POOP
"So, Jill, what do you do all day now that you're not working anymore?"
"Well, other than take care of my two darling girls, I clean up poop."
(laughter)
"No, seriously, I clean up poop." (not laughing)
I've had this conversation a few times now. The reason is that I have begun potty training Hazel and have started using cloth diapers for Luna. This means that I'm cleaning out a lot of poop and doing a lot of laundry. Some of you may think I'm crazy for using cloth diapers in a third world country but it's so much cheaper, the diapers don't end up in the river and it really hasn't been hard at all. It just means that I need to put on my beautiful yellow rubber gloves and clean out some poop from time to time.
Hazel has had her good potty-trainging moments and her not so good potty-training moments. I won't go into much detail (I'm tired of using the word poop), but let's just say that she had 3 baths today.
On top of all this, the other day, my wondeful nephews made their mom stop the truck so they could jump out and catch a stray kitten for me. Aren't they sweet? I brought the half-starved kitten home, bathed it because it stunk like dead rat, and began to pet and love it. It thanked me by pooping on my leg. I then barricaded it in the computer room. By morning I couldn't take the smell any longer and moved it outside. I haven't seen it since (sorry Brodie and Drew).
I'm really hoping this phase in my life moves along quickly (although I have a sneaky feeling it's only just begun).
Sorry, I don't have any photos to post.

Way to go Jill, I used cloth diapers for both Meadow and Kazan even though we lived without running water in our house. I just went visiting with my diaper pail!
Have a great day Patti
What? no pictures of poop for us?
Oh I love when you get to experience all that fun that I got to go through. It can feel at times like your life revolves around poop, and that cat sounds awesome. If it is any consolation I have 3 pairs of Poopy underwear drying in my upstairs bathtub as we speak.
