Flats Challenge Day 6

I feeling really tired today. Perhaps because my little monkey decided that she didn't want to fall asleep between 4:30 and 5:30 am. It is partially my fault because I should have went right in when she started fussing but I thought she would fall back asleep on her own. No such luck. We survived but boy am I tired.

I had a moment of panic yesterday because I was running short on flats. Due to the rain I couldn't hang them outside and they don't dry nearly as fast inside. Today we have some sun and a breeze so as soon as we got home from the Antique show I put them outside. Hopefully they'll dry faster.

I feel limited by 18 flats. I only have noticed it because I have to wash more often. Usually if I am running low on prefolds, I use flats or vice versus. Some days I feel like using AppleCheeks or BG's. I miss the convenience of selection. Although I like the flats on a whole because of the ease of washing and drying them.

Today I finished up a load of washing that I had soaking overnight and left the rinse water in to put the next load in tonight to soak. Trying to conserve water.

Last night I did a much better job of the kite fold. It actually looked trim and did up on my chubby little one. I found the origami doesn't work so well with the added layers and Snappis. C still manages to soak through 3 flats and a bamboo flat.

I haven't missed my washing machine until today and I only miss it today because I'm sleepy and don't want to think about washing diapers by hand. I will continue though because I'm not one to back out on a challenge.
