I'm frustrated that Chapel collections haven't allowed our Catholic 
womens' group to maintain our current schedule and childcare 
without a lot of strife.  I don't really want to overcome things, 
but I suppose we're going to have to, and the changes are 
going to be ongoing for the next few months.  Man, change is not easy.

How cool is this deck and children's play area?  In my someday 
house... a friend of mine has a more simple idea of this at her 
house already, but not so beautifully executed.

We tried these sweet potato fries the other night minus the dip 
they suggested... due to a lack of sriracha.  They turned 
out OK, but next time I need to use about half the cornstarch.  
Also, apple butter was a perfectly acceptable dip substitute, 
especially for my children!

Deployment is nearing an end, YAY!!

But my husband is going to come home looking HOT!  
I'm feeling slightly self conscious -- and I didn't expect that.

Over on Conversion Diary, Jennifer actually wrote about 
reusable toilet paper, and suggested that 
those of us who use cloth diapers might know something about 
it or be more likely to consider it...  WELLLLLLL...  
I cloth diaper, BUT I use disposable wipes.  I know, I'm half a**ing 
it, but I'm OK with that, and the idea of washing diaper-like laundry 
indefintely does not appeal.  AT ALL.  I'll be a latecomer to that 
bandwagon, if I ever get on it!

I cannot seem to find pants that fit my 7 year old.  We've mainly 
tried Walmart, since it's the only option that's close and the 
PX has NOTHING in his size(s).  It doesn't help that he's in 
between an 8 and a 10.  Turns out that it's a big gap between those 
sizes!  So we're off to the mall, 90 minutes away this weekend... 
Ahhhh, country living.
