Update & the checklist

I guess my track record of being a bad blogger still stands.  I've been leaving you off with such cliff hangers and then nothing.   Over a month ago, Sean and I found out that we are having a baby girl!  I was shocked.  I made the ultrasound tech check two or three times because I was so sure that it was a boy.   I would have been ecstatic with either a boy or a girl, but I always wanted a girl.   I hope that she likes to dance because my mom and I had so many good experiences dancing.   Since finding out, I have had to really control myself when it comes to shopping, because there is just way too many cute pink things!   We have picked out bedding and a color scheme for the nursery.  The walls will be gray & white with black and pink accents.   Sean was vehemently opposed to pink walls, but I think this one home choice that he is right about.  I think the gray will look fantastic.

Even though I have been off for the summer, I seem to have not accomplished any of the things that I have set out to do.  Check out my to do list and all I have accomplished (HA!):

• Organize cabinets in the kitchen
• Organize pantry
• Clean out nursery closet
• Organize master closet
• Clean out chest freezer
• Order shower decor
• Create ultrasound poster & diaper cake for shower
• Wash and put away Olivia's clothes (thanks Liz for all the stuff!)
• Set up nursery
• Write out unit outlines for maternity leave sub

3 out of 10 completed or 70% left (look at those math skills!).   Okay I know it is only 3rd week of vacation and I took a graduate class the first, but I figured if I did a little every day it would be done early.   I can't touch any of the nursery stuff until after next weekend when the nursery is done.  However all I want to do is sit in the sun and read or go in the pool or sit in the air conditioning and watch junk TV.  

It also doesn't help that I seem to spend more time packing, unpacking and doing vacation laundry than anything else.   Every weekend I'm going somewhere.   Last weekend we did a big family trip to ME, this Sunday-Tuesday I'm heading down to the Cape to stay with the Grimleys, next weekend my mom and I are going to NYC, and then the following weekend Sean and I are going to Boston for a work trip.   The suitcase is permanently on the floor in our bedroom and stressing out our cats.

I promise (at least I hope to) to update sooner rather than later.
