gulp

there is nothing like an ice cold diet coke from the fridge on a humid day. i finally got the boys to bed. today was very nice. we went to my mom's for the day. jj joined us in the morning until he had to work and then we all crashed. h and i slept for almost 3 hours. gus got up before we did! we had a nice dinner of beer can chicken (SO GOOD YUM) and then gus rode on the lawn mower with my dad. of course it was safe, the blades were off and they went slowly...but it still made me really nervous. i used disposables on the kids because my mom bought some for her house and we had a poo blowout. we always have poo blowouts in those.
i'm trying to figure out how to use a serger to make wipes. anna and i are going to learn how to sew diapers. i would love to have a new hobby. i took sewing in high school because i found out that my biological mother was 'into sewing.' who knows if that was true but i thought i'd see if i had any talent. its hard to say because i 1. got a C in the class and 2. it was taught by mrs willis, who was awesome but not a very good teacher. i spent most of the class (1st hour) eating breakfast and talking to lindsey. we ordered patterns out of a catalog that were kits. i ordered a stuffed rock with cartoon eyes. then we went to hancock fabrics and i bought a bunch of sesame street flannel that i made a HUGE shirt out of. i still have it and i'm pretty proud of it. too bad i didn't keep the skills fresh. i dont know if i ever learned skills because if the thread got tangled or broke i whined for mrs willis and she would fix it and i'd be on my way.
