I've always been the type to get in and get things done if they need doing. There are many things that, at the moment need to be put away and organized, and I can't do it. For instance, there is a huge bag that holds the Christmas tree sitting in my living room, and by the garage door are 4 large containers with more Christmas in them just sitting there. Then there is the mess that is the right side of the garage. Salvation army is supposed to come pick up some things that I want gone this Friday, only problem is, it's all stacked up in a way that I can't get to it to see what is in the boxes. Not being able to lift or push, or even get to where I might be able to look inside of something is completely frustrating for me. It's like I'm being told no, and I don't like that very well! haha. I am stubborn enough that I would probably have tried a little harder to do some of it, if I hadn't hurt my back this week doing something that would normally not be a problem...so here I sit thinking there is so much to do and no way it's going to get done if it takes me doing it. If my hubby was home it wouldn't be an issue...but the last thing I want is for him to have one more thing to do when he is here.
On another note, I am so, so thankful to at least be able to do the laundry now. I was able to get caught up yesterday, the first day I had the new washer in place. Jumping for joy for clean clothes!
I suppose these little annoyances are not really big deals, especially when it comes to getting this baby here safe and sound. He is much more important than some messes that can wait. I will be patient and enjoy the little life that is growing inside my belly. His movements make me smile, so I pretty much have perma grin on my face 24/7, since he moves all the time. He is the constant, beautiful reminder of why these boxes sit staring me in the face...I think I can handle that! :)

mommy blogger. As a mother that has suffered the loss of multiple children while becoming a mother of the bride to our oldest, raising 2 young adults, an 8 year old preemie and a 6 year old tornado, I have a lot to share. I can't guarantee you will agree with everything I say, but I think you may just enjoy it. This is our life, the good, bad and ugly.
