In a rut Tuesday
Am I the only one that feels like I live in a rut while pregnant? Like I am literally just sitting around waiting for my life to continue, to change, to develop and move forward. Like I can't make any future plans without knowing who this little being is that is growing inside of me.
I find it leaves me often feeling bored, useless and behind on things. Which, referring back to my love of being on the ball; of being ahead of the curve and planning everything down to a science--this wears on me. a lot. I find little satisfaction in lists anymore, because I know that my lists are changing so much, that I need so many things, that there is so much to do and to wonder about, and that is unknown, I can't put the right words down on any sort of list.
But, as the date edges closer (slowly), I get more excited, and more productive. So as we enter the last stretch of pregnancy, my lists get completed (by Tyler), and things start to make more sense in my linear fashioned mind.
Last night I got home and I was just totally wiped out. Garett had an excessive amount of energy, so I chased him around for a bit, and we played outside. But he really wanted energetic daddy, I think. Daddy had an estimate like 40 mins from our house at 5 pm, so it was a later night for him. Poor G had to be entertained by me for 3 hours haha.
I took out some chicken from the freezer, but really, really did not want to cook. We needed a few things at the store, so I texted tyler to see if he could get them so I didn't have to lug G there, and go back out.
G and I grazed around on some food waiting for Tyler. Ty picked up a bunch of stuff and we snacked on that instead of cooking a big dinner. We had some French bread and crackers with fruits and veggies and dip, and olives and hummus and some cream cheese and our jelly's from the market. He bought some cheese curds as well. G went nuts. He eats so much when a spread like that is out lol.We don't have little snack dinners like that often, but I think it's probably his favourite thing when we do, lol.
Got that all cleaned up and put away, and then the boys did baths and I relaxed a bit. Garett was out cold by 9, and we watched another episode of scandal before turning in. I was livid by how the episode ended, so I had trouble falling asleep lol
Today is a half day for me. I am heading out around noon, and going to my follow up ultrasound. So I plan on doing a load or two of laundry when I get home, grabbing a quick bite for myself and tidying up before getting G. It's amazing how productive you can be in 2 hours when it's just you.
I'm hoping for a very quiet/fast rest of the week. The countdown is getting smaller and smaller, and it makes time pass slower I find, having something so major to look forward to! I am done work in 23 days (only 17 more working days :)). come on June 30!!
