Tax season is in full swing and the house construction is messing with my nesting. Being pregnant is the best motivation to do everything we have put off...well, I wouldn't say put off, but the reality is that we have finally accepted that we will be spending the next few years in our townhouse due to the horrible market so we figure we should turn our house into a home. It started with new curtains and has become a huge remodel project that began in December resulting in a gorgous remodeled kitchen and a sparkling new bathroom (still in process). My hubby is good at bringing me down from those emotional moments...his favorite saying is "don't let the hormones win". And I know sometimes I do but 3 months of dust and random tools everywhere is enough to drive a normal woman insane, but combine my crazy hormones and it is over the top. I'm glad we did it before Baby Franco makes his grand entrance because the dust is EVERYWHERE, but I'm ready for it to be over and the nursery project to begin. We have less than 8 weeks till D-Day and everysingle baby item that has been purchased or given to us is lined up in boxes and bags in the dining room...and all I want to do is organize and put it all away!
The nesting instinct is a strange feeling...it's such a huge internal desire to make everything perfect and create this healthy peaceful enviornment. If only I had the time. Working tax season hours is way more exahsting than I imagined it would be...I figured if I could study and pass my CPA during the first 6 months of my pregnancy, than tax season should be managable. But these long hours have been completely exahausting and my Doctor wants me to cut back to a 40 hour week. I have no problem working a 40 hour week myself...I would love to have those 15 extra hours to myself at home, but my work will make my world miserable. I cut back last week and worked 49 which actually made a difference in how I felt but we'll see what the doctor says this week. Overall, I know the health of my baby is my main concern and that if things don't work out with my current employer God has a bigger plan. It's just so stressful working in that enviornment and I wish it didn't have to be that way.
