Simple chores and dreams

I have been smote by the sickness bug once again. Fortunately it does not seem to be the strepthroat that Hubby had last week. I am just really tired and foggy headed and not wanting to do much except sleep. Which means the plans for moving boxes out of the nursery is most likely not going to get done. Though I did do housework yesterday including mopping the floor. *Trumpets toot and there is a great cheering of voices* (at least from Hubby anyways). So Smiles friend from Kindergarten did not show up for the planned playdate yesterday. His mom was supposed to call if they couldn't make it so I was a little annoyed at that but I understand since she did warn me that if her husband came home from work early they would probably do something with him instead. Also B was sick on Friday - hmm maybe that's where this came from.


So instead of hosting B and his brother I ended up getting into a huge argument with Hubby over the housework. Sigh, I just want him to do his chores. After all if the kids can pick up their clothes and put them in the hamper why can't he? They put away the folded clothes, help with the dishes and Bear feeds the cats every morning. These are little things but I end up nagging him to do a simple task for over a week and then he gets angry with me for nagging him. So it is a vicious cycle and I am hoping that he gets where I am coming from. I have already stated that I am not that great of a housekeeper but I do try. I just get tired of picking everything up after everyone has gone through a room.

And if I am sick, wow, nothing gets done around the house. It is very frustrating because then instead of recuperating like I am supposed to I end up spending all my energy on just trying to maintain the status quo. Which quite frankly is minimal to be begin with, but at least I can see my floors and know they are dirty as opposed to some people I know. I also ran out of dish soap and need to get more before doing the dishes tonight. I do understand Hubby's position where he has been working long hours lately and is tired when he comes home. But if he can help me with a few simple tasks then it makes it easier to get the larger ones done. Such as changing over the nursery. I was hoping to get that done before September ended but I may have to wait til mid October.

Anyways I have been trying to wash all of my fabric purchases and want to get some sewing done before the baby is born. Because quite frankly I do not know if I will have the energy or time once baby has arrived. So my plans of making double the cloaks I made last year may be overly optimistic. I think reality will be closer to me making as many as I did last year which if I remember correctly was around 10-15 cloaks. Also Raven and I have been going to the gym with Fox and that has been fun. But by the time we are done (if we can get to a hottub in time) it is getting late and I do not want to stay up very late because of the kids and school in the morning. So our sewing plans have not come to anything like fruition lately. I am hoping that changes soon since bending down and crawling on my knees cutting things up will only get harder for me. haha.
