Last week I was at the Rite Aide to buy some overnight diapers for the babe. A homeless man sitting outside the front door jumped up to help me with maneuvering the stroller through the entrance. He was very kind.
While I was in the store I thought about giving him some change on my way out. I normally don't give money to people on the street as we're more of the registered charity kind of people. But he had been very thoughtful so I grabbed some coins from my wallet as I prepared to leave the store. When I made it through the door, he was sitting outside talking on a cell phone. I put the change back in my pocket and just smiled as I walked by.
I appreciated the help with the stroller, but I just can't justify giving money to someone on a cell phone. Is that wrong?
On another matter, my landlady came by this week with some work guys to check out our CAC system. She was sweet enough to bring an orange beanie baby for the babe named "Dearest." The babe seemed pretty impressed with the gift. After the landlady left, I went to the bathroom, with the door open, as usual. As I was washing my hands, the babe snuck in behind me and dumped Dearest in the toilet. I'm not sure what to do with Dearest now. It says surface wash only, so I guess the babe can just play with a toilet water toy. It had been flushed, so it can't be that bad.

Throw it in the washing machine!!! I have two rules in my house: 1. if it doesn't make it through the washing machine, too bad and 2. If it doesn't go in the dishwasher, too bad.
Can't do hand washing and I very rarely wash dishes. All the girls soft toys go for "fun baths" and then drip dry on the line, haven't had a drama yet and they all say "surface wash only".
Good luck with it!!
Lots of love Cath
