So, I have had many days in the last few weeks where the urge to “nest” or clean the house/do odd jobs/get everything just right/etc has been in HIGH gear.  Today, is not one of those days.  I *know* that I need to make sure all the laundry is done and everything is put away.  I *know* that I should vacuum the house and mop and get bathrooms cleaned up.  I *know* that I should keep on top of the dishes (actually I have been doing that one really well) so they don’t fall behind.  I *know* that I should rest whenever I can to build energy for Monday (or sooner) for labor and delivery.  But…all I seem to be able to motivate myself to do is sit and do that resting part.  This is bad.  Why?  Because I know that no one else keeps house around here quite like I do–not that Jerry and the children won’t try to keep it clean, and not that laundry won’t get done (now it actually likely won’t get folded or sorted or put away… but it will get washed), but because I know that once I am home from the hospital I have a very small tolerance for mess and I will probably be up too soon doing too much after baby arrives…but alas…it’s either now or then…guess by the end of next week I’ll be able to tell you which it ended up being.

All I do know for now is that I have no nesting urge today.  :)
