Schizophrenic nesting

Well, the nesting urge has hit! Praise God and Hallelujah!!
I have a long list of things to do and am reminded what a scattered person I am as I have been trying to do stuff. Today I'm in the midst of making bread and pizza dough to freeze, but I've also been trying to let myself be pulled in a million other directions. I want to paint the wall in the baby's bedroom and do a couple loads of laundry and look for turkey recipes online and blah blah blah rather than doing what I've decided I need to do today.
This is why Flylady resonates with me so much. Left to my own devices, I not only multi-task, but multi-directionally multi-task leaving multiple things in multiple stages of completion.
So, today, I'm concentrating on doing my list even though my brain has figured out that it could have been much more efficiently compiled and constructed and wants to do the things on the mental list instead.
And maybe by this time next week, our child will have a momma pretty ready to welcome him into the world. I'll let y'all know...

Thinking of you as the delivery date nears. And lurking more often too!

Are you sure you should be painting? Be careful, mom!

BTW, in response to your question, my surgery will be at Pekin Hospital. Basically because Dr. H will do it regardless of which hospital, and if (GOD FORBID) something went wrong, it wouldn't matter at that point which place we were in, because there would be nothing they could do for the baby.

Oh, I won't actually paint, I just WANT to do it -- this is how crazy my brain is...
I'll be thinking about your surgery, Amy.
