Going green...and I'm a happy evil republican

I know that I'm not even pregnant yet, but I have made a decision for my new baby to be! Let me back up a little. I feel a little guilty. I *totally* want a third baby, but does that put me into the 'breeder' category? Am I one of those jerks that is carelessly overpopulating this precious Earth we live on? Yes, yes I am a jerk. Actually, to be completely honest I was okay with never having another bio kid. Jeff and I were looking into foster care because I wanted more kids in my home and there are so many in need.

I went to the first Foster care information meeting and I decided that as much as I wanted a baby, I was more interested in an older child. I felt greedy wanting a baby when so many people do turn to foster care when private adoption of a baby is too expensive. I decided on a child between the ages of 3 and 7. Then I got cold feet. Sorry to be blunt, but my main concern was that I didn't want an older child to act out sexually against my children. My kids still are innocent and I plan on keeping it that way. Until they are 30 or so. :D Also, after Jeff agreed to foster kids I think he started thinking of more bio kids. He is adopted and I think that seeing people that are genetically related to him is sort of thrilling. Long story short, we aren't doing foster/adopt for now.

In one fell swoop, I have gone from doing something good for this world, to pillaging its resources and polluting. You all know that laundry is a huge thorn in my side, so cloth diapering has always been out for me. Then I saw this...presenting the flushable gDiaper:



Isn't that so damn cute? Look at that little 'g' yo! Hee heee. Anyway. Anyway gDiapers are sort of like cloth diapers, but they have a plastic liner inside that you tuck a flushable pad into. Voila! Flushable diaper! You can also compost it...but that just makes me laugh hysterically. Flush I can do...compost? Not so much. I went to Whole Foods yesterday and bought a starter pack and they are so cute that I want to eat them! Sheesh!

If I am unfortunately suddenly infertile and never have a third baby, well then...maybe I will give them away. But for now I took at them, and hold them, and read about them online and hold them and stare at them and pat the little invisible baby bottom to be. I'm glad that there is an alternative to adding to diaper hill.

In other great news...Glenn Beck is moving to Fox news in the spring! I have been a fan for a long time and his show was pretty much the only reason I would flip to CNN. I was exasperated when I sat down to watch Glenn Beck one night and he was...gone! I was so sad until I saw him on Bill O'Reilly last week. In all honesty Bill is just snarky and annoying, but I am thrilled that he is going to have Glenn Beck on his show every Friday. www.glennbeck.com just announced that Mr. Beck is going to have his own show starting in the spring. Hip hip hooray! The evil republican in me is happy.
