good news, bad news


The good news is that today is trash day! (It is the little things that make this mama happy) Anyway, I love seeing that big ol’ trash truck hauling all our gross stuff off, especially today when they actually took the old carpet and padding. Chris had neatly laid it all out by the curb, as he said a special prayer that the trash guys would take pity on him and haul it away. So that’s the good news: trash day AND they took the old carpet.
Bad news: Before noon, I had 6 poopie diapers, ready to toss into our freshly dumped trash can. SIX. Word up… don’t feed a yogurt crazed child (in our case, sweet Jude) Fiber One yogurt from the back of the fridge (you know, the stuff you keep telling yourself you’re going to try but never do). Even if they are starving. It’s ugly what it does to a child.

    Thanks for the words of wisdom and warning!! I will make sure and remember them always! BTW, I love your new house. I have always wanted to do hardwoods in our house but after 7 years we still haven’t got to that point yet! Christy

    Stefanie~

    I am laughing at this because I fed Lindy Fiber One yogurt AND a huge bowl of Fiber One cereal at one sitting–not even thinking…It wasn’t until dinner that it started to work its magic. It wasn’t until about midnight that it dawned on me what I had done…I blogged about it, too…

    That Fiber One stuff WORKS!

    xoxo,
    Lisa
