I had the greatest of intentions today. We were going to go to the big Earth Day parade and festival for kids in downtown Birmingham this morning. I thought we'd take some cans to the recycling plant and maybe plant a tree or some flowers. None of that happened, unfortunately. David was feeling a bit under the weather and stayed home today, nothing serious, but I wanted Dennis to get plenty of rest to keep himself healthy just in case. I had intended to get a cute picture of him in his 'earth friendly' shirt to post today but he never made it out of his pajamas. He is miserable with diaper rash as well and touching his clothes caused him major anxiety since he worked his hardest to make each diaper change impossible.
On the bright side, I got all my grocery shopping done, as I am having some folks over for dinner tomorrow night. I got some house cleaning done, and Dennis got to play happily with all his toys. I attempted to nap when I put him down this afternoon, but after listening to his fire truck siren on and on and on (because he clearly didn't think he needed that afternoon nap and therefore didn't take it), I gave up and got up and cleaned a bit.
I DID use re-usable shopping bags on both my trips to Wal-Mart. And I turned off all the lights in the rooms I wasn't using. I also carefully avoided stepping on the frog in my path tonight on my evening walk. All earth friendly things, please notice, because I do care. We'll get to the recycling and planting very soon!
