I am so exhausted. I can't believe I'll feel this way for 6 more weeks. Today in particular has been hard, which I think is because I pushed it too hard yesterday. I moved a bunch of things around the house, including boxes and stuff in the basement and transporting other things from the upstairs down to the basement. I got tired of waiting for Travis to get around to doing it, about which I did my best to not get annoyed because I know he's been working so hard on the floors and other things to finish up the kitchen. You should definitely check out the updated pictures - gorgeous! But the floors were a LOT of work - 3 days of pretty tedious labor, and he did a great job. I am so happy to have such a beautiful and functional kitchen.
But I'm also tired of how much work it has been. Our housecleaner came today and everything is looking so nice, so I'm just sitting and enjoying how nice it is to have a clean, tidy, beautiful house. But even getting ready for her to come is a lot of work, so that added to the physical workout I got yesterday. My hips hurt, probably because my body is doing that relaxing thing in order to prepare for this baby to come out. My lower back aches from carrying baby and from all the work yesterday, and my upper back aches from being unable to get comfortable at night. My ribs hurt from the physical assault going on all the time, and all my muscles from my belly button down through my hip flexors are sore, too. *sigh* I think that's all, though.
Thursday I'm going to go get a pedicure with my sister-in-law, and I am so excited! She and I used to run together, and since I've started this reproducing thing, we haven't gotten nearly the same kind of quality chat time in even though she's still training for half-marathons and such. And I can't reach my toes anymore so a pedicure is kind of necessary for me. We're going to this uber-classy spa in west des moines. I figure if I get one pedicure every 5 years, it's not going to be at some cheap place in the mall.
I'm a terrible mother - I am so annoyed with Emily for doing the most typical things. I had a cookie sheet with taco shells on it at the table tonight, and I was holding it over her head to scoop them off onto Travis's plate, and of course she grabbed the edge of the sheet!! It was only a 200° oven so I think it didn't really burn her, but it probably did hurt a little. Jeez, don't grab things that are hot! Don't run out into the street!! Stay in freaking bed and don't wander around in the dark upstairs! I'm tired of climbing stairs... I guess I'm just plain tired. But my house is lovely...
