The littlest family member, well excluding the cat, is on a new mission to destroy anything I attempt to clean. First it was all the clean laundry as I was folding, she was carefully unfolding. Then there was the big sister's unattended bowl of oatmeal that I guess she felt would be better off a big pile of sticky mush on the carpet. Then there was the daily emptying of the salt and pepper shakers on the dining room table. I just can't breathe sometimes with all of the madness. I'm not an orderly person to begin with and I usually don't care, I'm used to her antics, but tomorrow I'm having friends over for dinner, so I'm of course trying to make the house a little more presentable than usual.
She has finally gone down today for her first nap, which is totally unusual because she's normally down for a morning nap by 11am and then a late afternoon nap takes place around 5ish. She goes down a little before 9 and is up at 7am. I really wish we all lived on that same sleep schedule. Unfortunately, the rest of us: Sami, myself and Bridget are a bunch of neurotic sleep fighters at night and not morning people at all. Funny how that works.
I'm currently working on (in addition to cleaning the house) crocheting a baby blanket for a nephew who's arrival is looking like any day now. Possibly this weekend! I'm also working on a skirt for Bridget that's been sitting on a shelf for months because I got really frustrated with the bizarre hem on it, a pair of booties for the new baby and a variety of carriers for my sister in law to try once he's born.
And of course I have to plan out the shopping list for tomorrow's dinner and after this weekend I'm going to be focused on getting the girls and I packed up for San Diego. One week from tomorrow we'll be on a plane out there. :)
