Refresh your cache, there’s a new design! Refreshing, summery, spring-like. Ironic that I unveil it the day of the hugest snowstorm this year.
We’re home-bound today since we’re expecting about 1 million feet of snow over the next 24 hours. I’m going stir crazy all ready: there is so much cleaning and preparing for baby to do that I have no clue where to start.
I think reality hit yesterday. I haven’t been thinking about how quickly this pregnancy has been going but rather how slow and agonizing it’s been for me. Yesterday I actually thought about it: there’s 74 days remaining. 74 days to:
- dismantle and paint the spare room
- organize and clean and PAINT the living room in preparation for infant toys - swings, playmats, etc. to be included in the mess of pre-schooler toys.
- move Carter to the spare room
- complete touch ups on what is now his room for the nursery
- buy bedding
- buy a new swing
- get all baby stuff out of storage - crib, clothing, toys, nursing stuff, etc.
- buy a new stroller
I can’t continue. It’s just too much. Sure, short list - but it seems about 600 million times longer when working full time and only having weekends available to get things (like shopping and painting) done.
I may have to suck it up and hire out the painting part.
Any takers?
*crickets*
Yet, Mike once again is nonchalant about the whole thing: “I don’t see what the big panic is…. There’s really nothing that we have to get or do…. You’re blowing it all out of proportion…”
Oh, the heartburn.
With all this panic and freaking-the-fuck-out, I’ve actually found a renewed fresh outlook on this pregnancy and I’m getting… EXCITED! My cold has passed (except for a mild cough) and I have regained some of the energy I’ve been sorely lacking over the past oh, 7 months.
Renewed, Refreshed and Ready (kinda)
Yet. I sit here. Blogging.
Priorities, Shmiporities I say.
Oh it’s SO pretty Sam! I’m sorry you’re feeling overwhelmed and stuff though. One thing at a time hun! xoxoxo

Again, I am behind, Sorry, I suck! Love the design. Looks wonderful. Oh and I would have came and painted for you but that million feet of snow, well, I just can’t drive in the snow. I am from Alabama and we don’t get snow, so I never learned to drive in it. Sorry. Kick hubby’s ass and make him do it.
