Even though I haven’t posted to my blog yet today, I have gotten so much other crap done that I would like to officially declare: I DESERVE A COOKIE.
I started my day off painting the last coat of paint on NikkiZ’s closet door. Then I went to the attic with the simple goal to get down the Easter baskets. But - while I was up there I decided I should drag down the boxes of NikkiZ’s old baby stuff to (A) See if there is anything AndyZ can use and (B) Narrow the amount down a little to clear out more storage. Not only did I go through all of that stuff, but I actually drug two of the containers back up to the attic! If you are not sure why that’s impressive then you have not tried to carry boxes up an attic ladder while 29 weeks pregnant.
THEN I went out and found a skinny hamper for NikkiZ/AndyZ’s room and organized the few things left in their room onto shelves and into baskets. Other than the big things left to do (re-attach closet door, assemble crib, find LilZ a dresser so NikkiZ can have his, eat donuts…) I have pretty much gotten their room ready in order. Then I vacuumed their room - AND THE REST OF THE HOUSE.
Dude. Am I nesting or what?
Of course now it’s 11am and I feel like I have absolutely no energy left in my body to sustain me for the rest of the day. How likely do you think it is that I’ll be able to get NikkiZ to take a four-hour nap and then drive the car to go pick up her brother from school? Not very likely? What if I promise her candy? Think then she’ll do it?
Good Gravy woman. That is a lot that you have gotten accomplished!! Hopefully you are resting your body now! As long as you are nesting….my house is a disaster area.
I’m tired just reading your done list.
She might do it if you offered her some Oreo cakes
That is beyond impressive! I loved the nesting days … probably the only time that under all the beds was actually clean. For some reason the bed “bunnies” bugged me!
Have a nice cookie & nap after all that!
I was impressed beyond words when I thought you did all of this before work. Then I remembered you were working part time - still VERY impressed though. I am just trying to get 2 loads of laundry done, the dishwasher unloaded and a trip to Sam’s in before my hubby gets home tonight. BUT! I did shower already today so kudos to me.
Totally nesting, but doesn’t it feel great!?
Now go have some donuts!
You did all this on a day when NikiZ was home? I am super impressed. She must have had some important artwork to tend to.
Wow!
Dude. I hope you treated yourself to SEVERAL cookies. You don’t even have to feel guilty; just think about all the calories you burned getting that stuff done.
This post made me tired!
You ARE doing some major nesting, girl - but doesn’t it feel great??!!
I remember those pregnancy energy bursts and how fabulous they were. I swear, I could mow the lawn at eight months, but it totally wiped me out the rest of the day.
Screw cookies. You need chocolate cake!
Great job! But PLEASE stay off of ladders. I know… pregnancy isn’t a handicap and healthy preggers can do anything the rest of us can but It’s so not worth risking a fall. Trust me, I learned the hard way.
step away from the ladder, and toward the box of donuts.
I am very impressed! And I want a cookie too, even though I don’t particularly deserve one!
Hey! cool it! Get Mr. Z to do the heavy work, pleeeeeze!
