trying to be patient

this bed rest thing has really put a crimp in my plans. Today was supposed to be my first day back at school (summer vacation is over) but here I am, on the couch. I think the thing that is driving crazy over everything else is the fact that my house is disgusting and there is nothing I can do about it. I have to sit and look at the filth and just think about cleaning it. I have a husband that is trying to help. He did all the laundry this weekend and emptied the dishwasher. There is just so much more that needs to be done. Errands to be run, clothes to be put away, vacuuming, dusting, bathrooms that need to be cleaned, etc. I am really trying to be patient. I think he did agree to get a someone to come in and clean while I am down for the count. Can't wait for that! Is it sad that I am excited for a cleaning lady to come? Like really excited!?

I did have two showers to attend this weekend. My sister had a baby shower on Saturday. She is due really soon (like 11 days!) and she is still so tiny. We are all thinking she is going to be late. It would be funny if we had the babies within days of each other instead of 6 weeks. I did attend the shower but I didn't go till later. It took her 2.5 hours to open presents. Craziness! This was her 4th shower too! Where to put it all?! Sunday was my sister-in-law's bridal shower. She is getting married on the 16th of August. I went to that one for a while too. I got lectured for going to both but to me I was more relaxed at the showers than I was at home. I got to sit with my feet up and not have to worry about anything (and I didn't have to look at filth!).

Since I am not up taking pitcures of anything and I haven't been crafting I will end with some vintage pictures of things I wish I was doing right now...
