Oh, thank goodness for Fridays. :)
They're my favorite day of the week really. The end of the work-week, with two days of non-work (at least, ideally) ahead of me.
I have to admit, as much as I love the little ones I teach and care for (and I do!), I am feeling very relieved to see the end of Friday this week.
I've been so distracted with our life this week, that I feel sort of torn in two directions- caring for our home/preparing for baby/taking care of the "Murphy's Law" situations/trying to keep up on the housework as my energy level starts to fade, and caring for/teaching/really being here and present for the kids I care for.
I feel, in a word, DISTRACTED.
I'm not sure if it's nesting, hormones, or what, but my mind goes 90 miles an hour while my now third trimester belly, body, and poor swollen feet seem to only be able to go about 45. :)
Plus, my mind seems like it's going in a million different directions- I get all these ideas for things I want to do/get done, and I just can't keep up.
For example, last night- as I was waiting for my pictures to be developed- roaming the Wal-Mart aisles, I found myself in the baby section (DANGEROUS!!!).
As I looked at the bedding and blankets I remembered one of my favorite baby gifts we've been given so far- homemade cloth wipes. They are so cute! I decided to buy what I needed to make some too- I had originally planned on using baby washcloths sewn together (which would work just fine too), but the washcloths I bought are not, shall we say, "cute". So, yet another idea was "born" that we'll see if I'll be able to accomplish.
Anyway, I am glad it's Friday today, and that the weekend is fast approaching.
I need some time to focus a little closer to "home". :)

I'm so glad you like the wipes! Good luck making them....I absolutely love mine. If you need directions let me know!
I totally know what you mean by being distracted. We've got an extended family situation that's been taking over ALL my time this week, and I haven't got anything else done. Plus, I get full time babysitting kids back next week. Aarg.
