norsegirlHaven't accomplished too much in the last few days. Just sitting on the couch working on baby gifts. I'm getting very close to completion on at least a few of them. I'm sure you all remember the longship from way back in June. I finally got all the soft pieces ready for the viking mobile for one of my brothers. Just have to cut down some dowel, drill some holes in it and string them all up and it's fininshed. That sure took longer than I figured it would.
Once this is finished I just have to get him to send me his address. I've been asking for a few days now with no response - sigh.
This week I've also been working on keeping the kitchen clean and that has been a bright spot in the house. Not waking up to a pile of dirty dishes really is a nice, cheap gift you can give yourself every morning.
Yesterday I bought another plant. This time I bought an indoor one that doesn't need to be replanted. I picked up a spider plant for the baby's room to help with air exchange and keep her healthy :) It didn't look too hot in the store, but when I got home and trimmed off the dead foliage it cleaned up real good. In a few months I'll split it so we can have spider plants all over the house. I'm not sure why, but I really, really like spider plants. Good thing since they are one of the best air cleaners you can buy, and cheap too since you never have to change a filter.
This weekend's goal is to get the entire main floor cleaned. The kitchen is mostly there (just a bit of clutter because I'm installing more shelves in the laundry room, so I've had to move some stuff out of the way in there). In the dining room I just have to put away the laundry. I tell ya, the big table is the BEST THING IN THE WORLD for folding laundry. The entire dining room should take maybe 10 minutes to restore to gleaming perfection. The living room is another story. It's a complete disaster with clutter everywhere. We'll probably have to spend the bulk of the weekend on this room. I do think it is a goal we can achieve though. I'd like to make a dent in my sewing room (hang the blind and some shelves) but if that doesn't get finished I'll just continue to close the door and not beat myself up over it.
Next weekend is the upstairs and some last-minute cleaning and we'll be all ready for my sister's visit and the baby. A lot of my friends have had or are having their babies early. On one hand I'm a wee bit jealous. On the other hand they're all getting c-sections or inductions, so I'm constantly reminding myself that patience will be rewarded when it comes to my recovery time.
