Nesting?

Today I have had a burst of energy.
I got up early
Got all the kids dressed and ready for the day
Made waffles for breakfast
Made Danika's Lunch
Made copies and got some File Folder Games Laminated
Went Grocery Shopping
Vacuumed and armoralled the car
Swept and vacuumed the garage out
Fed the boys
Helped Andrew with his Homework
Mowed the Lawn
Picked vegetables from the garden
Scrubbed the sink
and now I have the urge to go through the kids clothes and bake bread.
I have heard that some women get strange urges. Like taking the knobs off cupboard doors to clean the SCREWS that hold them together. Do you get nesting urges? Have you ever done something strange?

Wow!! I am just the opposite today. I don't really want to do anything. I have urges like that every now and then, but usually I am wishing that someone else would do them. lol! Go girl!
When you're done at your house, feel free to come over and do mine. :)

btw... I got a phone call from Jacob yesterday afternoon. I think he pushed redial. We talked for a minute (though I didn't understand a word) and I couldn't get him to go and get you! Haha. I guess its better me than 911, right?!

Wow! I wish I had 1/10 of the energy you have. I do recall at the end of my last pregnancies, I have cleaned out the fridge and organized closets....but isn't that stuff I should be doing anyway?

You're amazing! Makes me feel like I need to kick myself into gear! I must say that I did a lot a work today though. I didn't leave the court room except for a two minute break for a full 4 hour period. I'm exhausted!

Hurry Sandra, my house is just down the street. There is plenty for you to do here!

I wish I had that need to clean!!

ummmm yeahhhh....
I hate it when I am taking a shower and I see all the hard water buildup so I soak my showerhead in CLR. Also I CLR alot of my faucets because I can't stand hard water buildup anywhere. I vacuum out my dryer's lint catcher. I clean my light fixtures (I don't like seeing dead bugs in there). I have a gas stove and I hate all the "black stuff" that stays on there so I soak it in pure ammonia and water. I clean my tile grout regularly with magic eraser and grout cleaner. I wash my baseboards with again, magic eraser. I throw my running shoes in the washing machine to get them nice and white again.

But oddly enough, I dry heave at getting my hair out of my hair brush.

Yep, I am weird and I spend a small fortune in magic erasers.

The night before I had Max I was scrubbing the baseboards in my bathroom with diaper wipes. Jon walked in, looked at me, shook his head, and walked out. I said, "Oh no you don't! Get back in here and help me. So we sat on the floor together, wiping away, and laughing. It was good times.

Hey sandra! I'm not sure if you remember me, but I was in the greenfield ward, I lived in the yellow house on the corner. I found your blog through Heather's. It's fun to see what your up to! congratulations on your soon to be addition! I don't know how you do it. I just have two boys and I feel like I am crazy!

Nat said...

Kudos! I don't have that kind of energy...and I'm not even pregnant! Way to go!

I know that feeling! I had to organize the whole house in one day, then do it over again the next day...then i went into labor :)

Anonymous said...

(o: I bet you were tired by the end of that busy day. Even when not pregnant I didn't do that much.

Tina said...

Nope definately not that much energy. You are AMAZING to me, you always have been. "Super-Mom" the one we all try to be. :)

Amber said...

Whoa...you just made my 3 hour stint cleaning the bathroom look like a walk in the park. When I'm pregnant I lay on the couch, watch the baby shows on Discovery Health and devor pints of Ben and Jerry's. I consider myself exempt from any kind of cleaning for the full 9 months!!
