Weekend anxiety

This weekend is sad and exciting for me and I'm not wanting it to come but then again I do. Josh leaves tomorrow for Oklahoma for a conference and meeting and will be gone until Friday, April 10th. That's 6 nights and 7 days!!! I'm sooo dreading it! However, my mom is coming to pick me up and take me w/ her to Texarkana to stay tomorrow night and go to a lingerie shower for my dr.'s youngest daughter tomorrow afternoon and then us "goof," as mom calls it, all the rest of the day. I am also excited because I have MY FIRST BABY SHOWER THIS SUNDAY! Yeah!! The lovely ladies of my sorority, Phi Mu, are hosting me a shower Sunday afternoon here on campus and mom and mammy are coming with me too. It's gonna be soo fun! Full of Pink, lions, and all things girly! Can't wait!!


I am having LOADS of anxiety these days. I am, as my mom said, "Nesting" and I feel like I am not accomplishing ANYTHING every day. The house seems to never been clean enough, the nursery is in disarray, the guest room looks like a storage building, the nursery closet doesn't have the organizers I want in it b/c we haven't bought them, Josh is leaving for 6 nights and 7 days, work is crazy (full-time job), Bizzy Bs is closed for orders but is still piled up w/ 6 un-finished orders, I've not sewn anything for Shelby but the 3 onesies and some bows, I've not finished crocheting her baby blankie, I'm having to count my calorie intake every day, I'm worried about having to take that stupid 1 hr glucose test again fearful that I'll be 140 still and they'll make me take the 3 hour test, worried that no one will come to my Phi Mu shower because the invites were just sent out a week ago, and on and on... I AM OVERWHELMED TO THE MAX!!! OH and I'm dreading Easter b/c I now regret the dress we bought b/c I'll look like an elephant in it. I refer to the dress as my "Easter Tent." I just feel like I've got sooo much anxiety built up and NONE of it is wanting Shelby to come any sooner. I need her to take her time. I am SICK of being asked or told, "I bet you're ready to have that baby." Umm, actually, I'm farther than anything from that idea. I want her to stay nice and comfy, even though I'm not, as long as she can so I can get SOMETHING accomplished. I know I'm driving Josh crazy so I don't even mention anything. I just try to pretend it'll all get done itself. He's so busy w/ work and traveling I'm not sure it will though. PLUS, we've got the Blossom Festival that Josh is head-steak-cooker for SAU again for and it's the 3rd weekend in May so I can only imagine how "peppy" and "polite" I'll be in the heat on black asphalt near a flaming grill by then.
Just pray for me... haha.. I feel like my brain is on "creative-overload" and never slows down. I told Josh last night, "I feel like I'm going crazy." I truly think I am...
~God bless,

Hang in there! Try to relax and realize you can only get so much done. I remember when I was pregnant with each of my kids how much I wasnted to get done for them before they arrived and I never got everything done and some things still aren't done!! haha! My daughter just turned 2 and I still don't have anything sewn for her room (valences & bed skirt), but it's not hurting her!! Welcome to motherhood.....you will always have too many things to accomplish and will realize it will get done when it gets done!!
