The new composting bin, don't worry it's going outside. It's rather large, isn't it.
I have been having so much fun reading everyone else's blog this morning and commenting I haven't written my own! Well that and, I wasted about a half hour going to the gym this morning, yes wasted. BECAUSE when I got there, they were closing the Lifetime Kid Club doors!!! Somebody had lice and they had to "fumigate" Probably just cleaning the carpets, but I'll pretend they were going to do a whole lot more! So I got there only to drive right back home.
We did come home and go to the park though, so the morning wasn't all wasted. Hayden rode his bike there. I kept thinking he was a little slow, but whatever. About half way there he complains his legs really hurt and they are very tired. It's then that I look down at his tires and notice they are FLAT. Then I remember how on Friday he was poking a little twig at his tires and I kept hearing the air escape. I told him not to, but he did it a couple times after that. You have got to love natural consequences. He had to finish the ride to the park and then ride it back home. I guess he won't be letting the air out of his tires anymore.
So, I amused myself outside this morning on the bus stop, now stop Hayley, this is not dirty. No really, I started laughing because my neighbor Kellie was saying bye to her little 2nd grader Katie and said "Now Katie be a good girl and don't drive Mrs. Plumlee crazy!" It reminded me of last night when Hayden was taking a bath and I said, "Wow that was a very fast bath...did you clean your butt?" Oh the things that we say to our children. "Hayden do not pick your nose and eat it!" "Are you sure you brushed your teeth this morning, what is that fuzz up there on the top row?" This could be a funny list to get going: the crazy, dumb, silly, sometimes obvious things we find coming out of our mouths as mothers and yes sometimes as wives too. Unfortunately. For instance, we were in the car going to church on Sunday, right on time :) and Scott had put the car into reverse, but was taking FOREVER to get moving. So I said "Come on let's go"!! He got annoyed with me and said "you are saying the obvious...I am going..." But he wasn't. Or how about...don't poke your tire, you will let all the air out and then Mommy will forget to pump air in and you will have to ride a flat tire to and from the park!!
Oh yeah I almost forgot, I got my composting bin at Costco on Friday. Good deal, it was only $35. They can run up to like $200, so I was happy. Then if it doesn't work out...I'm not out a ton of $$. I set the thing up this morning and was somewhat amused with the size of the bin in relation to the size of the "stuff" I had to put into this morning. It's going to take forever!

So what exactly are you going to do with the composting bin? I guess compost. Is that when you just let your food rot? That will smell good in the warm Houston climate. Are you sure you wiped good enough??? I don't ask that yet, but I imagine I will!
It's not supposed to smell bad...if it does, well that's why I only spent $35 on it...it will go bye bye. I will go add a link about composting, just for the fun of it. Have you wiped good enough, yeah that's a good one. Because if they don't, you pay for it later.
heather, i didn't even start thinking anything dirty about you amusing yourself at the busstop. i liked that kellie said 'don't drive your teacher crazy' ALL PARENTS NEED TO SAY THAT TO THEIR CHILDREN EVERYDAY!
Heather, that composting bin is cool! I wonder if dog poop should go in there too? Is that a gross idea?
NO dog poop! It has something to do with the fact that dogs eat meat...cow poop is fine. They don't eat meat, just grass. But I'm not cleaning up after a cow so it's not an issue. Likewise, no meat scraps can go it there. I wish I had all those leaves I threw away in the fall. Oh well next fall I will be ready.
I like those sayings--you really have to say these things, though, because sometimes kids don't rememeber to clean their butt in the tub. Also, where do you live in Houston? (Not that I want a street name or address :) My brother and sister-in-law! live in Sugarland, and we know some people who live in Katy, also. So, I thought since Houston is so small, you probably know eachother :)
Just like you probably know my old neighbors that moved to Austin. hehe. We live in the Northwest part of the Houston area...in Tomball, TX. Isn't that a terrible name? We are about 20-30 minutes from Sugarland and Katy. Katy Mills Mall, fun!
Oh well, I thought I'd ask. :) When my husband and I were dating in Utah, every time we saw a TX license plate I would ask him if he knew them (how annoying, right?) and he would say, "Yeah. It's just our family and those people that live in Texas."
