I’m pulling all the leftovers of the week, and that’s what we are having on Thursdays. I get a break from cooking and food isn’t wasted. So here’s to left over Thursdays! Yum!

Right now when I should be doing thankful Thursday, I am just so blue. Don’t get me wrong. I love my new apartment. I’m incredibly grateful to have this place. But right now I’m completely frustrated. I bought over forty cloth diapers from my friend Kelly over at The Teeny Tiny Mommy, along with inserts, cloth wipes, some left over detergent, California baby diaper wash and diaper cream, wet bags, and a diaper sprayer that I’m going to get hopefully soon all for 260 bucks! Great freakin’ deal right? I’m mega excited! Only probably is I don’t have my own washer machine. The my diaper bucket is over flowing an sticking up Donnie’s room, and the laundry room on the bottom floor only takes quarters. It’s going to cost me 3 dollars to wash a load alone. Not only that another dollar to dry the inserts and the wash cloths (I hang dry the shells). I’ve thought about washing the diapers in the tub, just wear rubber gloves. Only thing is, I don’t have rubber gloves and I don’t have the detergent because I left it at my mother’s. Im frustrated because I really want to cloth diaper! I asked me dad if he could bring me to my mothers I’ll wash the diapers and then when Nico gets out of work he could just pick me up at my mom’s. I could also bring stuff back that I has left at my mother’s. I’m just so frustrated that i don’t have a car and it’s already getting to me being cooped up in house all day. I’m already in tears and my emotions are getting the best of me today. I couldn’t get any sleep last night because my bed is old and so firm. Every morning I wake up feeling like my body got hit by a train. I’m exhausted, and even more frustrated now because I shouldn’t be crying over something like this. I should just suck it up and just think of the positives, but what I really want to do is shut down and sleep in a comfy bed.

Donnie finished his pancakes before me and wants more so I give him some of mine. That did not satisfy him, so I said eat your fruit and I’ll give you more. Then he throws the plate on the floor. He immediately went to time out. When I took him out I explained to him we do not throw the plate on the floor. As soon as I sat him down he handed me the plate, like if he was done. Gave him milk, throws that on the floor and points at my plate. Time out again for throwing the milk. Definitely am going to work harder on my discipline for this child. Lord help me.

Got all my packing done. Just have 4 small boxes, 2 of which are stuff to be put in the bathroom, the other 2 are just misc. crap to be organized and stored away. The only complaints I have about this apartment is lack of storage space (only one closet aside from closets for the bedrooms!), and how small our bathroom is. Also the lack of storage for bathroom as well. Once Nico gets home, we are going to Walmart to get some storage baskets, and I get to get out of the house for a bit. I’m kind of already going stir crazy. Wish it was warmer out to go for a walk to explore the neighborhood. :/

Donnie is adjusting great though! He is having so much fun running around the apartment, and just talking/screaming in excitement. Also he loves playing with Nico. He loves being chased around the house by him.

I’m really quite happy where I am though. Even though it sucks not having a car (hopefully with my tax money I can get one), I like the fact that I am able to spend more one and one time with my son. I’m going to be soon finding a new job once we are settled and my car situation is situated.
