Still here...

Please do not take any long absences from posting for a sign of me being at the hospital or something. I was hoping LABOR day weekend would be more true to its name, but alas, nothing going on here in the baby department. I will be sure and post when it is time. I have been trying to get ready, pack things, arrange things, etc. and have had to admit, it will probably NOT all get done. But, I think the babe will understand if the house isn't properly pressure washed before he/she arrives. I am sad to say, the office is not even started... Micah's been busting out the outbuilding work, and technically, my office can wait... I guess this means I DO have to clean up my scrap stuff and organize it a bit. My brother in law was going to get my IKEA shelves, but alas, they were not nearly close enough to the store to get them for me. I got a bit frustrated because IKEA will NOT let you order on line, or over the phone, etc. and have someone pick them up for you. After an exhausting time trying every which way I could to get the store to agree, I just gave up. The Ikea woman said, "Well, thank you for shopping at IKEA." I was resisting the urge to say, "Um, well, no I am not shopping at IKEA because you have made it impossible to do so!"

So, seriously if this baby does not come soon I am going to run out of cupboard space. I "stocked up" on snacks for Lincoln for school... cause I would hate to run out when the babe arrives... I have like 40 each of applesauce cups, puddings, cheese and crackers, etc. I even bought 8, yes, you read that correctly, 8 boxes of reduced fat wheat thins. WHY? Well, they were on sale, (half price!) and I use them for his non-sweet morning snack. As I got home though I started to question my doomsday shopping techniques, but alas, it was too late, and I now needed to find a home for all these items...

Nesting last week also included me cleaning out the mudroom/laundry room. It is a large room and all my hair stuff had been out there, so it needed a good scrub down. I moved the freezer, the washer and dryer, a cupboard, etc... I paid for this later with a nice back ache, but the nesting bug was satisfied, and the boys happily played out there with some toys as if they had never seen them before.

So, in accordance with this most boring of blog posts, I will share some more pics of the 31 day journal. I was getting tired of keeping up, i admit it. I am glad it is done. I will get the last few days scanned in, well... at some point. I am not promising anything... :) (that would be the ornery Jude that Micah has been talking about.)

And here are my pages for Melissa's CJ...
