Nudges

I'm feeling constant nudges lately.

Nudges to get stuff done and complete projects I've been working on for some time. Casey & I have been in organizing mode and have gone through every closet and pitched things we don't need (which, I admit, he is much better at doing). I have a slight issue with being a packrat. I wonder if I will ever need the item I am throwing out. So my rule of thumb is if I haven't used it in 1 year (or 2 years if I'm really attached), then the item can go.

I am also feeling nudges in the middle of the night. I wonder if this baby will be born with a walking stick. At night, it feels like he is hiking Mt. Everest and poking and prodding everything along the way, as if to say, "Mommy, mommy, look what I found!" He sure wants me to be awake for the entire journey. When I finally fall asleep, I am nudged again, but this time it's by Casey. Apparently I have developed a tremendous snore. Casey says it would even put a drunken 60 yr. old's snore to shame. I have been reassured that this will go away after the baby comes, but for now, Casey isn't getting the greatest sleep either.

Nudges to get the house clean. Heck, I'm even cleaning things that are already clean! I have this horrible compulsiveness right now to go, go, go... Ah, the joys of nesting... a little bit obsessive and crazy.
