I’ve been bit!!

Yesterday, all day, on his surprise day off, A wanted to clean the house.  And I?  Wanted to lay on the couch.  Preferably asleep.  This morning I was looking forward to not feeling guilty about doing just that while M napped.  And finally – he went down for his nap.  But instead of laying down, I decided to sweep the kitchen floor.  And then I mopped it.  And then I noticed a dirty spot on the wall so I lifted the mop up and cleaned that up.  And then I noticed that the one spot looked cleaner than the rest of the wall… so I mopped the entire wall.  And then I moved to the bathroom and did the same thing there.  At which point I realized… WTF was I doing????  Yes, I like a clean house.  But I am NOT the type to mop the walls randomly.  Maybe before a party – but even that isn’t likely unless I run out of things to stress about.  I realized that THIS is what pregnant ladies talk about.  I’ve finally been bit by the nesting bug.  It never happened with M…. but it is happening this time.

And as I walked up the steps to write this post?  I realized something else.  Even after mopping the floors and walls I wasn’t tired.  Hellllllllo second trimester energy boost, how nice of you to finally show your face.  Although – it’s less of a boost and more of a “back to normal” feeling.  Anyway, if you’ll excuse me… I need to go figure out if my living room drapes are easy to get off and clean and put back on or if that’s something I can’t do. (I wish I was kidding – but it’s consuming my every thought right now)
