Normally, I have no problem leaving my kitchen a bit messy... Dishes piled in the sink? I just leave them there and do them in the morning... (Or afternoon, or evening...) So there are ALWAYS dishes in my sink, pots and pans on the stove. I keep the rest of the house quite clean... I vaccuum, sweep, mop, and dust weekly (sometimes twice a week, cause the dog sheds a lot!) and general pick up happens daily... Its not a big deal, because we have a little galley kitchen, tucked away in the corner, out of site. No one sees the mess... But lately, I can't go to bed if it is icky in there. I mean, what if I went into labor in the middle of the night? I would hate for my mom to trudge over here at three in the morning to stay with my kids and see that I've left her a huge mess to clean up! That would be embarrassing! So I try to keep up with the chores. Problem is, I don't know when its going to happen! I could go into labor now, or not for another three weeks! So I end up having to do things way too often... Changing bedlinens, washing my blankets (wouldn't do to have her have to sleep in a dirty bed... That would be rude!) trying to keep the bathroom neat, trying to keep up with the laundry... All while being so pregnant that I feel like that marshmellow man in Ghostbusters!!! Its really stressing me out!!! Today, James tried to make the witchling a smoothie, and apparently, the blender had a leak... Smoothie went EVERYWHERE... Right out of the bottom of the machine... Turns out the pitcher cracked during the move... He cleaned it up, of course, but I still had to go and move all of the stuff on the counter and clean up sticky melted smoothie out from everything... Our kitchen smells very fruity right now! Normally, I would have left it for tomorrow, instead of doing it at 11:15 at night (which is past my bedtime anyway) but NO!!!! This stupid little voice in the back of my head is insisting, "What if you go into labor TONIGHT!!! Can't leave a mess!!!" Its driving me bananas!!! Things you can only learn from movies and television... If I see one more little winky... |
