Alright Ya'll
I'm not normally gripey, but here it goes! I feel like an ungrateful Israelite who can't even see her blessings right before her eyes! All of this comes from me transitioning into second trimester- I get nesty. And when I get nesty, I want to decorate and reorganize and clean, and, and, and...the cleaning part is free-so I can do that. The decorating part...mmm...not so much. I have all white walls and all brown furniture. My uncle happens to be our landlord and has given me permission to paint "whatever you want", he's a jewel. Problem: it's 106 outside! I can't open up the windows without suffering heat stroke (okay, so I exaggerate...did I mention I'm fussy?!) and I can't paint with them closed. No painting today. Dilema #2: I'd love to cover my existing furniture cuz it's comfy, just...hmmm...brown. Problem: No suitable fabric. ALSO we need to build a loft bed in our girls' room so their brother, 18months, can move in with them well before baby's born. When do we build a loft bed? How do we pay for the materials? See? Fussy. Talk me down, ladies! I HAVE a home. It HAS furniture. My children HAVE a bedroom! But am I content? Noooooo. Fussy, pregnant Israelite. In the wilderness. With blessings. BLIND, BLIND, BLIND.
Someone tell me it's hormones and to throw a bloomin' quilt over the couch, count my blessings, and call 'er good!
Thanks. I think I will.
Luv ya'll, you're great.

We need to distract the pregnant brain thats taking over LOL. I have company coming over this week...you could put your nesting to good use in my family/computer/class room. I also have about 4 baskets of laundry that needs folding. Throw something really ugly on your couch, so that when you pull it off, you are thankful your couch is brown....Am I helping at all here?
Good call.
I am in the same boat right now! Due in Sept. totally nesting, SUPER HOT, nasty budget...all the joys! Regarding your loft bunk-bed, we also need to do the same thing. One thing my hubby pointed out was that I can have fun 'planning ' it right now. The baby will be in the bassinett for at least 3 months, and I will want him/her in our room longer. He said we have time to build it, and even better it would be a great handicraft he and the other children can do together, while I rest with our newborn! He knows that if our other kids are doing something wonderful, then I am able to rest better; guilt free!! This helped put my mind at rest over that task. Planning it also helps to satisfy my nesting need!
Now if only they enjoyed hauling it back up the stairs when it's clean....
