They say that when you are pregnant, your body is working as if you are climbing a mountain, even though obviously, you are not. Now that I am done feeling "uck," though still fighting my pregnancy-lactose-intolerance, I am supposed to be in the energetic second trimester. As of yesterday I am 18 weeks along and the desire to "nest" or clean up my house is there, but the actual energy is not! I told Marc's grandma Sally that I wondered where the energy I was looking forward to was. She said, "Why did you think you would have that when you are taking care of 5 other kids every day?" Point taken. I guess with the first few kids it was there. Now I wonder if I'll even get off the couch past 30 weeks now that I am pregnant with #6! Guess I'd better get all my projects and beach trips done by then! At least I can say for this week that I:
1. Moved 1/3 of the kid's books to the kid's book area so now they are all in one place!
2. Color coded the bindings of my Sonlight Curriculum homeschool books by year like I was supposed to do starting 3 years ago! Yeah-now we can tell which books are for school or not!
3. Sorted the house for yard sale items.
4. Cleaned the garage so people don't ask to buy the stuff I am NOT selling.
5. Got Sarah to clean out her desk and hutch to sell at the yard sale!
6. Climbed up in both attic spaces to find yard sale items
7. Remembered my 5 year old's play date 20 minutes south, even though that non-pregnant mom forgot!
8. Made dinner every night but Wednesday. ( I wasn't this good when prego with #1!)
9. Took Leah to get her 18 mo. pictures today.
10. Did the "usual," laundry, homeschool, observe chores, prep kids for AWANA and Latin, diapers, potty cheerleading, discipline, talk to husband, go online, watch favorite TV shows.
So why couldn't I fall asleep for a nap today??????
