I made need some rescuing if I butcher it. I haven't sewn anything since high school!

And then I'll have a list of Things I Haven't Done to taunt me. I’m afraid I’ll make a really thorough list and then run out of ambition (never mind energy, I already have none).

Then misplacing them. Then making more lists. I like to cross things off when I'm done. Which requires actually doing things and having the list handy when I do, which obviously doesn't happen often. But I'm very energetic about the whole circus. I’m making lots of lists. Then misplacing them. Then making more lists. I like to cross things off when I’m done.

Which may be why the dishwasher is running for the second time this morning, but there are still lunch dishes on the table. Hmmm...

Doesn't matter what - just Anything Else. Until we're down to the last clean glass, underpants, whatever. Then I find myself doing the dishes or laundry at 5:30 am, before I head out to work. But it seems to be working! Just don't ask me what my Christmas tree is still doing up...

I don't know when I actually will. Laura, you're always welcome to vent! Four months old is a hard age-- just search <a href="http://www.askmoxie.org/" rel="nofollow"><strong>ask moxie</strong></a> for "four month old"! Oh my. My holiday laundry is still waiting in piles, and I keep finding more Christmas tree ornaments under the couch, behind the kids' bedroom door, and in sock drawers. Sigh.

I'm working on thinning the number of toys in the house and then hopefully I can get started on taking down the x-mas decorations. I have a four mo. old and she is going through one of those stages you mentioned where she wants to be in-arms all the time! not to mention she's been grunting and feeding a lot more at night waking me up 20+ times. OK maybe not that much. I'm still waiting for a burst of energy to get those toys organized, I used up my last burst on piles of holiday laundry:)Thanks for the chance to vent a little!
