Miracle Diapers and Expensive Chew Toys

I love Pampers! I love them! I love them! I love them!
Let me tell you why... Sunday, Everette and I got back from Indy around 5 PM. Jonathan was pretty wiped (although not really too grouchy), he woke up at 7 AM and had only slept maybe two hours total for the rest of the day. I changed Jonathan's diaper at the Cheesecake Factory around 2:30. When we got home, Jonathan was hungry so I gave him a bottle and he fell asleep. I laid him in his crib thinking he would only sleep for an hour. I was wrong. He slept the whole night.... I mean until 7:30 this morning (poor guy had quite a weekend). He was even in his clothes (a collared shirt and cordorouy pants no less). He didn't even make a peep. And miraculously when he did wake up he wasn't even fussy. He was just cooing away happily in his crib. So I went in expecting to find a soaking wet baby, and wet sheets. While I did find an intensely stinky and incredibly saturated diaper, my babies clothes were dry. AMAZING! I was quite happy! And here is the icing on this delicious cake... After a bottle Jonathan went back to sleep in our bed until 10:30. What a glorious day!

On a not so glorious note, if any of you know some one who know some one who "wacks" dogs. Please contact me. I am looking to have my dog "wacked". It is either that or start selling drugs or black market goods-I can't keep up with Max's expensive chew toy taste. He has a flavor for down comforters. He chewed through one. Which left us with the Queen-size comforter from our guest room--I don't know if any of you have seen Everette and me but, we don't exactly fit under a queen-size comforter. We are exclusively patriarchal when it comes to our bedding. Which left us pretty grumpy in the mornings after several nights of Blanket Wars. It was not a marriage building activity. So I found an incredible deal. I found a King size REAL down Ralph Lauren Comforter for $69.00 at TJMaxx. I was quite pleased with myself. Until last evening. While Everette was taking a nap, Max ate a hole through the Duvet cover and the down comforter right on top of Everette's legs (this should give you an idea of what kind of sleeper Everette is). I have never been so angry. It is actually amazing. I have smacked Max in the head before, and I really wanted to last night. But I didn't. I didn't because I knew if i started I wouldn't stop until he was seriously hurt. I was that mad. So Now Everette and I are back to the tiny cover, and now I have two down comforters with holes in them and feathers all over my bedroom (one can hope they might miraculously sweep up the dust)! Arrg!

That sucks that Max is chewing so much! You should talk to my mom. She made that fabulous fleece covered down blanket out of scraps from her down comforter. You could maybe at least get some use out of it. We fight over that little baby blanket.

Of all weeks to lose a down comforter... I feel your pain. Try overstock.com - I found a down comforter pretty cheap there a few years ago.

i think if you're just sick and tired of your dog, for whatever reason... the humane society will take them... then they may or may not get "wacked" you never know. but someone who doesn't use down comforters might want him?

i had a friend who just couldn't stand her puppy anymore... too much stress. she called the local humane society and they took him...
