As my time dwindles down as I prepare for our new arrival, I am trying to remember to stop and smell the roses. I feel like I am running in circles and can’t seem to keep up with life. I am finishing up my last few days of work and trying to make sure that I leave no unanswered questions, no unfinished paper work, and no burdens on my friend and job-share partner, Maica. The house is in complete disarray with each room having it’s own issues. The laundry room is awaiting the new washer and dryer- which means I haven’t done laundry in about a week! Kayden’s room is still taped up because Scotty wants to add just one more coat of pink! Our bedroom is housing some of Kayden’s things that were removed due to painting as well as some baby items- but none of which is set up!! Scotty’s office has become a storage unit for all of the crap we had to take out of the other rooms. The garage is under construction to make Scotty’s new office. The kitchen and family room, the primary rooms in my life, are the only ones that have some sanity. I am starting to feel the pressure of a new baby entering into this chaos!! So while I’d love to just stop and smell the roses, it feels like there just isn’t any time. I keep saying tomorrow, or this weekend, or next week. Once work has ended I think I’ll really find the time to just relax and prepare for baby! At the end of the day life will keep moving forward, maybe I’ll take a play from Kayden’s book and stop and smell EVERY flower in the yard…. several times!
