The return of…

my ENERGY.   It has been fantastic!  The past few months have been VERY difficult for me.  It felt so completely lazy, even though I knew it was just being pregnant.  I had energy throughout my entire pregnancy with Bryson, so it took me by surprise when this pregnancy turned out so differently.

One night I took it upon myself to clean out Bryson’s closet.  It was a mess and had bags of things to donate, things that shouldn’t have been there at all, and other miscellaneous stuff.  I was able to take nine bags and one box to Goodwill after all was said and done.

It may still look messy to some of you, but I can now find every single thing in it with not problems.  Our diaper stockpile is finally being built back up too!  We should have enough diapers for about six months.  I went through his toy chest and took out his “baby” toys.  I packed them up, so I can wash and clean them all before Baby #2 arrives.  I added a few new toys that I picked up with Bryson was staying with his Gangan.  He will be excited when he gets home & sees them.

This chest was actually my Pawpaw’s.  I had intended on painting it, but it fits in with the rustic theme of Bryson’s room and works so well as a toy box.  As you can tell, he LOVES trucks.  I bought a few new (to us) trucks this week.  I bought the Tonka Chuck Talking Truck for $8 and it is in like new condition.  I have wanted one of those for Bryson for months, but I couldn’t justify $30 on a talking truck.

I still have one closet to clean out, but I need to do it when Bryson isn’t around.  We will be going out of town this weekend for a family reunion, so it will have to wait another week.  I hope everyone has a great weekend!  We are going to visit family that we haven’t saw in years, some that I haven’t met in the six years hubs & I have been together.
