Default Re: what are you doing (if anything) to make time go by faster?

lay out all the clothes for the kids for each day I am at the hospital since Dh has NO fasion sence and I don't want them looking like orphans
LOL...that sounds very familiar! I do give my DH credit for admitting it, though, and almost always asking me to get their (the girls, at least) clothes out if he's dressing them. My boys, on the other hand, no longer need their mama to dress them, but....ACK...they both took after DH! I can very much relate!

Just pushing on here... Thankfully, several of our kids' activities ended for this school year in the past week or two. That's one load off. Next week Kiley's new dresser will be in so I can transfer the girls' clothes and make room for baby's. Hopefully we'll have our new washer/dryer by then, too, so I can wash all of the baby stuff...which reminds me I still need baby detergent. My baby shower is tomorrow. The dogs go to the vet on Monday. We need to get the kids in for annual physicals. My DH really needs some major dental work done before the baby comes (oh boy, great fun for huge, in-pain me having him out of commission for a few days ). I picked up our pool for the birth, but still need to order the liner and get other supplies ready. I need to figure out what we'll be eating around baby time...hopefully I can count on my mom to help there? Of course, the house is a continuous work in progress...I really need to steam clean the upstairs carpets, but who knows if and/or when that will happen?

Remainder of May:
*The boys and I have school to finish up...and then have relaxed summer projects/journaling to start.
*Our 5yo will be with my parents for three days the end of the month...and then it's the boys' turn for a week into early June (baby can't come then!)
*I need to enroll the kids in swimming lessons
*Spencer finishes baseball the end of this month

June 1: We have a family reunion that I may or may not make it to (200mi away).
June 15: Kiley's dance recital is June 15 (also my dad's birthday).
June 20 & 22: Austin's & DH's birthdays
June 25: Baby DUE (and my grandpa's birthday)...but we shall see?

I wish I had some *fun* things planned, but it's all pretty mundane must-get-done stuff. VBS for my kids and then vacation aren't until July and August. I cannot wait for vacation! We are very past due for one and hopefully by then I'll be feeling pretty good.
