Deep Thoughts by DCMomma

Deep thoughts... I remember a SNL skit that was by a character Jack Handy. It was hysterically funny. Ah for the days when SNL was still funny. So today is my homage to Deep thoughts and other ramblings.
I have to admit I am a half-crunchy mom. I'm the organic eating, baby carrying ( we use an ergo), co-sleeping, city walking, disposable diapering, Wallyworld shopping mom. Yes I shop at Wallyworld. I love to support local businesses and we do on a regular basis. We do most of our food shopping at a local organic market. I strive to buy local as much as I can. But then there is the other me.
I have to admit it is VERY hard to pass a Wallyworld when I am near one and not go in for some wipes and diapers for a start. When you are living in an expensive city on a not so enormous paycheck you have to compromise. So with that being said I do buy my disposable diapers cheaply at a mega store. I also stock up on paper products there, why not? Why can't you be a little crunchy and a little practical.
We are certainly not made of money. My adorable husband is a police officer and we are very proud he is. Police officers are not on the highest paid list of jobs. When we decided to have a family we decided one dangerous job would have to go. I made the choice to give up my career as a Paramedic, and I certainly do not regret it. So we have to make concessions.
I don't know anyone who doesn't have to choose between what they want to be able to so and what they can afford to do. So that is where we are. We do what we can and then fill the rest in with low prices from Wallyworld.
