I can always think of 10 million things I want to blog about when I'm laying in bed trying to sleep but then when I sit here, it's blank.
Well I guess I can bitch about big kid's school. This week has been awash with issues.
Lets start with the school concert. I got a note home with no less than 10 things they wanted me to bring in for costumes, one of them being a kimono (yeah let me just run to my local kimono store and grab one!) and a martial arts outfit. A.)They are putting on a 45 minute show and they're going to change clothes 2-3 times? I don't think so. B.) I do not live in a wealthy area, I live in a blue collar city where most people would not have the funds to drop $100 for a child's concert at the drop of a hat. When I sent in a note to my son's teacher about all of that she didn't even get it. They did remedy it by saying they could wear their school uniforms to preform in to make it easier. It's obvious they don't think things through there at all when it comes to stuff like this. It's not the first time I've been very whatthefuck about stuff in regards to certain things.
My second issue this week is with the school sponsored Tae Kwon Do class. For $20 my kiddo gets half an hour of instruction after school every Tuesday. It's a fabulous deal but get this I'm not allowed to watch him unless I get there at 3pm to help. The instructor doesn't want parents there, um okay. I guess I'll pay a lot more for the privilege of being able to watch him in May when I sign him up at the ymca's.
The baby is getting big, we're almost out of ever 0-3 month thing he's got. He's smiling like crazy and is so so cute, he's like our little family mascot. I can't believe I said I didn't want anymore children all those years, this little dude has brought so much joy to our house.

How do you know you have a 6 week old baby?
~When the dishes are half done because he keeps pretending he's asleep, and it's really awkward to rinse dishes while having a sling attached to the front of you.
~You're covered in pee, breastmilk, and spit up
~You haven't showered.
~You haven't washed any clothes except for diapers and baby clothes.
It has definitely been one of those days, but at least I got a bunch of cheap stuff for the boys at ON! Huge sale, glad I didn't have money until today or I would have spent $68 more and got less wheeee!
Cloth covered butts are definitely the cutest butts:
Trenty said knock you out! Just as a warning if you click on that picture you're going to be able to see every pore on the kid, too lazy for resize.

Wednesday.
And I'm exhausted and my back and neck are killing me from sleeping in such an awkward position night after night nursing the kiddo. I almost even got up late to get Xander ready for school, I slept through an alarm :O that's very not like me.
I did FINALLY get the damn Tide all out of the fuzzibunz, thank god, another wash cycle with Dawn finally did it. I'm almost thinking fleece stuff isn't for me, if I have another incident of buildup (I bought windfresh detergent from Sam's, it was recommended *crosses fingers* we'll see) I might just forget pockets all together, although I really really do like them.
Here's the wool wrap cover I made for mr. Trenty:
I even sewed the little laundry tabs on it it so the velcro doesn't catch in the wash.
I need more wool, and some of these prefolds infant and premium sizes, a few more of these covers, I got a few in trade and they rock! And a few more AIOs, and I should be set until potty training *crosses fingers*.
In other news I'm super proud of Xander, he got mostly excellents on his last report card! He's such an awesome kid, 6 really is a fantastic age.
I'll leave with this:
They just look slightly related eh?

wow.
Well apparently I'm making heavy cream instead of milk, fatty bo batty is up to 10 lbs *faint*, that's right 10. 97th percentile, almost 4lbs heavier than birth weight at 5 weeks old. I know Xander doubled birth weight by 3 months, but christ he was never in a higher percentile than 50 I think.
I made him a really adorable wool wrap diaper cover I'll need to take a picture of it, it's so so cute. He'll be growing out of it in like 10 minutes though, I need to get it lanolized so he can wear it before he gets too pudgy.
The dr told me to call back in a few days if I felt he was uncomfy with the spitting up, so we can start him on zantac. I really don't think he needs it though, it seems to wax and wane some days are okay, some are a little worse. I just hate the thought of giving him unnecessary meds. He also has an umbilical hernia, not uncommon I guess.
I also apparently fucked my fleece diapers, I've tried stripping them in oxyclean, and then washing them in Dawn and they still smell ammonia-y out of the dryer *cry* last option is to scrub them inside and out with Dawn then wash them again *twitch* psa don't use Tide, especially if you have hard water I guess because it makes them build up. On the upside the oxyclean removed every stain they had, my inserts too are gorgeous again. I'm afraid to even crack open the one sizes in fear of fucking them right away. Ugh.
