Quirky Mom, Quirky Family
I have 14 of these, size 1. 12 are unbleached, two are white. The two that are white are older, the 12 that are unbleached were used for about two months.
I’d like 8$ per diaper or 100$ for all 14. If you take all 14, I’ll include shipping, otherwise shipping will be 8$ (flat rate priority box).
Well, I am. I’m outraged that I am not currently outraged. Don’t get it? It’s hard to explain. It bothers me that I am no longer bothered by most of the world events going on. I mean, I am sad that there is so much violence, so much unnecessary hunger and homelessness. So much poverty, real and imagined.
But that is nothing new. My five dollars a month isn’t really going to feed some starving child a cup of rice a day. In reality, it will go to some salary. My donation at the local womens center does more to help the world that trying to send money half a world away and hope it makes it to it’s destination.
I’m not as mean and heartless as this makes me sound. Really, I promise. I’d just rather help out the folks in my back yard before I help out the folks in someone else’s backyard, that’s all. Whatever happened to “charity starts at home?” Why can we feed the world, but we can’t feed ourselves?
Michael took the boys to the book fair this morning. D picked out a general book, C picked out a hebrew book. Which is cool, I love that I can read hebrew and I am all about the kids learning. I just think it’s a little early. Dorian writes his name in reverse a lot, because hebrew is read right to left. I don’t think it is damaging him, and I know their brains are little sponges right now, but…
I love Judaism, I just don’t love it as a religion. Does that make sense? Traditionally, I celebrate all the holidays, bit and small. Well, I at least acknowledge them. I detest going to synagogue. I feel so out of place. Maybe it’s my own fault? We are members at a Chassidic orthodox synagogue. I am a little noticeable. Just a bit. I find myself singing jewish songs and whatnot during the day. I don’t know. I am so happy the kids are able to go to HACS, it’s a much better education than public school would be.
I don’t know where I was going with this.
