Random Craziness
I have had so many random things that I have wanted to post about lately, but by the time my day is done, I just don't have the energy. Even when I am lying in bed for 2 hours wide awake in the middle of the night thinking and fuming about all of these things and telling myself to get up and do something about it, I just can't summon the energy. I feel like I have reached that point in my pregnancy where I feel like my life and home are chaos and I don't know what to do or where to start to fix it. I feel like the baby's room is never going to be finished, nor is Grayson's. I am never going to have time to finish cleaning out my house and taking all of our random "stuff" to Goodwill. And if I actually do have time to do these things, I will be sacrificing precious time with my husband and son when our time as a three-some is so limited. I have never been one to want Nate and Gray to go away without me. I'm just a paranoid mom that way (and so afraid that I am going to miss something happening for the first time). But all I want right now is a weekend alone to get stuff done. I want to finish my kids rooms and know that we have everything for this baby whenever she decides to make her appearance. I want to know that all of our clutter and extra stuff is gone and hindering our living space no more. More than anything, I just want to feel a little less crazy right now.

Ha! You sound like I did about 2 months before my due date with Cameron! It will all come together. You probably don't even need an entire weekend...just a few hours. Bring Grayson over to our house some weekend for an afternoon and you and Nate can tackle your projects. I also had Lily 'help' me when I wanted to get stuff like this done. It might have taken a little longer but we were doing it together that way!
I hear you on this one. Thought lately I have gotten to the point where I am letting go more & more partly because eventually I feel I am going to have to at least for a while what with nursing & the many duties of having a the new baby.
Matthew wanted to do swim classes but I was secretly glad he wanted to do them because Kevin & I talked about signing Matthew up for a class so that after Pancake arrives he and Matthew would have an activity to attend to every weekend so I could hang out quietly with Pancake for at least an hour every weekend.
It is funny that you should write this because I have been feeling this way about our house for some time. It is like we do one thing and 12 new "unfinished" projects come up. I am still trying to get Pancake's room done and I was complaining to Kevin that there is not a single room in our house that does not something done to it. Not to mention the pile of papers to be "filed" and the list that seems to get longer rather then shorter of things I need for the baby... GAH! This nesting stuff is hard work, eh!?
Maybe we should set up a Daddy/kid date among the dads soon. I'm open to having some by myself time alone in my house too...even without being pg and nesting!
