Planner/Calendar Nazi-Missing!?

(Holynd at the Living Planet Aquarium)


When I was going to school I had a planner. I kept it with me at all times. My life was in that planner. School, pregnancy, family, church etc. all went into that little cheap planner. But, most importantly, my "countdowns" went into that planner. (I also wrote in when the full moon was supposed to come around during my pregnancy with Holynd. Apparently, the full moon is supposed to bring on labor... Never did.)

I was so paranoid about NOT procrastinating that I would write in "countdowns" before big dates. Things like "6 weeks until Final Project-Econ 4010", "Only 5 more class lectures until Final-Econ 3610", "45 days until Midterm-Econ 2300"... you get the idea.

I also kept lists in my planner of the people I would need Matt to email or call if for some reason I went into labor before the semester was over.

The point is: I'm a planner/calendar nazi.

About 4 weeks ago, my hormones triggered the planner/calendar nazi into overdrive. Since I no longer have school, I was making lists for everything else; lists of things that needed to be cleaned and time lines for those cleanings, lists of things Matt needed to do, hospital bag lists, Holynd's "G-Ma Bag" list... etc etc.

Then, the planner/calendar nazi took a vacation.

She has yet to return.

Today I noticed my ticker states: 60 days until my Due Date, and because of my last doctor's appointment, I know that the baby IS coming in 60 days or less.

Even more dramatic is the fact that I received a forewarning of going before my due date from my doctor and I still have little motivation to tackle any of those lists.

Baby-Ne will be full-term on June 6th. There's a full moon on June 26th and my induction is scheduled June 27th.

If you find the my inner-planner/calendar nazi... send her my way.

For now, Holynd and I will return to making chocolate-dipped strawberries, Rice Krispies, hanging out at the playground on good-weather days and staying inside coloring on bad-weather days. Maybe we'll fold a basket of laundry and clean the bathrooms once in awhile too. We may even attempt the zoo too, if Dad will take us :).

OH! PS! Aunt Twitch went to prom. YAY!

This was "the ride".

Is Aunt Twitch cool or what!?
We would also like to acknowledge the fact that Aunt-T is in Disneyworld without us... We (sniff) hope you (sniff) have fun (tear) without us!
