Nesting....Computer Limits....and other matters

Nesting.....sigh......not like the big guy above.....we are talking Lucy's version here.  The past several weeks have seen me having meltdowns over unorganized pictures from.....15 years ago....yes really.  Taking dishes out of the cabinets and incessantly wiping the shelves, and killing every dust bunny I can find within the city limits.  I could go on....but I will spare you all the gory details.  I have no idea how all of that is supposed to be helpful when the baby is here.....I am pregnant....I never said I was rational!  I am sure I have been a load of fun to live with....pray for Ryan when you get a spare moment...okay??  

And let's not even talk about how long it has been since I have seen my own feet.  I am waaaaay past this whole pregnancy thing being cute....and have moved straight to the hippo retaining water faster than the Titanic look.  I gotta be honest....I am over it!  What I am still loving is the pink explosion that has taken over our house.  Although, I have to confess....one night I woke from a deep sleep.....and began to panic....because we had NO........pink blankets.  Yes, really.  It makes no sense to me either.  I am a walking hormonal mess in sensible shoes....because my "cute" shoes no longer fit :(

Which brings me to my next item....computer limits.  I never thought in my life I would be typing that.  I love my computer.....I mean really....looooove my computer.  I am not a big TV person.....I don't read real books....remind me some day to tell you all about being banned from the library....good times....

I find myself reading and commenting on blogs.....I love Facebook.....and I follow a cooking blog or two......all of those things....well, they take time.  And Ryan was becoming concerned that I was being sucked in.....and that perhaps I was letting things slide around here.  Between you and me....you know....because he doesn't read here.....he is right.  So, now he has broken up time for me throughout the day.  I am getting a lot more done.....spending quality time with the boys.....and Ryan and I are sitting together on the couch again and actually talking to EACH OTHER!!!  Imagine that??

The last little item on my agenda to talk about.....is our off roading experience of the past few days.  Off roading.....that is what Ryan and I have named our little moments when ttwd takes a hike.  It can happen for a number of reasons.....this last time I know was stress related.  One of our little men....has come up against an obstacle....and Ryan and I are trying the best that we can to face whatever comes our way.  Our little man will be fine...as will we....but I realized for the first time how much Ryan has a need to fix everything.  The issue that we are dealing with...is essentially.....out of our hands....and Ryan does not deal with that well.  His stress manifested itself in an angry outburst.....leaving the house mad.  And my stress came out as tough girl....who does not need/want anything or anyone.  Tough Girl and Mr. Fix-it do not like each other at all.  

In the old days....it would have taken those characters daaaaays to work this out....and get back on the road again.  Miraculously....Mr. Fix-it found the remedy for all that ailed us....on my closet floor.  Lose your submission....check the closet.  Feeling a little feisty.....you will lose that quickly....in the closet.  Feel the need to take on the world by yourself.....you will soon come to your senses....in the closet. 

So in short.....I have learned....I am a nesting hippo in sensible shoes.... who has an unhealthy computer obsession.....and has a husband who feels the need to fix things when we go off roading.....and most importantly.....has a closet that holds the answers to all the world's problems....who knew?
