Making a list (or rather LISTS) and checking (THEM) Twice!

With one week to go, I am definitely feeling that "nesting" urge.  If you can call it that when you know you have a deadline approaching!  I have been making lists of things I need to do, buy, or pack before next Tues.  Today I had to add wash and vacuum car to my list.  I don't know why but I want everything to be perfect, perfectly clean, perfectly prepared, etc.  I want to make carmel rolls for girls at work Tues. morning.  I want to get a pedicure on Sat.  I know everything won't be perfect.  Chances are the house won't be perfectly clean.  I might go into labor before my pedicure...  And I know everything will work out fine.  With Allison I didn't even have a bag packed and even though we didn't already have a kid at home, the house was still kind of a mess.  I had had a shower on the Sat. before then was working Mon., and supposed to work Tues. and Wed.  My plan with her was to put away the shower gifts and do Thank You's on Thur. and Fri...  She had other plans for me.  And it all went fine.  (With an extra big Thank You to my mom!!)  I guess what I am trying to say is I am feeling the crunch!!!  Work today and Thur. and then I am done!!!  So, plan is to get as much done around here on Wed and through the weekend as I can.  Allison is going to daycare on Mon. so I can do any last minute errands and mostly my plan for Mon. is to CLEAN!  It is hard to clean with a 2 year old at home!!  She is gong to be a GREAT big sister though!

P.S.  Side note... On Wed. I also have to take Allison to an ENT appt.  It was recommended by her pediatrician after her last ear infection (just a month or so ago) that we see ENT again.  Her left ear still has the tube in there, but not in the right place.  Well, wouldn't you know, she has a stuffy nose again (no other symptoms) which in the past has led to ear infections both prior to her tubes being placed and since they have fallen out.  So we will see what Dr. Pesola has to say.  IF she has another ear infection I am pretty sure we will be doing tubes sooner than later.  Just one more thing to add onto my week!
