Monday Monday.

People have been asking if I've started working on a room for the baby yet. As you can see, no I have not. This weekend I decided to put my procrastinating aside and get started tackling this disaster we call the baby's room. Being Monday, the weekend has past and I am left craving a sense of accomplishment. Kenny and I spent the entire weekend working on things around the house/garage however, it feels like we barely got anything accomplished. It's hard to believe it's Monday already and we are back into the swing of things for the week.

Lately I've been feeling a sense of anticipation for my maternity leave. On one hand, I love the idea of having the time to work on projects, putter around the house, and even put a decent meal on the table by the time Kenny gets home from work. On the other hand, I find no sense of accomplishment or purpose for that matter in puttering and wish that instead of just cleaning here or there, I could get the whole house cleaned in one fell swoop, or instead of getting started on the baby's room, I could just get it finished! I'll call this the housewife dilemma...

On a brighter note, I got new shoes in the mail today. Flats though, so the dusting of snow on the sidewalk this morning means I won't be wearing them for a bit yet. Something to look forward to the next time a chinook roles through town.

Tales From the Delivery Sweet

I had a great day at work today, the kind of day that leaves you feeling that you really made a difference in the world. It reminded me of the rewarding aspect of nursing that people are always talking about, but all too often passes me by...

This is the First Day of the Rest of Your Life

Well, not quite, but it could be.

So here's what this is all about. I have recently stumbled upon the blogs of two young mothers that have inspired me greatly and have in turn decided to start a blog of my own. I admit, I creep their blogs on a daily basis and am not ashamed. They are both incredible, creative, Godly women and they have words to share with the world. Their thoughts, attitudes, and even the way they dress has inspired me over the past few months and I am truly thankful that they put their hearts out into cyberspace on a daily basis for friends and creepers like me to enjoy.

So I've decided to start a blog of my own. I do have Our Little Pal but it is mostly to keep friends and family who don't live in Lethbridge in the loop with baby happenings and I really have been neglecting it lately (what else is there to say? The baby is still in my belly, moving lots, and I am getting bigger each and every day...). 

Not that I feel I really have much to share with the world. My thoughts are boring, my attitude at best sucks, and my sense of style is far from inspirational. But I have always found writing to be strangely therapeutic and considering the fact that my life is about to change in big ways within the next couple months, I've decided it's time for an outlet. 

This is my blog.
