Ambition Arrives With the Daffodils

Well, Sunday seems to be my blogging day lately! Things have just been so busy the past couple of months...and yet not a lot of progress made on things that need to get done. This weekend we really had our first dose of spring (even felt a little like summer yesterday), and I think that kicked us into gear. Ambition arrived with the daffodils...

Aside from the usual spring clean-up of the yard (which is still in progress), it has hit me that there are a lot of things that need to happen before this baby of ours is born. I have a long list of items to accomplish around the house, A#1 being getting the nursery in order. I was just able to (finally) order the crib and dresser/changer that I wanted, and it will be here in the next week or two, so now I am faced with the reality of getting those boxes of "stuff" out of there...and getting the door and closet doors painted. I'm making some progress this weekend on those things as well as getting started on a couple of sewing projects. Not to mention we have guests coming next weekend, so there is cleaning that has slowly been getting done...

Husband and Brandon were not exempt from this spring fever. On Friday, Husband decided it was finally time to stain and seal the deck. Yesterday the sanding, staining, and sealing began. A good portion of it is done, and judging by the way it looks in the rain today, it's holding up nicely and looks pretty good. They both worked hard yesterday and are pretty pooped today. Once everything is dried out this week, they'll be finishing up.

Progress, however slow! The next couple of weeks are going to be very, very busy for me at work, and then it will be May. It's crazy how fast the time has flown. I think I've stayed ahead of the curve so far on this pregnancy, but I can feel it catching up to me now. A little slower to get up, and a lot more tired after doing just a little bit of physical work. Not to mention my ankles look like tree trunks and my feet rival those of Andre the Giant by the end of the day.

I think the hammock needs to come out soon, too. :)
