Surviving the Domestic Jungle

In my attempt to keep myself busy until delivery day, I am researching the city I live in and what there is to do for families. I lived in this city a long time ago when I was young, single and child free so the things I know of from those days are just not compatible with my life at this point. It is a great city for the young and I am finding out what a great city it is for us old, married parents! There is actually a lot to do here and also in surrounding areas. I think this weekend we are either going to go to the Science Museum or the Zoo or a dinosaur exhibit my sister in law was telling me about. Heck, maybe all three out of desperation to stay busy and active!! We have Monday off school so it should be a busy weekend. I wish I could go to my family ranch and relax but driving 2 hours away just doesn’t seem smart at this point! Although, the last time I went there, I ended up in the hospital in pre term labor so perhaps…….nah just kidding! Way too much stress to go through that again! I think I am going to clean out my closet and change my style after this baby. After each of my kids, I have revamped things a bit. Not too much because I have a very specific style but maybe it is time to add some flair to my wardrobe. People tell me I have a very “gap girl” style meaning pretty simple. I like solid colors and cotton!! Preppy about sums it up. I want to add some out of the ordinary pieces because as I get older, I am able to pull them off better. Maybe I’m ‘nesting’ if I feel like going through my closet. I guess it is either nesting or boredom. Either way, I am hoping to jam pack my week and weekend with activities to keep me sane and not obsessing over every contraction and cramp!!
