Getting back to rountine madness

Posted on Oct 12 in parenting, personal storiesby PrintText Resizer Text Resizer

Routine is important in this house, especially now that Everly is with us. For the last week or so our routine has been jacked up. There has been no marching band practice for Everly and I due to fall break. It’s been nice having the time to get caught up around the house.

Most of my lengthy to-do list is complete and it’s been less stressful around here but now it’s time to get back in to the swing of things. That is the hard part.

E slept okay last night. She was in bed by like 7pm, woke to feed at midnight and again at 6am. We were all up at 9:30am because Everly’s overnight diaper had sprung a leak. She was in a Knickernappies diaper and she soaked it so naturally once the insert was soaked it leaked out the insert pocket in the back making for a wet outfit and crib sheet.

After a change and a feed we were back in bed for some early morning cuddling because darn it was cold in the house! We didn’t hear any offending noises but there sure was this smell coming from under the covers… Almost rotten egg like and I thought aloud “It wasn’t me… Could it be E? I just changed her.”

N just laughed at my reaction to the stink and went down to make coffee while E and I laid there some more. The smell didn’t get better, only worse so I got up and was going to check E’s diaper…

Sure enough she loaded her fresh bumGenius diaper and poop oozed right up and out of the diaper at her right leg. Her 2nd outfit was also covered in poop now… She sure is a master diaper loader!

Now she’s napping. I got the laundry folded, picked her clothes for the day out (it’s gonna be chilly), I’ve got a load of clothes in the wash being stripped and I am blogging.

N went to the post office and to drop off our recycling mess because this is how the garage was looking:

Recyclables are taking over the garage! on Twitpic

I still need to eat, dress myself, feed the pets… feed, change, medicate and dress Everly for the day and get the diaper bag packed for our long day…

Tomorrow we’ll also have band practice and it will be Everly’s 4 month birthday… Then on Wednesday we’ve got “take 2″ of our family photo shoot (because of this drama) and I’ll be doing Webcast Wednesday here… It’s back to the insane swing of things around here and time is flying!

P.S. I little birdie told me that email subscriptions to my blog are no longer working. Upon investigation I noticed that feedburner says I now have zero email subscribers when I know I had many people who were receiving email alerts of my new blog posts… So if you like email alerts consider resubscribing now. Sorry dudes!

I love routines. My house seems to run so much more organized when things go as planned.

Good luck with Take 2! I hope it turns out this time ;-)

Oh, I am SOOO happy to be past the diaper blowout stage. I don't envy you at all for that.
