Real Excitement
Monday, August 24th, 2009Tomorrow!!!!!!
I can’t wait for tomorrow – not just because it is another day, full of fun.
But because tomorrow has the potential to be “New Pants day”. Read on…
With my final pay cheque before “full time mother” wages commence ( aka zilch), I thought I would treat myself – or rather treat “missy pants”, her nickname since becoming a cloth baby ( MP) to some pretty pants for her bottom- and while I was at it, I figured I would stock up on the BabyLegs offer while I was at it. And then 3 pairs became 6 pairs because I just couldn’t pick! And then I thought that perhaps it would be worth getting another wet nappy bag…
Whoops – that really hurt!
But when I got the email today – that glorious one entitled “ Your fill your pants order is on its way” then the pain was all forgotten. I squealed a little bit, in the most girly of ways and started getting the excited butterfly feeling in my tummy – at the imminent arrival of a very fluffy parcel.
A very, very fluffy parcel, full of beautiful Blueberry minky nappies, ready for MP to wear.
Now I am wondering if it will arrive in time for me to go to the informal discussion with the teaching agency. Will I be able to show off the pants tomorrow? Will I even be in to collect the delivery? Or will I miss it and have to wait yet another day? Oh no!!!
So now I am feeling the “what if I am out” fear, which is also strangely part of the excitement of waiting for the fluffy parcel.
I am already making plans of what time to get up so that I am dressed and decent for opening the door to Mr Postman! Last time, I wasn’t – poor man.
What if it isn’t even due to arrive tomorrow and I have to have another night of waiting??? Nope, can’ think about that one yet!
So fingers crossed that the exact time he arrives to deliver it – is the exact time between the meeting in the morning and then the meeting in the afternoon when I will be at home, all one hour and fifteen minutes of it. ( was anyone else stressy about the summons from the health visiting team for the 8-12 month check??)
And in fact, now I am begging – PLEASSSSSEEEEEEEEEE let me be in. I want her to wear her new pants very soon so I need to get them washed and dried too! Or at the very least, go to see the health visitor in a pretty dress, comfy bum and funky legs! ( yeah, those cow print ones that match the vests I bought her 
Please tell me that I am not the only to get this totally over excited about pants and be ever so pleased that they discovered the magic ( and beauty) of cloth?
Beware of updates – very excited, purple, fluffy updates!

ROFL! Cath you are too funny!
Well they did go out 1st Class, so all things being well with Royal Mail (although dont get me started on that one!) they ’should’ be with you tomorrow! Keep us posted!
Lol pleased to be amusing
Am in prime position looking out the front window… but with only ten minutes until i have to leave - eeek.
Hilarious! Wish I had bought them when I actually had cash…… Although will be back in the black in about six months, can’t wait that long to build my stash hence more Bumgenius, which I do love! My real favourite is the cow print and is saved for outings where will be envied…… February 2010 may have to buy more!
I do love the cow print too lol. Fantastic.
Will get the next one written very soon. very exciting indeed - sadly we are still washing and waiting for inners to dry so i havent been able to indulge - the baby legs however…….
That was funny!
Fortunately my postie puts mine in a special box, so it doesn’t matter if I misss him. I am now too patient to try new nappies that I don’t even pre wash.(naughty me!)
Cath you sure know how to brighten my day! - Funny post..I know exactly what it feels like to be waiting excitedly for a parcel like this to make it’s arrival, and it’s just as you described! 1st Class Mail is fast- but not barely FAST enough!
Thank you. Glad to have helped.
if i had the money i would love to order on next hour delivery via DHL;) but that would probably cost the same as new pants
Pants Alive is written and pending review…
