Hello All…and welcome to ICLWers! An introduction to who I am can be found HERE.
A few housekeeping things:
1) My back is doing much better than this time last week. I am able to walk, stand, and sit. Sitting is the worst, but I try to keep that to a minimum. There are days when it’s almost back to normal and other days when I still need to take a pain pill. However, it’s pretty decent at the moment. Thank you to all who sent healing thoughts and prayers my way….
2) Today was the first day of DH taking Clo.mid to increase his boys. He’ll be on it for six months and then we will do another SA. Let’s keep our fingers crossed!
3) We have decided to try an keep the appointment with the social worker this week. If on Tuesday afternoon we still are not where we need to be with the house, I will cancel it. So, I have two mornings to bang out our work. Here is the current list:
1) Finish baby proofing (60) (MON) 2) Clean out fridge (40) (MON) 3) Clean out under sink (30) (MON) 4) Finish Master Bath (20) (Sweeping) (MON) 5) Clean walls (60) (MON) 6) Organize desk (30) (MON) 7) Organize Living room (60)
Clean up dining room (30) (TUES)
9) Clean off patio (30) (TUES)
10) Sweep entrance (10) (MON)
11) Sweep/mop all wood (20) (WED)
12) Vacuum all carpets (20) (WED)
13) Straighten bedroom (30) (WED/THURS)
14) Dust all surfaces (15) (TUES)
15) Clean all blankets. (120) (ON GOING)
Beside each task is a number, that’s how long I think it will take to complete. And then I have listed the days that I need to get it done by. Wow!
4) Bunny asked how I am doing with all of this emotionally. It’s a good question. I feel really hopeful and positive about the nursery and the direction we are moving in. I originally thought that I would be having this room be a nursery for my biological child. That’s a tough pill to swallow some days…that we are still trying. However, I am very thankful to be able to help a baby/tot who really needs a safe place. In putting together the nursery, I have really come to realize that I am ready to be a parent. I am ready to take those steps.
In some ways, I think this path is something I have been on for a while. I have always taken care of the people/animals/plants who need it the most. Em is a prime example of that. This is just an extension of those acts.
So, what’s the big news for you this week?
