Good Day

Hooray for being 28 weeks pregnant today, which means I only have 12 weeks (or less) to go!

And hooray for my favorite president, George W., for sending me a big ol' fat check in the mail yesterday. Now Ashlyn can have a crib, a stroller, a car seat and lots of other fun baby things. Saturday is going to be a very fun day for me and a very good day for Babies R Us.

And hooray for my kitchen sink being dish-free for the last 2 1/2 weeks because I have faithfully emptied the dishwasher and put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher!

Diapers

I've never changed a diaper.

And EJ has never changed a diaper.

Good thing my mom lives nearby so she can teach me how to change a diaper. But I have no interest in learning until my baby comes, so no, I do not want to change your child's diaper. That's gross.

But I do want this T-Bib.

The One Good Thing About Cleaning Checks

So, I've decided to become a cleaner person. Yes, I realize I've said that before and it hasn't happened, but I am 100% serious this time. I am sick of walking in to my kitchen and seeing a sink full of dishes, the counters covered with who knows what and a trash can that should have been taken out a week ago. I probably shouldn't admit the level of mine and EJ's disgustingness, but don't they teach you in AA that before you can recover, you have to admit that you have a problem? (I don't really know what they teach you in AA, but I've seen basic stuff on TV).

I refuse to force my child to live in what I live in (it's not like we live like those people with 98 cats that have feces and trash and lots of other gross things all over their house, but we are not clean people). The only time I make my apartment look presentable is when people come over, so hooray for my sister who is coming to visit later this week, which is forcing me to spend the next few nights cleaning!

And after I clean my apartment this week, my goal is to keep it clean and start cleaning up after myself every day. How sad is it that I'm in my 20's and I haven't learned how to clean up after myself yet? And after that, my goal is to teach my husband to clean up after himself every day. I'm not allowed to yell at him right now because I'm just as bad as he is, but I am looking forward to the day that I can yell at him and not feel guilty about it.
