Diaper Rule Violation

So, my kung fu is strong, but I lack discipline.

I got home around 6:30 last night. It took half an hour to put away all of the groceries, so I didn't have dinner until after 7pm. THEN I started the diaper wash load. I prioritized preserving food and avoiding starvation over washing diapers on time, and it cost me a few minutes this morning. I could have stayed up later to get the diapers finished, but I also prioritized sleep.

This morning, I was able to set aside space for oatmeal in the pantry. My wife insists that we need a full month's supply of oatmeal on hand. This means FIVE cartons, which I feel is excessive inventory. However, I capitulate. Often, when implementing leaner inventory measures, the replenishment system needs to be in place before people are willing to lower inventory. Once they see the system working, it makes more sense. So, the next thing is to mark the area I've set aside, then make a pilot of the responsive list I've mentioned earlier.

All this talk about oatmeal is making me hungry.
