Okay I have learned a few things this weekend. A child restraint system ( okay okay a kid's leach) works even if you are not holding it. And something is better than nothing. So here is my Monday musings.......warning very random...
Stupid neighbors. Brandon and I are not the greatest homeowners. I wish it were different. I am trying to learn to keep house better so once I somewhat accomplish better habits we might move on to the outside. Do I need to remind you that my husband works A LOT and we have two toddlers and I AM 8 months pregnant?!? We have a really bad habit of leaving our trash can out on the curb past trash days.......first step is admitting right?!? I don't why we just do. So this week we noticed that our trash can was moved ( there was not strong enough winds to blow) to the center of the driveway. We knew it was moved by man and not nature so we were irritated that someone did that, like really? So we continued to drive around it for a few days. Then on Saturday we placed something out on the curb next to the moved by us trash can in preparation for trash day on Wednesday morning. Yes a little early but I saw no reason for us to move it to the side of the house for us to move it again on Tuesday night. But when my wonderful hubby went to go take the kiddos to the park there was a note taped with 8!!! pieces of packing tape citing the Lawrence city code. It was highlighted in two sections about trash placement. Really people?!?! Could you not just move the trash can up to the side of the house, would that not show more love and use less energy , paper, and tape?!?! Oh and time. But they won, we moved our trash can. Because it is apparently a huge eye sore!!!! Seriously , come on.
More on the house front. We had a 15+ foot section of our guttering fall on our air conditioner. Awesome!!! It is totally something we could get the materials and fix ourselves but once again an 8 month pregnant women and a very over-worked man with little attention to detail need to do. So that is on the "call list" today.
Oh and our 3 year old got diarrhea in his sleep last night making the room a toxic spell area that needed immediate attention . Our hazard suits were still at the cleaners from last stomach bug two weekends ago. So we went in and tackled the disaster. Although both of us had weak stomachs because we too had faced round #2 of the stomach bug this weekend. Oh well. It is always kinda rewarding when we work together as a team. I have got he greatest husband and my kids have the greatest Daddy.
Foster has begun to talk....a little. He LOVES to say " LOOK LOOK LOOK" and gets really
excited when we acknowledge that he says it. So much so that he has started to say look and hold his hands up for everything he doesn't have a word for . Which is a lot . He is also saying juice and "Hutson" which is referring to his brother Hudson. Oh what else.......oh and he is working on milk.
Preparing for baby.....Nesting.....Manic cleaning.......Severe bossiness........call it what you may. I have made a list of all the things I want to have done before Miss Zoe comes. And for some reason I believe that our baby will not feel at home unless we got our basement storage room cleaned up?!?! Ya I know this is crazy pregnant lady stuff. But really my reason is that I am going to really start stocking up on groceries and household items for the time I will be out of commission. And with all this surplus I think it important to have a storage room that is organized so that ,one, I have a place to put all of this neatly and two so when I help over I can direct them to those things without too much confusion , hopefully. What crazy things did you do in the name of "nesting" please reassure me that I am not crazy........
