Nesting

Nesting is hitting me hard core. I've done 8 loads of laundry in the past two days. That's partly due to the fact that laundry hasn't been a priority for me the past couple months and I've let some things sit for a long time. But I'm also feeling driven to get things done! I went through our closets and took two large bags of stuff to Goodwill. And my to-do list keeps getting longer. We had originally decided to move Lily to the downstairs bedroom so we painted it pink to match her new bedding set. But I had really been dragging my feet and I just wasn't looking forward to moving her to the basement. And recently it hit me, why don't Andy and I move to the basement??? Why didn't I think of this before?!?! Lily can stay upstairs and the baby can be next door to her. I think it's a brilliant plan. However, now we have to re-paint the downstairs bedroom and my husband is not thrilled about it! We bought paint on Sunday but who knows when we'll actually get to it? We also have to paint Lily's room upstairs to match her new bedding and we'll most likely be painting the baby's room too! Should be interesting... There's lots to do. I'll keep you posted. No pun intended.

One thing that should delay any progress is that my husband is home sick today. It's been coming on for a couple days and last night he had a fever. He did go to work this morning to get things going but was home by about 8:30 and has been sleeping most of the time since. Since we've been married I can probably count on one hand the number of times he has missed work for being sick. He is just never sick. I am praying hard that Lily and I stay healthy. I feel very much NOT up to being sick myself after the past couple months, or taking care of a sick child. Nobody sleeps well when she's sick. So we're staying put and staying warm. It is COLD today. Dangerous wind chills. And some of the schools in Minnesota had a late start this morning because of the cold. It's a good day for soup...
