In the last 24 hours, Kelly and I have:
Cooked a nice hamburger dinner.
Emptied two bookcases.
Moved one bookcase downstairs and one upstairs.
Placed close to a dozen boxes of books on our new shelves.
Moved those boxes to the garage.
Slept late.
Cooked a big breakfast.
Filled an empty bookcase with lots of pictures!
Set up the bassinet in our sitting room.
Installed the infant car seat in the car.
Danced with Hallie to Bob Dylan’s “Mr. Tamborine Man.”
Moved the sprinklers around the yard.
Unsuccessfully attempted to fix our leaky hose spool.
Burned three CDROMs of Fedora Core 2.
Wired up a new telephone line to our office.
Took out all the recycling.
Watched the N.C. State game.
Went shopping for holiday decorations.
Decorated the front porch for Halloween.
Cleaned a grease spot out of the carpet.
Vacuumed the house.
Cleaned the cat box.
Assembled a portable USB drive.
Crawled from one end of the attic to the other to fix ventilation.
Mapped out trusses to support flooring in the attic.
I’m sure I’m leaving something significant out, but that is a decent recap. Not a bad 24 hours, eh? Tomorrow, I finish the attic flooring job, upgrade Maestro, my server, and take a swing at some weekend work for a client.
It’s been fun getting these things checked off our list. Still got a bunch more to do before The Kid arrives.
Remember how dramatic your life changed with parenthood…what an oasis of time your pre-child life was?
Get ready…..
