In an attempt to NOT sit still and ponder on how insane my life has turned out to be @ 29 years old, I have started a project in every room of our house!
1st of all, let me say...Isaacs room has been SO FAR the most challenging. His room is not HUGE by any means-not like his room in Richmond was. For a 10 year old, he's a crap hoarder. I spent several hours tonight going through every nook & cranny in his room trying to reorganize and clean.
Our house projects have really suffered in the last 10 months or so considering all that has happened-including the dusting of the kids rooms and weekly vacuuming. I don't usually go in their rooms because it is upsets me to see their version of "clean up your room". So, now that I've got about 6 weeks stuck in the house, I am making organization a HUGE project. Tomorrow, I shall begin Caleb's room.
Cris and I took some time out tonight and went to get some stuff to complete a lot of the unfinished projects we've got going on.
Isaac is spending the night with a friend & Caleb with his Nana, so it gave us some time to go around Roanoke picking things up (including a dishwasher we needed so badly).
I can say, that starting with the intense wonderful basketball game this morning, the hauling of the kids, the Lowe's trip, dinner, a trip to walmart , playig outside in the yard w/ Shelby and working on Isaacs room, I realize how tired i am NOW that I am sitting down for the night. Yes, I do realize I'm only 48 hours since the delivery, but I am not a "sit and wait" kind of person. I have the vision in my head of what I want done in this house and I am ready to make it happen-I do not want to WAIT for another week or so when I am "allowed" to get up and move around. I need/want to do it now. Call me stubborn, I don't care! =)
A lot of people don't understand why I wouldn't be Allowed to do things-but that would mean they fail to realize that I had an actual live delivery-just like someone that carried to 40 weeks had. My only difference is, I don't have my baby with me @ home to prevent me from doing things. I had the exact same experience as anyone else in labor, with a different finished product. With that, my body also continues with "after labor" stuff-like milk production. Yet another evil reminder of what I do not have. Thank GOD for Cabbage and ace bandages!
