7 weeks to go!

Another week of work begins today. Yes, I realize that it's Tuesday, but I work Tuesday - Friday. Really, I have good hours and days, yet some days seem a LOT longer than others, and some weeks just draaaaag along. I've been pretty tired lately, but I'm glad there's only 7 weeks (or so) left.

The good news is that there have been talks of a baby shower *before* Olivia gets here. That will mean fewer things that I will have to purchase (hopefully!). More on that as the details get worked out.

The bad news is that I'm beginning to really stress about different things. One being that this is about the time of year that detassling talk begins. I hate detassling season - and I have lots of reasons to. One being that the first year that we got married, 10 (or so) people stayed at our house 3 weeks after we got back from our honeymoon. Talk about zero privacy. The past year I started an in-home daycare and didn't really think that it would be wise to have a millon people around during the day. So they said there would be 4 of them and they'd stay in the basement. 4 quickly turned to 6 and it took me almost a week of taking all their crap downstairs before they realized that when I agreed to them staying in the basement, I meant it. This year there had better not be any talk of them staying with us because there is no way I'm cleaning up/feeding all of them while taking care of a 2 month old. IT WILL NOT HAPPEN. I'm obviously not a very forceful person when it comes to telling people what to do, but I can assure you that this year will be different. As you can tell, this stresses me out the most.

Here's to another long week of working, sleeping, and hopefully no more wintery weather.
