Blog Friday for January 6th
This week we are focusing on positive energy and thoughts 🙂 Not all that related to cloth diapering, but not a bad topic 😉
This week brought some challenges to our store, some were minor, some will take some time to solve. I would love to hear some positive stories from your week (they don’t have to be related to cloth diapering), so tell me what happened to you this week that was good, one winner picked on Sunday gets 154 points in their Abbys Lane account for a $10.00 voucher!
Mom Rocks Monday: Every Monday when you 
It's The Cloth That Counts.

We definitely had an interesting week but the best “good moment” happened when my 3yr old was absent from preschool due to the sniffles. At around 1130am, dismissal time, I get some emails from the other parents and teachers saying that our little girl was horribly missed in school! 🙂 I showed it to my daughter and she said that made her feel a LOT better. Made me feel good too! What an awesome feeling that a whole group of people miss your child like that! Oh, this was her very first absence since September! 🙂 Hope next week is better!! 🙂

The weather was beautiful, so for the last 2 days, after my 3 yo’s nap, she went outside to play! Yesterday daddy was home to play early, but today I just opened the outside door and listened for the baby, who ended up napping for a LONG time. When dad got home, we grilled out and then I was able to talk to my husband for a while. This doesn’t happen often enough!

We has a great talk with a friend who gave some very good advice about how to heal some longstanding family rifts. So I’m optimistic and excited to put his advice into effect, even though it means having to say I’m sorry.

My week started out REALLY rough when my husband left town for business. The day he left things went wrong left and right. Slowly talking to him things have very much improved over the week. Him hearing how stressed I was made us have a good talk about our marriage (10 years!) and him being away really made us realize how much we take each other for granted. We’ve relaly reconnected. absence DOES make the heart grow fonder 🙂 I can’t WAIT until he comes home in a couple of days!!!

Today my two boys (3yrs & 15months) were outside playing. The oldest came to get me to show me how he was pushing his little brother in a pedal car. He was so sweet to his little brother and didn’t even ask for “his turn” until LB wanted out.
It was so nice to see them burning energy while being nice and not getting into trouble. 🙂 Made my day!

My 19 month old went pee on the toilet!! He grabbed at his diaper and then walked over to the bathroom door and started knocking on it. I took him in there and set him on the toilet seat, and he peed right away! He isn’t ready for potty training yet, but still an exciting milestone!

Thank you for the reminder to focus on the positives as I was was dwelling in negative energy this week! I was trying to be a sympathetic mommy to my sick 2-1/2 year old daughter, but my lack of sleep (due to her nighttime hacking cough and my 5 month old just not sleeping) got the best of my nerves!
This morning I sent out a text of frustration to a few mommy friends. I expected to receive messages back to lift my spirits, but I was surprised when my doorbell was rung by one of those friends. Her husband was home with their twin daughters, and she took time to bring me coffee, chocolates, and a funny card. Her thoughtfulness completely lifted my spirits. (My daughter’s 4 hour nap later also helped!!)

Several bits of happiness: #1 is that my cousin’s 3 yr old son got through surgery safely and the mass removed was not cancerous at all (BIG relief for the family!), #2 successfully sewed up a fabric “gate” for the lower level entry to the stairwell so we don’t have to drill holes into the wood banisters, #3 got started on making cloth diaper wipes for this baby to be. #2 and #3 are big accomplishments considering my only sewing lessons occurred in 1 quarter of sewing class in the 8th grade. And the machine was not broken in the process!

I decided to take the week off from work to catch up on my school work that i had been putting off since my little girl was born in September. It was a long week taking naps with her so i could stay up till the wee hours of the morning while she slept to get my school work done. the only thing that got me through the week was knowing that i could go to Abbys Lane on Saturday morning to pick up a new diaper for me and some new diapers for a baby shower i have Saturday afternoon!

My husband went back to work this week after being off since July. In that time he battled (and won!) colon cancer and had a big portion of his colon removed. He also battled (and won!) lung cancer and had 1 lobe of his lung removed. After a 1 month stay in the hospital for his lung his father then passed away of lung cancer just 1 week before Christmas. Neatless to say, it’s been an EXTREMELY rough few months around our house. We also have 4 kids and a newborn (which I had amongst all this). So, prayers answered and AMAZING news in our house this week!

I had a great experience asking my sister to do something while being really, really nice. I was really angry and it took everything I had not to tell her off and tell her she should be doing what I was asking for my mother without anybody telling her to, but I acknowledged she’ll always be the way she is and negativity would get me nowhere. Since then, I have vowed to always try the “catching more flies with honey” approach (especially around the holidays dealing with family), no matter how much things get to me. I have been trying REALLY hard to stay positive! 🙂

Best thing to happen to me this week, was while driving my three year old son home from his playgroup, he spontaneously says, “Mom, I like you.” 🙂 Now, he’s said I love you plenty of times and I love hearing that but this was the first time he has said “like you”. I know it’s a moment I need to savour because kids don’t always like their parents.

This week has had to be one of the hardest of weeks ever but has proven to be a blessing in disguise!
My husband bought 2 frozen turkeys of which one was thawing out in our fridge. As I was chopping vegetables up for the turkey dinner….I so cunningly had the cutting board balancing on the ledge of our counter. In mid thought I was thinking about how this is so potentially dangerous balancing the cutting board when….OH yes… the cutting board, garlic cloves and knife went overboard! With the knife falling right onto my foot point first! I stabbed myself in the foot! My husband rushed me off to the hospital where the doctor stitched my foot up.
The blessing you ask? The best part of my week??? 😉 Guess who takes care of baby and cloth diaper changing? hehe my husband! 😀 Doc says not to put any weight on it or to walk on it to allow the wound to heal–now our one year old daughter is a runner and climber of which I could not possibly run around after so my husband has taken this week off to take care of her and me! 🙂 I have been able to sleep in these last couple of days which is like the first time in years! And instead of me cooking breakfast and waking up early in the morning, my husband has assumed the role and actually makes a great scrambled eggs, sausage, and toast breakfast. I feel like this is a great little “sick” leave that I am getting as a stay at home mom. I am actually enjoying it.
So if I have to stab myself in the foot to get this mini vacation then maybe…haha just kidding….Dr. bill can get a bit high and husband will catch on and crutches do get old after a while…

The good thing that happened this week is that I was worried our daycare wouldn’t accept cloth diapers. I was prepared with examples of pocket diapers with aplix just so I could show them theyre as easy as disposables. I was relieved and excited to hear the principal not only say yes but that SHE cloth diapered her own son! What a relief!

I hate to say it, but we had nothing good happen this week. We’ve been waiting a month for my fiance’s workers’ compensation check because he got hurt at work and STILL can’t go back. We got an eviction notice, and if his check isn’t here an Monday we have to be out of our apartment by midnight. My baby is really sick and can’t sleep at night, and along with being hurt, my fiance also has bronchitis. Over the course of the week my sciatic has been getting worse and worse and this morning I couldn’t even get out of bed. My brother had to come over and pull me out of bed and push out my back enough so I could try to walk.
I guess I could say a good thing from this week is that we’re all still alive, but none of are healthy, and are on the verge of loosing our home again.

Dreaming of a New Year full of possibilities – my New Years’s resolution = Be open to the impossible and grasping it fearlessly. Welcoming in the answers to my prayers, and the solutions to our problems to come to us in miraculous ways, knowing that all things are possible. And having the courage and strength to allow them in, without resistance. Using this new mantra has been the best thing that happened to me this past week.
May you also find “impossible” solutions to your problems, without much struggle.

We are blessed to have a sitter who is so loving to our son and willing to do the cloth thing with us! Also, our new washer arrived today- my diapers are thanking me!

I was able to get back into the swing of things with the new baby, #6. I was concerned my days would be spent running around like crazy trying to get places on time with a hungry, wet diapered baby but it hasn’t happened like that. I was up early, warned up the car in time, out the door on time, baby slept through the drop off fiasco, picked up the kids on time with the baby in the Sleepy Wrap (and got TONS of compliments) and even ran to Target for returns and purchases with the 4 little kids. Repeat today! 🙂

My daughter was in a good mood all day today. She wasn’t crabby, she giggled and smiled, she napped well, she ate well. This is notable because she’s been sick lately and just … off. It was really nice to have my happy girl back!

We got tons of snow! I’ve been waiting all winter for snow and we finally got it. Plus my husband couldn’t go into work because of it so he basically got a whole week off!
