December is for lists
December 8th, 2009
December — the time to make lists. Except this year my lists are not for Santa. My lists are for me, and for you, and for Richard, and for my friends. I am making lists for co-workers, bosses. The lists are for information, procedures, phone numbers, names. The lists are for dates, events, shopping, groceries.
I like lists. Maybe I should make a list of lists… oh, I just did.
The problem is that despite all my lists I am not feeling more organized. I am just realizing, instead, how completely and woefully unprepared I am to deal with this baby.
I pray she doesn’t come early. Especially since I couldn’t get a hair appointment until the 14th; especially since my pre-baby pedicure is not until the 15th. Especially since my mom won’t be here until the 18th! And Maja’s pre-k play (did I tell you that she’s the “lead” in the play?!?) is the 18th and her ballet recital is the 20th. I can not miss those events. (See, a list of Important Events That Must Be Attended).
And then there’s the biggest list of all: the Honey-Do list. Stay tuned.

Fingers crossed that you make it to the play and recital!
I’ve been there – after telling Erik that his little sister would be born AFTER his 4th birthday, not before – yep, she was 2 1/2 weeks early, arriving 2 days BEFORE his birthday. Which I was somehow not expecting because Erik was late (silly me). Fortunately we had his party the weekend before.

I’ll cross my fingers for you, if you’ll cross them for me. I too would prefer that Elly not arrive before her due date. There is still so much to be done.
