10 on Tuesday

1. Since its a hour and a half until Wednesday, I decided that I just might want to post on Tuesday...per the title of this post!
2. Today my dad surprised us and came for a visit. He took us to lunch and just enjoyed some time together.
3. Last week Joseph's parents were here for a visit. We had a good time with them, don't know when we will get to see them again.
4. During my inlaws visit we accomplished lots around the house. We painted the dining room, changed locks on one of the doors, put in a motion light outside and I really feel like we did something else; but its just not coming to me right now.
5. Tomorrow I get to go to the doctor. Ugh. Its a good thing I like my doctor. Just going in for a check up.
6. Looking forward to Friday and getting my hair trimmed. Klayton will also be getting his trimmed as well.
7. I have been wanting to get rid of a lot of my cleaning products because of all their chemicals and because I have a little boy that gets into EVERYTHING! So, I have been switching to vinegar, baking soda and Dawn dish soap. Vinegar has so many amazing uses, as does baking soda.
8. Its been gorgeous outside and we have been loving it. Today we went for a walk and it was so enjoyable. Unfortunately, "they" say snow is in the forecast tomorrow.
9. I have not been a good blogger lately. I really do have so much to say; but yet I just can't right now. Hate times like these.
10. My daily reminder to self: God IS good, God IS right.

Where I Fail

I know I fail in many areas, however I also know that one of my major areas is cleaning. I hate to clean. Seriously, I hate it. Yet, I also hate the thought of a dirty toilet, I hate my counter tops being full of dirty dishes, I hate an unmade bed that would look so pretty if I would just take the time to make it.
I tend to put cleaning off until I have no choice but to clean than it ends up being an all day task to clean one room or laundry suddenly becomes a mountain to high to climb in one days time. Sometimes I lay in bed thinking how I could become better in this area, I hear or read random tidbits that would be helpful and maybe even kind of neat to do. I soak in that neat idea then put it to good use for an hour before I become bored.
Someday, I'm going to be an amazing housekeeper...they will want to give me my own show; but until then I'm going to try and do a little cleaning everyday...can I do it?

10 on Tuesday

1. Tomorrow I will be 33 weeks! YAY! And as of September 1st, I can start saying that my baby is due NEXT month! What a fun and crazy thought!
2. Last week we had a meeting in Iowa...we were supposed to be in Nebraska for a meeting; but they cancelled us last minute.
3. After our meeting in Iowa and in anticipation of our meeting in Nebraska, we stayed in Omaha for a couple of days rather than drive all the way home just to drive back to Nebraska. While in Omaha, I was able to attend my friend, Diana's baby shower and had so much fun!
4. I have a lot on my agenda this week-cleaning and catching up on my pregnancy scrapbook, we will see how much energy I have and how much can get accomplished with that energy!
5. I made Klayton a fleece soccer blanket and I plan on devoting an entire post sometime this week to this undertaking! Haha! I will post pictures when I write about it! Lol!
6. Am I the only one in the world that is a shampoo hoarder? What I mean is, it seems like I have a gazillion bottles of shampoo…I go to the salon and I buy shampoo and conditioner both and it seems conditioner always runs out first. So, next time I go…even though I still have ½ a bottle of shampoo left I buy another bottle of shampoo and conditioner and I run into the same dilemma once again! What a money waster. So, I have decided that I will not buy another bottle of shampoo until I am completely out of my own shampoo! No more salon conditioner either…I bought Suave Rosemary Mint Conditioner and let me rave on that for a minute-it smells wonderful and I love it and its much CHEAPER than salon conditioner! Wow, #6 became quite a ramble….
7. Another ramble...grocery shopping. I am seriously beginning to hate that job, its almost depressing. But, if I were to hire someone to do it for me, so I don't have to see the ridiculous prices of groceries I would spend even more money and that would not be a good thing.
8. My parents are coming up for the weekend, that should be fun! My Mom has yet to see our new townhouse.
9. Remember to vote in my poll on the right! I can't wait to see what people think! So, after you read number 10-VOTE!!
10. As I type this, I’m sitting in what will soon be Klayton’s bedroom. His crib is ready to be set up, there are little boy clothes everywhere, baby blankets, a stroller and even a little plastic golf club set in the room…I am going to have a little boy in my arms in 8 weeks! Wow! God is SO good to me, to give so many blessings to me! Blessings that give me reason, even the more to love and praise my Savior!
