Can't sleep

[norsegirl]

Hmmmm... it appears I've used that subject line before. Well, that's the situation. It's before 5:30 in the morning and I am up. What is this world coming to? I had an afternoon nap yesterday (not a long one even) but I'm still yawning so I'm obviously not completely rested. However, I can't sleep. My mind is all abuzz with the various projects I'm working on and it's not like I can get comfortable, and I was STARVING, so I gave in to the rumbly tummy, and decided to stop tossing and turning and messing up Jason's sleep and got up.

Things on the project list:
- super-sekret giftie thing for Mona
- viking mobile (x2 - one for a gift and one for me)
- throw pillow covers (4)
- master bedroom curtains
- cloth menstrual pads (this was where most of the thinky was going)
- baby blankets
- burp cloths
- finish wooden animals for Em
- paint and finish Jason's box
- make box for me
- cloth dolls for baby (long-term project, no immediate deadline, some thinky here too)

I'm thinking based on the hour that I'm going to have to do something that doesn't require power tools, not even the sewing machine, just so I don't wake Jason yet again. So that narrows it to mobiles or ironing all the pre-washed flanelette that's all over the dining room table (blankets, burp cloths and cloth pads). Mobiles are more fun, but maybe the brainlessness of ironing is good for this hour of the day. If I finish that quickly maybe I can start cutting out all the pieces for various things too.

My gift possibly requires power tools??? *excited*

Not as much power tools as you're probably thinking ;) Working on it today and hoping to get it done soon.

You have my utmost admiration, not because power tools are scary but because you're so pregnant and using real RAW POWER! ARRGH!!!!!!!!!!

To be honest, using the power tools while pregnant is easier than doing more "normal" things like laundry and dishes. I have a hard time bending to do laundry and can't get close enough to my sink and cupboards to wash and put away dishes. Power tools are compact and still easy to get close to on the other hand. Strange but true.
