Nesting?
Posted by Shanna Remke on Tuesday, August 16, 2011
Is it nesting? Judge for yourself. These are the things that get me really excited these days:
-purging 15 items from every room
-rearranging our office/guest room
-painting the back and front doors
-adding a knocker to our front door
-replacing out front door lock and handle
-building a bookshelf/storage unit for the baby's room (out of reclaimed wood, of course)
-making homemade, non-toxic cleaning supplies
-cleaning out the garage and planning it's eventual conversion to a den
Regardless of where it's coming from, I am very thankful for the additional energy. Where as previous weeks found me exhausted after only a couple hours of errands or cleaning, I am now back to packing as much into every day as possible.
Dan has been sweetly accommodating my nesting needs. He even helped me when I decided late Saturday night that the nursery was not organized and needed attention pronto. I fully expected him to go off and do his own thing while I sorted items, but he was right there working along side me and never once even hinted about how odd it was that I just HAD to drop everything that second and organize the room at 10pm. He does complain that I keep handing him more projects before he is able to finish the ones I've already put on his list. ;) But he's a handy-man at heart and enjoys the projects (for the most part). And whether he'll admit it or not, I think the nesting bug has bit him, too.
