Getting cold...

It's getting cold. The leaves are changing colors and it's supposed to snow next week. Other than the two weeks of rain, this fall has been pretty good. And yet- I'm not ready for winter. But I'm never really ready.

Speaking of never being ready, the baby is due to arrive in a couple of months. I'm going to try to be ready for the baby this time, but I have so much to do. My husband and I have been working hard at trying to turn a storage room into a bedroom. It doesn't seem it will be ready in time.

The baby has been doing jumping jacks and cartwheels and my entire stomache moves. I don't know if it is realy visible to everyone else, but it seems to be. It's kind of hard to tell because it seems that the baby only moves like that when no one is looking. I kind of yelp as a result and everyone looks at me strange.

The kids were sick yesterday. So I got nothing done at all. I did manage to keep up with the basic housework. Today was "catch-up" day, but I didn't catch up. Well, next Friday, my grandmother is going to visit. So now everything has to be done by then. Talk about motivation.

I've been using the spare room as temporary storage and sorting area as I re-organized the downstairs and empty out the "storage room". So, even though we have eliminated a lot of things, I still have to find a place to put all the items that are now in the spare room. They don't go back into the "storage room" which means I have to either find a place to put the item or throw it out - or maybe give it away to some suc- I mean friends.

Well tomorrow, we are supposed to go to my mother's house for lunch. I *might* be able to get some work done. However, I'm not working on Sunday. I need a day off. Yeah, like *I* can get a day off.
