I just can't go there

I love trying new things and doing things outside of my comfort zone, however this doesn't apply to just anything.  Here are some things I just won't do.  You can't make me!

Cloth diapers.  I understand the whole carbon footprint deal, I understand saving money.  I also understand that when a baby poops or pees in a DISPOSABLE diaper all I have to do is grab some wipes, and bing bang boom!  Diaper changed and IN THE GARBAGE.  That gives me a greater high then saving money and the carbon footprint.  I turn the water off when I'm brushing my teeth, so I am doing my part in saving the environment.

I read a blog from a lady I don't even know.  She has good recipes, she's funny, and she also gives away free stuff every week.  She recently showed how to make your own laundry detergent.  GO HER!  I think that's great.  I also think that Gain is great.  I'm sticking to the Gain.
AND Allen breaks out into a rash if I even think about buying something other then Gain.  I am going to tell my grandmother about this neat homemade trick, I think she will wanna give it a shot.

Gardening.  I really gave the garden an effort this year.  And when I say "effort" I mean bought veggie plants, bought miracle grow, and half heartily stuck them in the ground.  I expected the miracle grow to do the rest.  Well just so you know miracle grow doesn't exactly live up to its name.  My plants grew like crazy, ZERO produce.  I had a tomato the size of a small strawberry, and squash the size of my fingernail.  I don't have a green thumb apparently.  However our local grocer has a fantastic produce department, and Allen's grandparents have a nice stash of fresh veggies from there garden.  For now that will take care of all my vegetable needs.

Whole chicken.  GAG I would never eat chicken again if I had to cut it up and rip it apart and yuck yuck yuck!  My grandmother could take a single chicken rip the guts out, cut it up (bone in of course) and make 300 meals for like .20 a meal.  She rocks...I do not.  There isn't anything that a chicken offers me that I can't get out of the frozen freezer section.  There are frozen, deskinned, and deboned thighs, and breast.  If your a wing fan your in luck they have frozen wings as well. 





So I'm a cheater I use disposable diapers, buy laundry detergent, buy produce, and buy pre cut chicken.  I'm a stay at home mom of a rowdy household, all I'm trying to do is protect my sanity, even if it costs my pocketbook more.
