Fallout


No, this isn't a scene from an episode of Hoarders.
This is a scene from my temporary reality, 
what I like to call Kitchen Remodel Fallout.
And it's killing me.
For the past two days, I've been on couch arrest,
thanks to my husband who is convinced that
I'm "overdoing" it.  What can I say?
He's right; as I've mentioned numerous times,
I'm not good at being pregnant but I'm even 
worse at being on couch arrest.  Particularly now 
that my once ordered home is in a 
state of turmoil and confusion. 
This is not how I live and having to sit
and view it from the couch while 
under strict orders not to get up 
and organize it is torture.
Which is why yesterday, 
when I read about this treat
on my bestest bloggy friend's post, 
I confronted my jailor upon his 
return from work and demanded 
some release time. Thankfully, he complied.
Oh, love!
Thanks for giving me something to live for, Ash!

Ps. Ya know how everyone says that one of 
the best parts of pregnancy is that the prenatals
will make your nails grow like mad? 
Well, check out that thumbnail, baby;
anxious, much?

  1. Woo hoo! So glad to give you something to live for. Tonight we went out for our anniversary and the cashew encrusted fresh Alaskan halibut was to die for. You might have to make it up here to find that one though...not sure that you'll find it nine blocks away. ;) Hold strong against you nesting and organizing tendencies!

  2. Just catching up... And now I want that ice cream, for you to actually see how crazy long MY nails have gotten (because I haven't bitten them down to nubs! :)) and for you to know that something is wrong with your feed... even Ashley said so. So it's not just me being a dumb blond! :)

    Fix it please, I need regular reminders to check in on you!! Because I AM that blond!

  3. Man, if you need to organize, organize. People think I 'overdue' it all of the time. For goodness sakes, I mowed the lawn on Tuesday (my due date) and it made my neighbors cringe. You have to keep yourself sane and keep a movin'.
