Midweek Confessions

Last night I was doing one final bathroom run before we headed to bed. As I walked past a pile of clothes waiting to be washed today, I noticed Cody had dropped a shirt in it. The shirt that he had on for a total of 5 hours last night after work, while he pretty much sat around the house, played with Griffin and did absolutely nothing to actually get it dirty.

I couldn't have even stopped my mom coming out of me if I wanted too. Thanks to some prompting by me, Cody saw the error of his ways and put the shirt up. He also won't even do it again, or else I told him he's on laundry duty for a month!

And mom- I'm sorry for all of those times I stupidly put clothes in the hamper when they were obviously still clean. I see the error of my ways now!

I think Pinterest is a wonderful thing, but I also think it's ruined blogging a little bit. Because I have a super easy tip to share with y'all about how to keep your tupperware from getting stained, but thanks to Pinterest, I feel like I have to create a super cute picture to go with a lengthy blog post so that I can be the next pin-nomenon.  It's too much people!

Here's your cooking tip with no frills attached:

Next time you're putting food into a container that will most likely stain tupperware (for example: spaghetti) spray with it with cooking spray before putting it in and you'll keep your container clean!

I realized today that I know absolutely nothing about parenting.  Specifically disciplining a 10 1/2 month old. I had to get on to Griffin several times for continually getting into the kitchen cabinet under the sink, which of course contains lots of things he shouldn't be playing with. It didn't matter how many times I told him no, smacked his hand and moved him away, he kept coming back to it. And actually, he would smile bigger at me each time after I told him no!

So do you just keep at it and eventually they get the hand of it? Help!

{I also bough baby proofing supplies yesterday... just waiting for Cody to install them!}

So my #50MilesInJuly probably isn't going to happen. I knew I would lose a week to camp, but Griff getting sick knocked me back a few more days and now I need to do like 3-4 miles a day for the rest of the month to make it. And y'all, I'm just not that dedicated.  But I'm telling myself that every mile does count, and even if I only make it to 25, it's still more than I did last month.... Or something like that!

I started a new diet today, just to help cleanse from vacation and camp food overload. Why is it as soon as I decide I'm not allowed to have coffee, the weather is perfectly set up for sitting on the back porch, enjoying the cool weather, rain and a great cup of coffee?  Sigh. Let's hope this weather comes back again soon!
