YOu are way ahead of me then! I just want to sleep-and come here to read what everyone else is doing. I am managing to do laundry again today and I mopped the kitchen yesterday. schoolwork is sorta getting done and thats about it. I am seriously considering just calling off school for the rest of the year until August. I am sooo lazy feeling.
I really DO wanna nest!
I have the nesting bug so badly. If you don't count the little messes the kids make at any moment that require cleaning up, my house is the cleanest/neatest it's been in a while... I'm actually keeping up on things that I normally let slide, like mopping (I'm famous for the wet rag under a foot quickie cleanup). My problem is, I keep doing too much and then when I go to bed I can hardly walk.
Seriously, I'm feeling great except for when I do too much... and I thought I had figured out how much was too much but then my body went and changed it's mind! Yesterday I just helped the kids pick up toys, swept and mopped the wood/tile floors, vacuumed the one room with carpet... and I could hardly walk at bedtime. I didn't even cook dinner, dh did! He woke up at my 4am potty break to see me hanging onto the wall to get to the bathroom.
Sheesh.

: I have the motivation at least, I guess that counts for something? The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak! LOL

Well, I've gone the whole other way today- haven't done crap basically.

Dishes are piled up but the thought of standing in front of the sink just makes my hips ache so badly. Darnit, I'm supposed to cook dinner tonight while my dad and dh work on the new bathroom (I want a real shower again!). We might have to burn some plastic ordering pizza or something.

Kristi- shame on your mom! Especially when you're on bedrest.

I was totally going to come and start a thread about my out of control nesting. In the past week or so i've cleaned out our pantry (just a few roll out drawers in a cabinet, but still- it involved taking everything out and vacuuming and then putting back in), cleaned out our entryway closet, mopped the kitchen and bathroom floors (*not* a frequent occurance!) and in general have been noticing all the dirt and grime and clutter that i normally gloss over...
and then there are the projects...
i'm desperate to paint a wall in our livingroom and kitchen, get a new rug for dd's room, get drawer organizers for my socks/underwear/bras, sew new cushion covers for my glider, the list goes on and on... unfortunately, we also have property taxes due that are pre-empting any house project funds

and then there's gardening...though the 3 inches of wet snow we got yesterday put a damper on that.

LOL! Me too. I went on an insane cleaning spree on Tuesday where I got the biggest deep cleany type stuff on my list done and the backs of my legs are still sore as anything. I do feel better though!

Sounds like I'm not the only one! Well, yesterday I was too darned pooped to do much of anything... I did finally wash the dishes (I totally hate having dishes in the sink cause if there are dishes in the sink, dh doesn't rinse and just stacks them.

) but we ended up having my parents over and ordering pizza.

After dinner I parked my butt on the couch and knit another womb, this one is for my midwife, I'm going to give it to her when I give her the birth fee.
Today I'm going to a little shop in the middle of nowhere with my mom and then I'll probably make dinner but the only "chore" I'm feeling the need to do is dusting, my very least favorite!
I tend to be a neat freak anyway, but combined with this insane nesting urge and my slob family- it's bad!

the womb!!
Do you have a pattern posted on your blog, or can i get ahold of it?
Today i ran around trying to round up the rest of the items for our birth kit- i'm finally getting to the logistical necessities. Once dh finishes our new front steps and dials out dd's closet, then i get to do the fun stuff- baby clothes!! but i refuse to bring them up from the basement until i have a place to put them (currently dd's dresser which is the changing table from when she was a baby). course, i know that they'll be strewn all over the house and put on dollies and bears bute...

Kelly- it's this pattern: http://knitty.com/ISSUEwinter04/PATTwomb.html I actually had to knit the womb part flat (see the author's blog for knit flat instructions) but I did the fallopian tubes in i-cord as in the original pattern. I just cannot knit on DPNs to save my life, I need to find someone to give me an IRL tutorial.

: I couldn't find the recommended yarn anywhere, even online so I used the alternate suggested yarn...
