On Humming

I'm grateful that April is a fairly quiet month as far as events go. Sure, there's a couple birthdays in the loop, no big shakes. It's been raining consistently for days, which I suppose is alright, April Showers... and all.

The weather still hasn't been warm enough to get in the kid's room and paint anything. I'm a stickler for keeping the bought heat inside the house and not getting dopey on paint fumes in a closed room. This is turn doesn't leave much time (I feel) to do anything. We need to clean, sand, and paint the windowsills, the trim, and the actual walls. Probably a day or two project... maybe three if we stretch it out. Of course we then need to build the furniture. We recently received the crib set (crib, changing table, and dresser) which is sitting in the bird's room until we can actually build it. Paco stares at vindictively since we just cleaned his room out, and now there's more shit piling in.

I'll be hitting my 30 week milestone tomorrow. 30 weeks! Shit! That leaves an alleged 10 weeks left to dropping it like it's hot. I don't want to be unprepared for his arrival, so I might just have to suck it up and let some of that much coveted bought heat out. His first shower is in three weeks. Getting a bunch of stuff for him feels like it might be overwhelming in that, we really have no where to put it right now. Lots of laundry will need to be done so his clothes are prepped. Organizing of his room will need to be done.

I've been thinking of asking to cut my work week down to four days starting next month, but I really can't afford that. Though, the extra day would be nice to get stuff done. Being knocked up and working full time leaves one exhausted and not wanting to do additional items when finally at home. But... you gotta do what you gotta do.
