Shvifty-Niner

It's 2:46 am and I'm finding it utterly impossible to sleep. Mulling around my mind is the list of fifty nine things on my to do list before baby brudda arrives in a few weeks.  The list is printed and posted on the fridge. Once each task is completed it gets highlighted yellow. I don't know why yellow and not pink or blue, for some reason yellow is the only color that can represent a finished task. Am I beyond bizarre or what?

For me to say I'm beyond excited to be blessed with two children would be a substantial understatement. However, if you've ever met me... you know what a freak I am about having a plan and everything in it's place. Some call this character trait "O.C.D" I prefer to borrow my dad's definition: Punctilious- showing great attention to detail.

The problem though is I'm completely out of control of almost the entirety of our situation. So my answer has been to control what I can. Duh, simple theory. So my list of tasks is basically fifty nine ways I can maintain some particular sense of stability on this wild ride!

And when all else fails... I pump up the music and bring in recruits!

Tried to view video but it is working???????? By the way, Sister Hone gave me a beautiful blue knit outfit for Rider.

I mean, it is NOT working- apparently my typing fingers aren't either.

The video is darling. Layla will love looking at that when she is older; what a treasure.
