Yesterday I wanted to get a bunch of things done around the house. Yesterday I had grand designs of getting hospital bags packed and ready to go, running laundry, vacuuming, cleaning the kitchen and the bathroom, and dusting the house. Yesterday I felt like doing a lot, but today I am tired. I didn't sleep well last night, and I woke up feeling like I hadn't rested at all. I did clean up my desk and organize Jenna's play area in the living room, but so far that is all I have managed.
Instead of cleaning, I'm sitting here doing nothing and wishing for things that I can't afford. I would LOVE to organize the corner that we are setting up for the baby in our room. I would love to set up a bassinet and a diaper changing area. I would also love to get a few new unisex sleepers to have to take to the hospital. It really sucks being married to a teacher who is in between school and a job. Even if a teaching job does come through, we won't have a paycheck until September. So, all of our spare money is going to bills and I am feeling sorry for myself. We also really need a car seat. I am so picky when it comes to them and I can't bring myself to get a used one. I just really want to know that my baby is safe and that the seat won't fail on me because of some unknown problem from the prior owner.
I feel like part of what is keeping me from doing the cleaning I need to do is the fact that I want to get ready for the baby and I feel like I can't. I need to quit whining and just realize that sometimes things don't go the way you want. Usually I do a really good job of living frugally and not needing THINGS to be happy, but right now I would really like to have a few new things and the money to go buy them... sigh...

Sorry you're feeling so poopy!! Don't know if this helps any, but right now Big Lots has convertible car seats from Alpha Omega for $60...they look really nice!...and you'd better get that bag packed! You're running out of time fast!!! :0) YAY!
I'm with ya on the not-sleeping thing... it's really hot over here and every time I move in my sleep, my shoulders pop and wake me up. Apparently I'm 80 and didn't know it. :/
