39 Weeks

Getting our duplex in order has really consumed our morning/afternoons the past week.  There are moments that I stop and think.... I am going to have a baby in a matter of days and I am currently doing __________. (fill with painting/cleaning/plumbing/scrubbing/sweeping/grouting/tiling/ect).  Yesterday Lance and I took a much needed break from our hard work and enjoyed a lovely picnic of Cafe Rio on the front lawn surrounded by the rubble that was once our duplex.  So far we have made decent progress, but we definitely aren't as far along as I would have hoped.  Today was my (by choice) last day up at the duplex helping.  I even made a list of the things we still need to accomplish and to my frustration and ADHD I wasn't able to cross off most items as being "completed" because I like to hop from one project to the next without the previous being entirely finished.  Lance has his work cut out for him over the next few weeks.  Midterms, duplex remodeling, work, new baby, no sleep, and basketball tryfouts in 3 weeks.... may the odds be ever in his favor.
