Cloth diaperes and other things I don't have time for

So I ordered a box full of different types of cloth diapers. I opted for the fitted kind, which are shaped somewhat like a disposable diaper and have closures, rather than being a flat sheet you have to fold and pin. The box came in the mail about two weeks ago, and, here it sits on my desk - unopened.

Seeing as I haven't had time to open the box and give the diapers their initial wash I think this means I don't have time to wash diapers every other day or so. Probably, right? I then made time to search for a diaper service in Montclair. And much to my surprise, dismay, chagrin, and alarm there is no frigging diaper service in Montclair!!! How the hell can this be? This is Montclair, the uber liberal, artsy, green, progressive Yippy (Yuppie/Hippie) city-burb of New Jersey! They've got everything any mom, arty, bookish, monied, green person could ever ask for! Everything, that is, but cloth diapering service. I guess it's because all the wealthy Montclair moms have their nannies do the laundry, including the cloth diapers. SUCH A BUMMER!

So, I am going to have to look into other more environmentally friendly diapers as I can't afford to quit my job so I can stay home washing f'ing diapers all day. Why is it so hard to try to live in an environmentally friendly and sustainable way? Why!?

I also don't have time right now to:

1. Edit my friend's manuscript
2. Clean the house
3. Go out and shop for a good book
4. Put in all the extra time I'd like to on work stuff (actually I just choose not to do this as I'd rather hang with Sam)

At the very least I am able to breast feed Sam which means he's should have super human immunity to, like every disease and virus ever. Right? And hes should never gain any excess weight, and he's going to be a super frigging genius. Or at least that's what they say in all the crap you find about breast feeding. Between work, taking care of Sam and home, nursing, and these classes I'm going to take to finally finish the NYU publishing certificate I no longer have time for much else, including shaving my legs. Poor Tripp.

Someone should just pay me a salary for being so awesome so I could spend more time doing the other stuff I would like to do. I mean, seriously.

Homie- I can ship you a freaking book if you don't have time.

Look at it this way, you can either do these things and forgo the sleep you've already missed....

Right now I'm reading one of the books you sent - Endgame 1945. Kind of stuffy British writing. And I'm pretty sure the author is a flaming homosexual...or maybe that's just how British people write? Like flaming homosexual Americans? Veird.
