Nesting is in full force. I have lists, sub-lists, and some of the items on my lists say things like, “Make list for XYZ.” Yesterday I started out with the goal of washing all baby clothing, and ended up spending over two hours sorting through my daughter’s baby clothes and toys, throwing as many items [...]

*Head to library after [...]

We were chatting about the baby yesterday and realized that we only have about 16 weeks left to prepare- and our house is still a disorganized wreck.
Baby necessities and nice-to-haves :
1) Clothing.
Have enough for first couple weeks, if I dig through J’s stuff to find some gender-neutral onesies and sleepers. Baby is due during yard [...]

The beginning of January coincides with the time when my work schedule will be drastically reduced, from full-time down to one or two afternoons per week. So these are not exactly New Years’ Resolutions; this is more my List of Things To Do When I Have the Time.

-Start the process of getting my house clean again. Eh. Cleaned kitchen somewhat today. Didn’t mess with the [...]
My list for this week

-Can mess of pears currently taking up kitchen island (I would have a lot more of them to process if I hadn’t been a night shift zombie when they were at their best. Due to my inability to move on [...]

6 dresses (1 Ralph Lauren)
10 pairs of pants
7 shorts
1 bathing suit
7 sweaters
1 set of PJs

Two steps forward, one step back

My things to do today:
Vote.
Visit my mama.
Buy flowers.
Buy groceries.
Plant wildflower seeds in empty part of garden, for lack of any better idea of what to put there.
Drop bags of clothes and toys at Goodwill (if we find ourselves in Suburbia). (Confession: Spent $20 on clothes while there, rationalizing that these were quality clothes to [...]
