On my brain that is...

My brain just won't turn off tonight. So this will be a long boring post of everything going on in my head that I can't make stop so I can sleep.

There are so many things I'd like to get done before this wee one arrives. My list is large. I started tackling this list, and started too many projects at once. Now my house is a disaster zone. I made a ginormous list of "what to get done before new baby". I was so proud as I started checking off one little thing at a time, but then I got ambitious. Our front room/office is a dump. It became a serious dumping ground that I can hardly move around in to organize the way I want it. My bedroom is a dump as well. As I was cleaning out every other room in the house, it became a catch all for the items that I'd like to find a permanent home for.

It's not just organizing and cleaning that I'm dying to get done. I have pretty projects too. I've been neglecting my regular house cleaning to get the fun stuff done, and now I'm regretting that decision! I'm pretty sure dishes, diapers, and laundry are the only things that I've kept up on in the last few weeks. Yuck. I should get on that cleaning my house business.

I just found out today that I'm off the wait list for a homeschool co-op I wanted to join. I thought we'd be on the waiting list for a year, but nope! We were only on the waiting list for 2 weeks! I believe that is a definite God thing.

I decided we needed to start homeschool tomorrow even though I have NO IDEA where Elias's books are. I know I've seen them, but I have looked in every "safe place" I can think of. No books. I ordered some new ones last week because I just got tired of looking! This prego brain needs to pick up a few brain cells because I'm losing too many things lately! Also, I was getting Isaiah's papers ready for school, and I realized one of his books has a whole lot of blank pages. How did I not notice this while looking through them almost a week ago?! Now I have to get in touch with the company, and hope they can get me a new book fast. It of course is missing the lessons that I wanted him to do Thursday.

Venting? Yes. Exhausted? Definitely. Feel better now? A bit. Maybe now I can fall asleep without thinking of all this stuff.
