Diapers and leftovers

So... I have to be honest... I LOVE cloth diapers... And while I had the majority of mine lent out to my friend Sam to give a try, I was having fiendish withdrawals.
No joke.
Aubrielle was suffering from an ongoing yeast rash (since BEFORE we even left the hospital) and had to go on prescription creams to get rid of it.
Oy, that's a whole other story all in it's self right there... But the timing was perfect since Sam was home from work for 2 weeks and was wondering what she was missing with the whole cloth diaper trend going on, and wanted to test them out and see if she'd be willing to go for it.
I'm happy to help. Especially since the timing was perfect.
Couldn't have worked out better.
But, alas, it took forever to get babe's rashy bottom to clear up. Poor thing. Her tush was finally looking as beautiful and pristine as a newborn baby's behind should. *cue trumpets* I was actually about to ask Sam for the diapers back because I was fiending so badly, and because I knew she had her fill and said she was done with them and had decided that no matter the savings, she just couldn't stand to use cloth diapers.
I am thrilled that I was able to help her come to that conclusion by trial and error rather than by assumption.
For those of you that know me well enough... so probably just myself here, since there's really only like 1 person that ever reads my posts, if that anyways at this point in time... I really do not like assumptions. I do my very best to avoid them. Period.

Anyways... Back to the diapers... I was about jump up and down squealing happy to have them back... :)

And I've actually finally tonight decided to stop being a lazy ass and get those new prefolds that I've had since BEFORE Aubrielle was born (now 3 months old) prepped and ready to go... Though I know it's not going to make that big of a difference because the thing that I need more of is the covers/pockets etc.
I've got the material, and patterns to sew my own... I just don't have the time, or the workspace since my machine and sewing table have become the dumping grounds for anything that is homeless within the house... Bummer... well I don't have ALL the materials, I still need a snap pliers because I can't put the snaps on by hand, and I don't care for the Velcro closure for my cloth diapers.
It is much faster and easier to get the correct size, but it totally eats everything alive in the wash machine.

ahhh... so, in all honesty, I keep rambling on and on about my diapers and that because I'm tired as all hell, and I want to go to bed, but I need to put away the leftovers from dinner... however I am too lazy and don't want to deal with it, I also have a sink piled full and then some of CLEAN dishes that need to be rinsed off yet and stacked in the drainer, and I don't want to deal with those either... not to mention all the baskets of Clean laundry that needs to be folded/hung and put away... the worst part of laundry, and the prefolds in the wash that I need to toss in the dryer and keep prepping since this is only their first wash.
ugh... I think I'll start with the diapers in the wash... and then go from there... gah...

But... speaking of tonight's leftovers... HOLY heart attack batman! Elaina asked for SECONDS! She's been on this kick of not eating... even going to bed with no dinner because she just refuses to eat, and she asked for seconds. I made meatloaf, and instant potatoes that weren't that great... (Josh really made them not so much me, I dr'd them a little, he can be a little handicapped for boxed foods, not the worst thing.) But I was/am thrilled with that. This is the first time since her being so violently ill (as was I) that she's actually eaten halfway normal for her. I am soo soooooo happy that you don't even know... I tried something a little different this time, I used a package of cornbread stuffing, threw it in the chopper to mash it extra fine and did my usual steak sauce instead of ketchup and it was pretty freaking fantastic if I do say so myself... My meatloaf is usually pretty amazing though... <3... I was a little weary of the cornbread stuffing, I saw it on Pinterest though so since I had it in the pantry I figured what the heck.
well, as much as I would rather keep dawdling and procrastinating those dreadful tasks I mentioned not wanting to do.... I really just want to get to bed and can't till all but putting the laundry away is done... though I could potentially leave the clean dishes in the sink till morning and just rinse them really well with hot water.... tempting... we shall see.
