Happenings

Tonight it was the night to start to clean out the "spare bedroom" closet, which is now going to be Juniors room. The stuff that people keep and can store is really unbelievable when you decide it's time to clean it out or you just need the space for something else. One thing that I have noticed because Dan and I have done this a couple of times is that, Men are worse than women when it comes to hoarding things, or at least it's this way in my household. I did manage to get him to toss a lot tonight though and have a bag of things to take to goodwill. A friend from work gave me a large bag of clothes for baby boys and we went through those tonight too, it was kind of fun to do. I am definitely happy this time to get some hand me downs and not buy all of those beginner clothes that they just don't wear enough times to seem worth it. Dan has also decided that the room does need to be painted blue and has a friend that will come and spray the room for us, I need to give him a time frame to get this "project" done of his or he won't get it done and the room won't get done, I just need to sit down with a calendar and really start looking at my weekends. When you do start to look there are a lot of holidays between now and February and I don't want to be stuck doing anything the last couple weeks of January because I have a feeling I am going to be big and tired and probably a little lazy.
Tomorrow I have another Dr.'s appt. - oh joy, another weigh in that means as well, I just do not look forward to that part, but then again I always ask what the weight was and have been making the nurse flip back to my old chart and tell me what my weight was on that week when I was pregnant with Katelynn - they probably all think that I am a crazy person (Dan would agree)! I made my appt. late in the day so that Dan can pick up Katelynn from daycare and she can come to this appt. with us and listen to the baby's heartbeat, she is really excited about it, I think it will be a fun, family outing. Then tomorrow night I have an HOA board meeting and we are going to vote in a new president because the current president and secretary are stepping out of the board - bad news for us, but I am crazy enough to be throwing my hat in the ring, it must be a power thing, so we will see how the votes come out tomorrow.
On the To Do List:
Get Katelynn's X-mas dress for pictures - check !
Make appt. for X-mas pics and Katelynn's 3 year pics - check ! This coming Saturday.
Get Katelynn's hair trimmed for the first time - I don't know if this will happen before Sat. ?
Get Dan a new sweater for X-mas pictures -
Decide what doesn't make my face look 10 lbs. heavier for X-mas pics Sat. - ?
Get X-mas list together - at least I did start a little x-mas shopping already, I am hoping to get a majority of it done on the Day after Thanksgiving Sales (yes, again, I am crazy).
