whatever

gee I hadn't realized how long it has been since I wrote a blog!!!!
Now that we can't get on to the internet anymore at work this really sucks big time.
i really only went on the net during my lunch time which is really my own time I would say.
But no "big Brother" now moniters everything we do.

oh well enough of the ranting. My first grandchild is going to be a boy and I coudn't be any happier. His name is Jude Michael( named for his paternal uncle and grandfather) and after his Dad. I can't wait to see the newest member of the family. I will be going to La. to help after the baby is born. it has been awhile since I changed diapers, about 22 years maybe. Except for the occasional diaper changing of kids in the nursery at church. I think I can still do it. it's like riding a bike, you never forget.

except the last time I did change a diaper, it was my great neice Danielle and things were a little bit different. They have little characters across the front so you know which is the back or front. And the tabs were different too. I can remember if you got desitine on the tabs they wouldn't stick. Ofcourse I didn't use too many "Pampers", I stayed home from work after my son,who is now 25, was born. we were poor so I used cloth diapers. AW, there is nothing like the swirl method of getting poop out of a cloth diaper in the toilet. My favorite thing was the rubber pants. they got real soft if the went in the dryer. And crackled and got real hard afterward. I did use the disposals when we went to church and out of town. My youngest, Jessica< was allergic to "pampers", so we went the cloth route too with her. There is nothing like the smell of a real rank diaper pail. Do they still make those, and the little cake of air freshner that gave the diaper pail a wonderful pine smell, I felt like I was in the North Woods on that one. Oh well, now they have this thing called a diaper genie. I am imagining Barbara Eden crossing her arms and blinking once and the kid is changed, or a big blue guy pops out of the top and says " What do you want" ?? Presto changeo, But I don't think that is what that thing is for. I just know who ever invented Pampers, huggies, Luvs, and all the rest, God bless you.
