Little Kite Girl

So…after yesterday’s post I wanted to include the lighter side of my Mother’s Day, and the week before that.  Considering I’ve had a few fun things going on that I haven’t had the time to sit down and write about.

First of all, a big thanks to Mom’s Milk Boutique for their diaper buy back program that allowed me to trade in some diapers we haven’t used for awhile for some diapers that are better suited for our growing toddler.  (Yes, I’m still crazy about cloth diapers.  I hide it well these days, no?)

I got them in the mail a couple of days ago, and tomorrow will be a big day in trying them out.  I admit, my dedication to our money-saving earth-saving diaper system sometimes wanes, but there’s nothing like “recycling” and getting some new cute diapers (yes, I said cute diapers) to help me feel enthusiastic again.

In BOOK news, which may be more interesting to some of you than diaper news, I finally got myself to the library this past week to check out some books.  By the way, I’m a total book follower. No mind of my own to speak of.  I’ll read about something online and then a month later pick it up and love it and pretend that I found it all on my own. But I’m currently liking Belong to Me by Maria de los Santos, and I’m pretty sure I’m reading that one because of this post. And I picked up a couple of books by Isabel Allende that I got because I read that someone liked them, although I can’t remember who.  Wait! I remembered! Yeah.  That’s how you know you’re a serious blog reader, because I just pictured the description of the book that I read, and I remembered Sarah describing the book “carrying her along like a passenger.”  And yet I can’t remember to switch the laundry.  Whatever works, right? And then of course there are the secret underground book discussions I have going on with Amy, who kind of got me to start reading again this past winter when I had once again forgotten how much I loved it.

But ANYWAY, I also got a couple of books for Mother’s Day, things that I couldn’t find at the library (another way I try to be “greener” and consume less…although I still love to BUY BOOKS).  Keeping House by Margaret Kim Peterson and The Intentional Family by William J. Doherty.  At least one of those goes back to this post, and the other…well…I couldn’t tell you.  When I told my Mom about Keeping House she said, “Leave it to you to think about housework theologically.”  Haha.  I’m excited to see what these books have to offer me, and I’ll let you know how I like them.

So yeah, I have some new things to read.  I have schoolwork to get done, I have a kiddo to take care of and a husband that comes home at night tired but mine.  So I think things are pretty good.  Now if we could just hear back from one of these jobs he’s applied to…
