The Weekends

Don’t you hate some weekends? When you don’t have anything to do, your just sitting at home on the couch watching boring t.v reruns? Or you don’t have any friends to hang out with. You can’t spend the night. Your parents aren’t doing anything really. They say they have plans but don’t do them. Your phone is turned off and the house is cleaned. You have your chores done. You just have nothing to do. Your homework is done. You really just want to get out of the house and hang out. Your life on the weekend just sucks. The computer is just out of your element at sometimes. Or your mom is annoying and just talks to herself over and over about work. How it’s hard to work for people but then you suck it up and you listen to what she is saying.

This is sometimes my life. Examples of how boring it can really be sometimes. For all kids it is probably like this. But there are things that people can do on the weekends even when you think there isn’t anything. Or to at least be thankful that you are alive. That’s all I have to say.

Basketball

Basketball is a great activity. For tall people in occasion. I am tall and I am only 11 almost taller than my mom. But a few days ago I started  playing basketball and I had an interest in it and I loved it. Even running has been a natural to me ever since I have ran my entire life. My dad was a track runner, football player, and basketball player. My mom was a bodybuilder and with there efforts I have more energy than a cheetah running over 75 miles per hour in the Savannah. Basketball is a pleasure and to the tall people out there it is great way to have fun also you can meet people on your team in the same position like you. Hang out and have a great time. Even my cousin Brandon is a famous basketball player in Springfield and our whole entire family is tall. So just say it runs in both sides of the family. My half sister also plays basketball. Try basketball! It’s a great chance taken!

Oil is Used to Make Diapers? More Parents Going Green and Cloth.

Yes folks.  I have been hearing about oil for cars and airplanes.  But I am learning that oil is used in diapers, as well as other chemicals.  And I also found out that baby diapers take a very long time to break down.

So all of these people are going “green.”  Which is the new way of living your life in a more natural way.

Babies “R” Us has increased its stores’ inventory of natural and organic items over the past two years to more than 300 separate products. It carried just a few dozen items only a few years ago.

The retailer reports an increase in baby registries that include organic food, organic cotton clothing, natural bedding and environmentally friendly cleaners.

“I wouldn’t call this a trend. This is definitely a lifestyle change,” says Babies “R” Us spokeswoman Jamie Beal.

At Park + Vine, a “green” general store in Over-the-Rhine, green baby and parent products make up 20 percent of the inventory, up from 10 percent when the store opened a year ago, says owner Dan Korman.

Cincinnati also has a new cloth diaper service, Good Natured Baby, which has 16 customers, says Amy Hruschak of Liberty Township, who started the business with her husband, P.J., after their son Rory, 16 months, was born.

“Six years ago (when her oldest was born), it was kind of unheard of to use cloth diapers, and people thought you were a weirdo,” says 30-year-old Donyé Cortese of Mount Auburn. “Then it kind of seemed like the whole green thing became easier to do.”

The dizzying array of green products at specialty stores, major retailers and online prompted 25-year-old Suzanne Istvan of Oakley to start greenmommyguide.com, which contains articles about and reviews of various green products.

Istvan never thought she’d be a mom who cared about organic baby food, sustainable materials and cloth diapers, until she found out how easy it was to integrate eco-friendly options into her life.

“I really wanted to spread the word to other moms that you don’t have to be ‘crunchy’ to be green,” Istvan says.

For many parents, little changes do lead to entire lifestyle overhauls.

 So are going green?
