Ack! Eeek!

I feel what time I have left to get things done just clicking away with each second.  You know all the jokes about women's biological clocks?  Well, my biological clock never ticked as loud as the organizational clock.  I look around and feel like I can't possibly get everything done but also know that I just plain have to get it done.  Just the thought of it all makes my neck and back contract and tighten to new heights of back ouch.  And I feel constantly reminded that I can't get just enough done because once this baby gets here I will be struggling to heal from the surgery while taking care of my boys.  It has to all get done.  I have been trying to just knock out one thing a day that makes me go, "Yea!  I accomplished something real!"  But that feeling only lasts a few seconds before I think, "Oh, I have a million other things to get done and I don't have a million days to do them."  I think I am going to have to resort to my old reliable coping technique- making lists!  I am fully aware that my lists will be multiple pages but just thinking about crossing things off the lists makes me feel a little better, slightly more in control.  Hubby doesn't always appreciate my lists because they overwhelm him but his preference, me not making lists and just trying to remember everything and keeping it at the front of my brain so that I can just tell him one "what's next?" at a time, overwhelms me!  Wish us luck!  And I will try to keep everyone updated on what we actually accomplish!  Sad as it sounds I do believe todays big accomplishment will actually be the lists! 

The results are in!

The results of my 3 hour blood glucose test are in and they show just exactly what I wanted them to show!  No gestational diabetes this pregnancy!  Woohoo! 

Now that's a deal!

This probably won't be a very long post, but I just had to share our deal today somewhere!  Today was the Babies R Us baby shower so, despite my feeling like a truck ran over my gut and drug an anchor through my sinuses, the family all headed to the store for a bit.  When we got there we participated in a contest to see who could break down and put up a pack and play the fastest.  My hubby kicked my behind and won a little prize.  In my defense I had a five year old helper underfoot for mine.  Anyway, after that we walked around to see what the deals they had running for the event happened to be.  There were sale tags everywhere!  We got all our closet organization stuff for 25% off each and we got two little outfits at 40% off the clearance prices.  We were feeling pretty good.  And that was when we spotted a playard on sale for $30 off.  Hubby agreed to let me get it.  Woohoo!  $30 off of a $150 playard is pretty good.  It took a while for the store to find the right box (they had three different prints of the same playard and in the end it was Hubby who found the right one) so I went to sit down at the nearby party table.  After a minute they announced that they were going to have a diapering race.  Boogie asked me to participate so I did... and I whooped up on those girls!  He he!  I haven't lost it!  Anyway, I collected my prize and then we went to check out.  Now to get the 40% off of the clearance outfits I had to get a person from customer service to come scan a coupon.  While she was there she noticed that she had one that applied to our playard so she scanned that one too!  That means that in the end our playard was $50 off!  What?  I paid for a new playard what a bunch of people on craigslist are charging for their old ones!  Hubby and I are both super excited about it.  I, for one, have been stressed about the cost of some of the stuff we need to get since we have so little left from when Boogie was born.  After today we can say we have two more main things taken care of!  Oh and we already set up the playard.  We don't want the kitties world to all change in one day and freak them out and we want the time we have to teach them that the playard is not a place for them to nap!  Anyway, just excited and had to share!  :)
