Here comes the stress....

Oh boy, I'm starting to feel overwhelmed for some reason today. How does this happen so fast? I'm reeling with the things I have to do to get prepared for this small army that is still 7 months away - well, more like 5-6 I guess...wait, how did we get this far already? I'm nearing the end of my first trimester already? WOW. In theory, that seems like plenty of time, doesn't it? But what if I go out on bedrest soon? How will I ever get work situated?

I need to get busy. Time to start making lists and taking action. I've been thinking about all of this for 4 weeks now - and god willing, it appears that these three little guys are really coming so it's for real....gotta move and get shit done!

Work - hmmm, need to prepare a work manual for "others" who will be taking over my duties. Need to get my home office prepared. Need to make sure I'm covered here and this work from home thing will work, even on bedrest. Need to discuss getting a laptop I guess. Probably should scan some of my workers comp files so I can access that info on the computer. Also should scan the boiler plate contracts I have piled up to make sure I can access those too. Boy, I have some work ahead of me.

Home - oh boy, now here 's a long list.
Get nursery closet done - should have done it last spring with the rest but my superstition got in the way yet again; Get painter in to give estimate - wallpaper down, trim painted and walls repainted; Find cribs & furniture; guess those are the big things. The rest will come later.

Doesn't seem like that much now that it's on paper actually ~ hmmm. Feel a little better now. Time just passes so darn fast that before I know it, I'll be behind the 8 ball...and lord knows I hate when that happens. I'm too organized for my own good sometimes.

Top of the list - need some clothes that fit - pants are getting tight! Only another week or two in my old pants I think. Sounds like a shopping spree is on the horizon...
