It wasn’t planned nor intended, but man it felt great! Taking a week off from the computer – Yes! computer, not just blogging – was a Godsend. I have doe so much around the house and even more shopping to complete things in need of completing prior to The Baby’s arrival: mind you there is a boat load of more things to be completed, but I’m far better off then I was a week ago.
Nesting instincts have begun to rear their (ugly) head. It’s really a catch 22 because I am supposed to be off work early to be resting but instead I’ve been like a little worker bee and running my hinney off for 5 straight days. I’m exhausted. But I figure the more I get done more, the more I can rest after – before baby, of course.
I almost feel as though I should be doing stuff rather then sitting around relaxing all day with Carter still in daycare and Mike working. With today being the first day I haven’t filled with tasks taking me out of the house, I’ve watched about 20 minutes of television (since daytime TV bites The Big One) and this chair at my desktop is already killing my lady bits. (I HAVE to get a wireless router soon – since work let me keep my laptop while I’m off! *wOOt* Then I can blog and design from just about anywhere – like my backyard!) I don’t know what I’m going to do with myself aside from reading all the great books that have been suggested and blogging.
I just feel guilty and bored.
Already.
I’ve only been off work for four days.
Nothing really new here – baby’s not early and I’ve just been ‘playing’ the dutiful housewife for the past couple days. But! I will be blogging more regularly, promise!
Oh, and I HATE my cat. Utterly despise him.
But that’s a story for tomorrow.

Welcome back. Glad you are getting everything done, but do remember to rest!
I hate my cat at times, usually about the same time I discover he missed the litter box when he peed!

Glad you’re back. I was going to drop a line to check in, but I’m not sure of the netiquette for that!

I love my Sunday Technology Free Day… which is basically a no computer day! I feel so relaxed, it’s amazing.
And David and I participated in National No TV Week last week and it was great!
Pretty pathetic we have to designate days for this “leisure” LOL

justmylife: Thanks! 20 days left (hopefully) and I still haven’t been able to get everything out of storage until I get Carter moved to his new room – hopefully this weekend. I’m getting a little worried and Mike still thinks there’s TONS of time. *sigh*
Assertagirl: Ya, I totally need the wireless. I think I’m going to get it tomorrow. I can’t handle sitting here when I know it’s so nice outside. LOL
ali: Aw so sweet!! kisses right back at ya!
Shania: I say who cares about netiquette! If you’re thinking of someone and it’s not intrusive, I say go for it!! (So you know for the future of course
Anyone can email me, I don’t mind at all!)
Shawna: It’s really amazing how free and relaxing it is to be away from technology!! I should really start camping again, I miss that feeling so much!
Brenda: You know, it wasn’t that hard at all. I had a lot of stuff to occupy my time (still do) and it felt nice not to feel rushed because I spent a little too much time in front of the computer! LOL
J: So sweet, always looking out for me aren’t you J? LOL
