If you are like me finding good activities for your kids is a challenge. Some are just too darn expensive. It's hard enought to pay for one child, much less two or three. This is more complicated by the fact that I work so activity options are pretty much limited to nights...

Yesterday morning I saw a urine-soaked diaper in the trash can in his room. Now, that trash can's sole purpose is for Kleenex tissues and the occasional piece of drawing paper. I never put diapers in there. I...
