As I sit here on the couch, cradled by the silence that comes at 1:18am, I can't help but want to start screaming and wake everyone up. I'm struggling right now to walk the delicate line between doing what is good (for my family, and the earth) and turning into a raving lunatic who outlaws any questionable things in the house no matter how convenient they make living our lives day to day.
About 2 hours ago I started reading about which plastics are better than others (because apparently none of them are all that great) and they effects the really bad ones have on people (and lab animals). About 1 hour ago I went through my kitchen like a tornado checking the bottoms of all my plastic cups and containers checking to make sure I wasn't inadvertently poisoning my family. Thankfully most of what we use on a daily basis fell into the "Ok" plastic category, but a few things had to be tossed, including an unopened package of red "party" cups that coincidentally should not be used for alcoholic beverages.
I'm not really sure what I'm trying to get at with this post. I just want nothing bad to ever happen to my girls or husband and I also don't want to drive myself crazy trying to stop it. I guess this is the plight of every wife and mother....No wonder I'm getting gray at 27!!!
