My house is slowly but surely getting ready for baby numero dos/new baby/jj/hank/whatever the heck his name is going to be. I keep buying little things and I went a little crazy last week at the 70% off sale at Once Upon a Child and every other clearance baby clothes bin I happen to stumble across. I realized that baby number two usually means you have to buy more things especially when the baby is the opposite sex of number one. This seems ok for right now because I am nesting. I keep cleaning everything (sans today...I just haven't felt up to it) and I am getting very close to everything organized that I want to be organized. I came across the 21 Day Challenge at A Bowl Full of Lemons and she inspired me to organize and clean the messiest parts of my house...the bonus is since this house is new to me things weren't entirely disgusting and gross (yet...but I know they would get that way if I let them...I can be really disgusting. Just ask Jeff.).
On today's list of things to get done...laundry, clean the bathrooms, run errands and vacuum (the main level of course...because I need a heavy duty vacuum for upstairs and our old one shot craps on me while cleaning the old house-the main evidence of how disgusting I can really be.)
List of things that I have accomplished today:
put some laundry away and let the whites soak
took more laundry downstairs
thought about cleaning the bathrooms
thought about vacuuming
waiting for Maggie to wake up to run errands
So, as you can see...not much has been done today. But it's only 3pm I have plenty of time.
Maggie just woke up so errands await us...:)

CRAZINESS
So, I have now realized that I am not ready for this next baby. I bought a few things here and there but I don't think I have nearly enough and I only have a few weeks left until he is here. What to do...
Maggie is such a big girl now. She just turned one and we had a great party. Unfortunately, Jeff's uncle died the same day as the party and therefore the party was a little on the sad side. He was such an awesome guy. I wish Maggie would have been able to know him longer. :(
I have been trying to catch up on getting the house put together since the party and I am almost done with the office. It just needs some final cleaning and organizing (Jeff's favorite things for me to do...blah blah blah) and then it will be like a real office. Then the baby's room will be next on the list. Then hanging pictures and clocks and beatification can happen. The house won't look as sterile then. I have some thank you notes to get out. Thank you notes are on the list of things to improve on along with reading more.
As far as other things on my list of improvements to myself:
Crossword puzzles...I just don't understand them. It may not happen. I will have to come back to this.
Reading more would mean that I have free time which I haven't had much to speak of lately. But once the house is organized and things are ready for the baby I think I may have some more time on my hands. Or so I think now.
As for being on time. I have been getting better. Jeff has given me the ultimate test...if I am not ready by the time we have to leave in order to be somewhere on time...I will be left. So far I have not been left. I think this is a good thing. :)
Another thing to get back to are my craft projects or "Craftiness" as the file in the file cabinet reads now. It officially has a file...therefore it must be serious. Mustn't it?
Anyway...
I guess that is all from this front. Good to recap on the things that need improvement and to give myself a pat on the back for the couple of things I have done ok so far. So long for now. :)
