I've started my feverent nesting stage. I'm 5 months pregnant, I think 6 at the end of August (??) and I'm anxious about getting organized since the baby is due 12/6, smack dab in the middle of an already chaotic time of year (my master plan is to be so organized that it is peaceful and zen during November and December). With the other two kids I didn't even try to get any "zen"--it was crazy busy and I just didn't fight it. This time I'm hoping to slow down a little, and enjoy the time more. So....I've got my organization book, which has every month in it, and then ALL the stuff for each of those months that I need to get done (and would like to get done early). I've got EVERYTHING....every birthday, holiday, tickets that I need to be bought for activities...you name it. It is actually quite daunting but as soon as I started doing a few things I felt better. Anyway, I've been slowly but surely checking things off, and last night I ordered my kids' Halloween costumes!! HA..how crazy is that? I ordered them Halloween costumes in AUGUST (the beginning no less). Well, despite the fact that I made fun of myself, and my husband is teasing me mercilessly for my obsessive organization, it turns out after I place the entire order that both costumes are BACK ORDERED until the end of SEPTEMBER (apparently we picked the popular ones)!!! So...guess I'm not that crazy really, they will only be coming about a month early. I suppose the fact that I got three catalogs the other day in the mail with Halloween costumes would be the tip off that people are ordering stuff now....and last year when I waited until a week before Halloween to buy them it was a disaster--there were literally two costumes left...I think they had the choice of a big chicken or Thomas the Train.
Anyway, I thought since Cara gets to share her exciting wedding planning, I'd share a little of my not so exciting organization operation. O.K., I'm signing off and I promise to blog about something more interesting next time.... Signed, ME {lv}
