I am getting ready for my parents to come. That means tons of cleaning and organizing. Especially the room where they are staying. There is an unfinished quilt-top on their bed that I should be sewing right now, an iron and ironing board that I trip over almost every time I go in there, a huge dollhouse for Claire that I have had since she has been a year old just waiting for the perfect time to give her, smelly (gross) camping gear from Tim's many trips with the scouts, a Costco size package of paper towels, board games stacked by one side of the bed so you can't get in the bed without stepping on them, clean laundry blocking the doorway and a closet overflowing with stuff. Just stuff!
I don't even want to start talking about the my office which is right outside their door. I can barely see the carpet.
Sigh.
I just stare at this everyday because I don't want to clean it. I don't want to organize it, because how I want to organize everything will cost money, you know for tubs, pretty baskets and labels and things. And, and!... I just don't want to bend over these days.
Another big sigh.
So, right now I am looking at my office and messy guest room saying, oh, I have the weekend to do this, my parents aren't coming until Tuesday. That seems to be the answer to everything in my life right now. Oh, I have this and this, but I can do it later. And, I need to get this done, but maybe I will just take a quick nap first. August is a ways away, right?
So instead of doing daily chores around the house, all I want to do is sleep (because I'm really tired!), redecorate my house (is that called nesting?) and play "Go Fish" with Claire (time with just me and her before #2 comes along). Is that too much to ask?
Oh, yeah, did I mention I'm pregnant?

Hope you get the room done the way you want it, before your parents arrive.
