What is a girl to do?

What is the average life of a pair of nylons for you guys? Mine used to last quite a while, but the last year or so I have only been able to wear them once or twice before they are looking thrashed.

The real problem is little shoes that snag and rip the material while little people climb all over my lap throughout Sacrament Meeting.

I bought three pairs of nylons at the beginning of the month and every single one has either a run or a hole and most of the time both. Are there any indestructable nylons out there that are actually affordable? If not I may have to start wearing tights indefinitly because bare legs aren't cute in the winter (for me at least).

It's that time of year again!

Randomly Random

* I got a new calling in the ward. Primary Pianist. This will be my 3rd time performing this calling during my married life and I'm excited to do it again (especially because I <3 the chorister).

* Jeremy and I did the Cable Bridge Run last Saturday. It was fun despite the facts: my time stunk, and Jeremy beat me. I immediately called Jessica in the car on the way home to inform her I need her as my pace setter in future races.

* I got a serious set of new pots and pans from Santa. The previous set were the $40 set from Wal*mart that we purchased with some leftover wedding money... it was time to upgrade.

* My tree is still up. A few other people have said their is already down. Does anyone keep theirs up till New Year's, or is that just a crazy tradition my family had???

Question

If you were dropping your child off for me to watch (this is all hypothetical, of course) and upon handing me the baby I politely say to you "I think he might be stinky."

Would you:

a) change the obviously neglected and seriously potent diaper

or

b) in one breath say, "Oh he must have done that on the way over here. I have to run and go get in the shower."

I'm just wondering...

Google Reader

For those of you who have asked, I don't think google reader will update you to new posts on my family blog since it is private... so you'll just have to check there periodically. Unless there is someone who knows something I don't- and if so, PLEASE share!
