I am SUCH a slacker

I realize every day that goes by is yet another day that I have not updated our photo site with pictures, or taken a belly picture to compare to the last pregnancy, or updated Lacey's baby book with her latest round of words and teeth. And then I get mad at myself for being such a sloth, but do nothing about it when I get home at night. The only time I feel like doing any of these things is during the day, when I happen to be at work. Figures.

Also, my list of things I want to accomplish before this baby is born is also getting longer and longer by the second, but I don't have the time or energy to do it at night and they are next to impossible on the weekends where I am home with Lacey alone. So that leaves every OTHER weekend to squeeze things in. The first such weekend begins this Saturday. I already have a boatload of plans that day, but maybe by some chance, I can get a little something accomplished in the morning. This must be what they call the Nesting instinct. Incidentally, I did NOT have this phenomena with Lacey. At least not obviously. But recently, the urgency with which these reminders pulse in my head is becoming stronger and louder. If I don't start picking away at this list soon, it is likely that I will snap and go into some kind of crazy cleaning/organizing frenzy and run out of steam. As soon as my energy level matches the urgent reminders in my head, that's when it will probably happen.

One of the biggest things I would like to see happen is a community yard sale. My neighbors and I half-jokingly talked about doing a yard sale on the same day to get the maximum impact for people to come and check it out. Who doesn't love a "Multi-family Yard Sale" that looks like a community flea market! And now that we're having a boy, I could possibly sell a lot of Lacey's clothes at dirt cheap prices and make a mint! *sniff* I will miss her little baby clothes though... But I digress, there's no need to clutter the house with extra things. The need to further discuss this with my neighbors and get things moving is also burning my mind.

See? The list grows by the minute. And I am getting NOTHING done.
