Up-swing

Beloved stayed home sick today, but the silly wonderful man let me sleep in this morning. His argument is reasonably fair...I DO sleep much better once the sun is up, but I still felt a little bashful about it. I listened to Boy and him reading books for a long while before finally dragging myself out of bed. I love listening to them together.

Since we had done a fair pickup last night, I knocked out the first floor cleaning...swept, washed, and vacuumed the floors. Beloved got the trash out. Almost half the household chores are DONE and it's only Tuesday. That puts a content smile on my face.

We interviewed a cleaning lady for after Baby arrives. It's just a once-a-month deal for about six months, but she'll be able to do a deep clean so that I can do maintenance cleaning without stressing too much. I don't know about her cleaning, but she seems to be a kindred spirit...and has a gamer husband and a 4-year old boy. *grin* We might end up with a friendship as well as a clean house.

I am (finally) dropping Beloved's car off to get the body work done. Our deductible is $500, and I've actually got the funds at the moment. Some friends are lending us one of their cars so I won't have to worry about doctor appointments and being tied to the house with Boy on the nice days.

I think I have an idea for the birth announcements, so I might start playing around with that. I also have an idea for the kids' room decor, but I suspect it's too ambitious for me to pull off right now. The roommates are moving this weekend, so at the very least I'll have the walls repaired and fresh paint, if not the elaborate decor, when Baby arrives.

All told, things are working out right now. *wry smile* Damn hormones. I told you it's just a swing right now!
