My house is cleaner today than it has been in months. The dishes are done (except the ones the kids are eating lunch on right now). All the beds are made--the bathrooms are clean and disinfected--the kids rooms are picked up--the entire upstairs has been vacuumed. It feels wonderful!!! But the sad part is there's still tons of dirt and grime and clutter waiting for my attention. I think the Housekeeping Fairy missed our house while I was sick. It's taking FOREVER to dig us out of it.
On more happy news: We're having a BOY!!! We're very excited. Everything seems to be going quite well at this point. All the complications are gone (keep your fingers crossed that nothing else happens). I've got just over 3 months left, which seems both extremely short and ridiculously long.
Zippy starts Kindergarten in a month. My feelings on this change by the moment. Mostly, when he's next to me asking his incessant questions, I'm more than happy to send him to someone else for a couple hours. But when he's quiet or in the other room playing, I worry I'll miss him a little. Ah well, either way, he's going.
And last, but not least, I have discovered a new way to get Munchkin to do whatever I want her to do. If I ask her, the answer is invariably "NO!" But if I ask her teddy-bear to help her do it, then it's a game! YAY! Any bets as to how likely this is to last beyond the end of today?
Yeah Meg. I'm so glad things are going well for you!
