Preparing for Woozle #2 (Vol. 001)

First of all, I suppose I should explain how I came up with the word woozle and what a woozle is. I believe I heard the word woozle used on Winnie the Pooh. It's like some sort of monster or something. Well one day I was babysitting 3 children under the age of 4 and they were all acting like MONSTERS! I was pretty much at my limit and looking for a word to describe to someone how the day had gone. What did I come up with? "They're all acting like such...WOOZLES!!!" So now that's the word I use when referring to children, rugrats, munchkins, whatever it is you like to call them.

So about 3 weeks ago, I wrote out a very detailed itemized list of all the things I felt I needed to have accomplished before Little Woozle Addison is born. It's really helped me not feel so overwhelmed with all I had to do. Even on days when I can only mark off one thing it still feels good. Yes, there have been days when I couldn't cross anything off my list, but I think that's ok.

Yesterday I got to cross of two things, one thing I really hate doing and one BIG thing.

I hate putting away the clean laundry. I have no problem washing and drying laundry, but I have a real problem with folding and putting it away once it's clean. I have no idea why; it makes no sense to me. I just don't like it, but I finally bit the bullet and got it done!

I also got the girls' bedroom (it seems so weird to call it that!) completely clean & organized. I separated baby toys from big kid toys, cleaned off the changing table and Addison's crib since I'd let them become catch-all's in my laziness, picked up all the dirty clothes and put away the clean ones, and vacuumed the floor. I doesn't seem like that big a deal, but when you're 36 weeks pregnant it really is!

I'll end this for now since I myself find it very boring and I can tell that I'm rambling. I will try to upload some pictures of the girls' room. We'll see how it goes, I'm still trying to figure all of this out & it seems to be sort of confusing since I have to do it all from my blackberry because we don't have a computer right now.
