You know your nesting when...........

You know your nesting when...............

1. You spend half of your morning walking around Super Target looking for storage containers in pretty colors, in different sizes and shapes to organize the massive amt of kids toys and games that have taken over the 2nd floor.

2. You spend the other half of your morning walking around Costco looking for easy to make meals for the family while waddling and holding your belly up because it feels like baby will fall out onto Costco's floor at any minute. While your waddling around, you find a economy box of yard and leaf bags which will come in handy when you are organizing and tossing the massive amt of toys and games that has taken over the 2nd floor.

3. You grab your kids from school, drive immediately to your mother's house to drop off her pretty colored totes that she found today, and while taking her things out of the truck, you see the economy box of bags and decide to grab everything that is taking up space in the truck and putting it in one of these huge leaf bags, and then in exchange for the pretty totes, you grab the wet/dry vac because you all of a sudden get a wild hair to take everything out of the truck and sweep it all down and know you will spend more time on it then your 75 cents will get you at the car wash.

4. You get home from the delivery trip and lug out the huge black bag of kids crap, find the drop cords in the house for the sweeper to find that your MOTHER forgot to include the attachments for the sweeper. While you are waiting for her to bring you the attachments because you need them RIGHT NOW so you can do the truck, you dig out the rake and decide to rake the yard, pick up the sticks and crappy leaves that has been smashed under snow for the past few months, corral the older kids to pick up the broken easter eggs they dug out which was making your front yard look like the Easter Bunny had been massacared in your front yard, and stow the baby in the stroller to supervise over everyone.

5. Finally she arrives w/ the much needed attachments, you drop the rake, and go back to the truck, sweeping every nook and cranny, put in new smelly things to make it smell so yummy, move all the seats, fold up the other seats, sweep here and there, and then, you get the BRILLANT idea to put in the new infant carrier to make sure there was going to be room for the new addition. So, after sweeping, putting everything back in its place, and lugging out the infant carrier, read over the booklet quick, and install the base and carrier it fits PERFECTLY right in the middle, next to Zach. We'll have to see how that goes to make sure Zach doesnt decide to use the new baby as target practice.

6. The truck is done, so now, you go back to the yard, raking, scooping, bagging, sweeping the sidewalk, putting all the tools in a pile so you can continue your hard work tomorrow because nowwwww its time to start dinner!

7. But as you are walking to the kitchen to start dinner, you decide to jump on the computer to write in your blog quick on how you think you are now nesting and getting ready for the new little addition to arrive, and thoughts running thru your head what you are going to make for dinner before the hubby gets home. Then cleaning up and going to work til midnight, coming home getting to bed and then what you are going to start on first thing tomorrow morning since you have the kids home all day long..............ohhhh I bet they will be wishing they were in school!!!

Annnnnnnd all the while having little contractions from all the hard work you have accomplished in the past 2 1/2 hrs!!!!! Oh the life of a pregnant woman!!
