self in the next half year I am going to make half yearly resolutions. I resolve to continue to lose weight.  Read a book.  Yes, just one.  Come on I need to be honest for pete sake.  Yes, it will be a grown up book no children's books and it may not even have pictures in it.  I'll keep you posted on what book I read.  That's it just two for right now.
