I've Made It On Less

It's a little after 6am. Why am I awake? I've actually
been awake since about 4:30am and since I went to bed a
good time (around 10pm), I got about 6 and a half hours
sleep. Not too bad. Not enough, but I've made it on less.
The thing is, I have to be up in an hour and a half. If I
go back to sleep now, which I don't think I can anyway, I
won't want to get up at 7:30am to take Annie to school
(thank God, this is the last week of early morning class
for her). So, I've decided to do some measuring. I think
today I'm going to do the final touches on the house. That
being curtains, valances and little touches. I'm getting
the last few pictures hung and the last couple of boxes
out of my house. The funny thing is, we emptied one of the
boxes completely yesterday, a big one sitting next to the
tv and now there's a huge empty spot there I can't stop
looking at. I'll get used to it, since there's nothing
logical to put there (expect another box, which is
stupid). I need some sort of organizational storage for my
desk, I've got papers all over it and then I'll be DONE.
Until we start integrating baby paraphernalia, which I'm
not ready to do yet.

Now that I'm doing this parent thing for the third time
around, I've streamlined what I actually NEED down to a
few pieces of furniture and some key articles of clothing.
The rest never got used or rarely got used and isn't worth
the space it occupies. So, a good quality swing and a
bassinet (which I've got picked out already) are all the
furnishings the new baby is getting. We've got the nursery
suite left over from Kiki, who is still using the crib in
it's toddler bed form, but will be getting a big-girl bed
here in the next couple months. Now that she's figured out
the bed is for sleeping and isn't curling up in a corner
anymore :)

Since I'm up early, I thought about going to the gym. But,
I'm not so sure that's a good idea. Just walking on some
days is a challenge. Snookums won't be home today to help
me if I hurt myself (duty). So, I probably should avoid
that. I REALLY want to go to the gym! I want to be active
and fit again (as in, thin, svelte and NOT pregnant).
Right now I feel like a Fisher Price Weeble. I wobble, but
I haven't fallen down yet :) You probably wouldn't get
that if you don't have a kid over 2. Time is ticking. I
don't have too much longer to go. 87 days until my due
date! That really sounds like forever, but I know it's
not.

So, I guess I'll go measure windows. Should I do curtains
or a valance in Annie's room? I don't know. I suppose I'll
be limited to what I find. I might just go with a valance,
she can't do anything to that. We'll see. Ciao.
