I’ve had enough of the “Boil Water Advisory” in effect for Bristol County, RI residents.  Like my neighbors, I’m dealing with the inconvenience of not being able to safely use the tap water (3days and counting).  A year ago it probably wouldn’t have impacted me too much… but with an infant at home who is putting EVERYTHING into his mouth, the threat of E.Coli bacteria in our water is stressing me out!! 

From mixing his cereal and bottles…to washing his hands… to sanitizing his toys… to cleaning his veggies, his high chair,  his clothing… we are going through bottled water like crazy!  Not to mention, I haven’t even attempted to give him a bath.  I’m terrified that my boiled water will be too hot, the bottled water too cold and a sponge bath too unenjoyable for all of us!!  But, if this advisory really does continue through the weekend, we’re going to have to figure something out. 

It’s not just the inconvience, it’s also the added worry that he’ll get sick from the tap water.  I guess it’s just another remind that the worries never end when your a parent.

On another note–Go Steelers!

Go Steelers!
