I am so nesting.
My husband is doomed. At least his sanity is.
This pregnancy has been a unique experience for us, full of unique challenges and learning experiences -- says the girl typing this blog posts with an IV in her arm.

But what do you do when you can't?
Well, you make yourself (and your long suffering husband) insane.
My house is *shudders* horrible. We intend to move before this baby really has a room of their own anyway, so I never planned to do a room here for him or her. Now? Now I am infused with the need to.
I need to clean. My wash is piling up. Despite Bunyan's best efforts you cannot remove my ability to do everything I was doing from the scheme of things and maintain this house. In a way it is a little affirming to realize how important I am in the functioning of this home and family.
Its also hell on earth when I can't do anything.

God bless Pintercrack. I have officially taken pinning-with-no-intention-of-execution to all new heights my friends. I have a board about knitting, its hilarious. I have a board about quilting. I can't quilt, and I have no real intention of learning to. I have a ton of pins for organizing my minivan ... the one I don't own. Yet. My dignity is marching up to that guillotine soon enough. I have a board devoted to balloon stuff, I have a life threatening latex allergy and could never want this stuff. I even have a board for Tom Hiddleston. Basically, I have a board for anything that is NOT food.
I can't do food. Not for like another five months. (I have food boards, lots of food allergy related ones, but I just don't look at them now.)

Of course I made a board about it too.
Online shopping was a bad thing to discover though. I wound up purchasing the planner and some accessories from Erin Condren. Then I searched Pintercrack for ideas ... because that is what I do these days. There where whole Etsy shops devoted to stickers, inserts, and washi glory to feed my fire. So I spent some money there too ... then I realized Etsy is like a goldmine ... eventually I purchased a whole new wallet for the envelope system we utilize (the irony here being we do it because it saves us money! Ha ha ha ha ha!!!) and a bunch of baby stuff before I curbed my need.
I sat back and happily smiled at my tablet thingy, feeling sure that this binge of organizing based purchases would keep me content for a while, I would be good to go!

Sigh.
I bought much of this stuff weeks ago. I am still waiting for the perfectly reasonable shipping times that the shops clearly stated for them. I am the moron, they are doing their jobs and many of them are doing more than one job.
So I threw myself into the HG Treatment Series for a few weeks.
Now I am done with that.
So I am pinning quilts and minivan organizers and wondering if I will get unsick of the mundane soon. I used to think I would kill for nothing to do ... it is nice for like two weeks friends, then when you can't do anything you start wanting to climb walls (but can't) and talking to yourself even more than you did.
Yeah, my sanity may be a thing of the long gone past by the time I have this kid, not to mention my husband's.
I've seen the 2015 planners in the stores and have fought everything there is in me to NOT buy one!! I can't help it, they appeal to me, but I can never stick with it. Oh, but I long for one...
ReplyDeleteIt finally came! I am seriously geeking out on it! My stickers haven't all shown up yet, but once they do ... oh my goodness I am going to be a happy girl!
