Random Thoughts on a Wednesday

I threw out my shower curtain today.

It felt good.

It wasn't what I wanted when I initially picked it out so every time I walked into our bathroom, it was like a big ugly reminder of how absolutely drab and boring the room looked with that curtain just hanging there {which I guess is what it's supposed to do- but couldn't it at least do its job with some pizazz?}.

Thankfully, the only shower curtain I need to worry about now is the kids bathroom upstairs.

I can deal with that!

I've decided that I hate Geico!

No offense if you use Geico, or are thinking about using Geico, have a cousin that uses Geico or work for Geico. If I hear one more commercial about "That's the money you could be saving with Geico!", I think I'll scream. The gecko was funny- the first 10 commercials they aired. Then it got really old, really fast.

Don't even get me started on the cave men.

Troy likes them, I don't. But I must say, I'd rather cave men than a stack of money with googly eyes- so weird! So silly!

I went to the doctors office today...

Chloe is headed in the right direction- head down. No internal investigation today, which was a little strange since they did one with Peyton around the same time in Louisiana. They'll check up on things next week when I'm at 38 weeks since they don't want to poke around and disturb anything. I delivered Peyton at 39 weeks and he was three days earlier than his due date so we'll see what little miss glow bug decides to do.

Get this: the bed we ordered Peyton has been discontinued. The furniture place decides to tell us this, by email, AFTER we had already paid for it and were counting on it being delivered three weeks away. They're refunding our money back to our account {how nice of them!}

So now it's back to the drawing board. And of course now I have mother's guilt that Peyton will be sleeping on a mattress on the floor with nothing else in the room yet Chloe will have a nursery full of pretty things.

Tomorrow we close on the house and move! Troy thinks we can do it all in one day even though it's a Thursday and a work night. I'm hoping he has enough helping hands! Everything is pretty much boxed up and ready to go. On the agenda today is scrubbing the bathrooms and cleaning the windows. Yesterday, I wiped down the refrigerator and the stove, all of the cabinets and the counters of the kitchen so the very last thing I'll need to do will be sweep/mop/vacuum the floors once the furniture is out tomorrow. I'm ready to be settled already!

I'll see you on the other side when I'm writing from our new study! I'm hoping unpacking is painless and quick {I can always dream, right?}

I'll let you know how everything went...

After this commercial break! :-)

Don't worry about the floor thing. He won't care or remember when he is older.

Ahhhhh, so exciting for you guys. Can't believe you'll be in tomorrow!! And isn't the best part about moving not feeling guilty throwing that stuff away that you never liked that much to begin with?? I love that! It's always nice to have a good excuse to be wasteful, isn't it?! Hope it all goes well....oh yeah and that's frustrating about the bed, for sure!

I had that same mommy guilt when Sara was born. My problem was that I had painted Sara's room but I hadn't painted Allison's room (even though I'd had the paint picked out since we moved into the house!). Allison is oblivious to the paint color of her and Sara's rooms. She is, however, keenly aware of every second I spend holding Sara to feed her or change her, etc. It's the mommy-time that is coveted, not the room decorations. : )
