Sidetracked

Okay, so the pooping in the potty seemed to overall be an experience Emily did not enjoy, and she's been leery of the potty ever since. Oh well - she's still in diapers, so it's not like it's a bad time for a setback.

The remodeling is in full swing now. The kitchen floor has been torn up, and the dining room carpeting has been moved to the den in the basement. There's only a few small things to take care of in that room before Travis's desk can go in there, and then the guest bed can be moved downstairs. I have been painting Emily's room, so the border is all yellow and tomorrow during Emily's nap I'll roll out the walls - first coat. That room had such dark paint in it that all in all it'll take two coats of primer and two coats of paint to really look nice. Thursday, the new cabinets will be delivered here, and then on Saturday the demolition will begin. Emily and I will be in Rockford over the weekend to avoid the hubbub. I'm sure that's all the further that things will stay on track, so I won't bother with details until it actually comes true. The thing that worries me is that Travis wants to install the flooring by himself, which will be a whole weekend project, probably. The logical weekend to do it is Sept 12 - the ISU / Iowa football game. Gah!!!

I went to my last pilates class tonight, and it was good. I enjoyed getting a little exercise, just a little bit of exertion but mostly relaxation and focus on just what shape my body is these days. Baby likes to jump around most evenings starting at about 8:30. Last night I was asleep by 9:30, and woke up tireder than ever at 6:30 AM and had a screaming headache most of the day. To summarize: these days, I feel like crap. My ribs HURT, and I have an overall achey feeling like I have a fever, but no other symptoms. I'm exhausted and clumsy and feeling overwhelmed and unambitious all at the same time.

Right on schedule - baby's jumping!
