For those of you who use Charlie’s for diapers, PLEASE make an informed decision.

There is a buzz about Charlie’s being the same as Sport Wash. Sport’s Wash has cased MANY babies to get burns on their bottoms, and I had mixed results with it on Matthew’s diapers. Personally I have a hard time believing this is the case, just because we had poor results after time with SportsWash, but Charlie’s has been very kind on his bum. If the claim is true about Charlie’s being the same as SportWash and just labeled differently I would think Matthew would have the same redness problems.

I recently read this thread about Charlie’s and SportWash and many other mamas are reporting the same findings as I am… different results from the different labels. The information I gathered from this thread is clear, if you use Charlie’s, you may need to use a small amount of bleach in addition to the soap to make sure that all that the diaper is completely disinfected and all bacteria is killed.

I think I will be calling in the morning to see if I can get an official policy.

In any case, I still LOVE Charlie’s, I just don’t want to blindly endorse it.

As you can see I have added a Disclosure policy to the bottom of my blog so you will be able to see where I stand as far as paid ads. I made it by using the Disclosure Policy Generator on DisclosurePolicy.com. I think is important to have a disclosure policy so you, my readers, know exactly where I stand. It will be updated as I add to it, so feel free to revisit my policy at any time.

Bobby’s co-worker loves the Dog Whisperer and has rubbed off on my husband. He got me interested when I watched some clips on the National Geographic Channel Website. Cesar Millan does some very impressive work with some very bad dogs. Many of these dogs are aggressive, shy, or just plain crazy! We just added The Dog Whisperer to our season pass manager and today four recorded for our enjoyment.

Today we have seen dogs that attack people, other animals, dogs who are too laid back and have to be carried or drug from place to place, to dos who are so timid they are . Cesar has some AMAZING animal mojo, and I am so impressed on how well he can whip these dogs into shape.

The pictures on this page are of my dog, Chloe who is napping in our family room with us right now. She’s not an aggressive dog, that is for sure, but we will be trying some of the lessons Cesar Millan shows us to teach her how to properly great house-guests.

PS. The title of this blog is an actual Cesar Millan quote from a show on a sheep dog named Kobe.

Sunday is such a shuffle around here… we have to make sure all the papers are signed and in backpacks; make sure that coats, shoes and backpacks are in the right spot. We have to make sure everyone is bathed and ready. I was so thankful for Daylight Savings, just because it gave us an extra hour to get stuff done. Our dinner was early because our stomach’s do not know to ‘fall back’, and it was very nice. Tomorrow morning is going to be a real bitch though when I am dragging my butt out of my warm downy bed at what it thinks is 5am.

Take a look at this video titled Take Back the Capitol! This video is a grass-roots political viral video dedicated to overturning the Republican control of Congress in the November,2006 election.

The video is very well done and makes some valid points. I believe any time you have an unbalance in anything, their is a corruption of power.

Open your mind and take a look, you may just learn a thing or two.

My dear husband,
you are so smart and tallented. You do not give yourself enough credit when it comes to school. I wish you would trust yourself more, you don’t have enough confidence in your talents! You are an eloquent and capable writer, I promise you would be fine without my help.

I love you!

your loving wife

Not quite an easy button, but still easy. Print Country offers a wide selection of printer ink cartridges for very low prices. Because they want their customers to fall in love with their great services and super low prices they are offering Free Printer Ink Cartridge Samples to people with compatible printers. They think that once you try their services you will love them enough to keep going back.

We finally got the older two kids their costumes. We ended up going to a Halloween store, just because I was not in the mood to fight over the last of the costumes at Target or Walmart, so I am sure we spent more, but oh well, its done. Austin is going to be an “unknown phantom”, Christopher is going to be a “dark ninja”, and Matthew is going to be a lion, his costume was purchesed weeks ago.

It worked out well that they found the costumes they liked, especially since the costumes they wanted they found on a flyer from another store. We had to compromise a bit with Austin who wanted to be the guy from “Scream”.

We also got pumpkins today when we were picking up some groceries for dinner. I think we will be carving them tomorrow since we are going to Taekwondo Monday instead of Tuesday this week.

Well, I got all the way to #41 last night, and then my computer would not go into hibernate, so I had to install a patch and restart it and I lost all my progress. Thankfully, Internet Explorer saved all my links and it was a sinch to get back to where I was. I knew the link of where I was, but the fantastic challenege of WeffRiddles is you often need to go back to puzzles you already did to find the answers, so I wanted to do it right.

I think before diving back in and giving myself a headache I am going to get some work done around the house.

3:20am and I finally am giving up for the night. I am on #41 and my mind is jell-o.
