I wrote the title of this post, and then started giggled and then cracking myself up some more by saying ‘not a good time to be feeling groovy’. Marmot thinks I’m an idiot by the way. The movie It’s Complicated? One of my all time favorites!

But things being complicated- but wow, things are really complicated right now! Not in a relationship sense like the movie- I mean in the whole life change sense. We’re trying to have a baby. The thought that a BABY is even a possibility is pretty cool, but I’m not too worried about the baby side of things right now. That will come in time I’m sure, but my life side of things? Oh wow.

Bottom line: I’m not even pregnant yet and I think nesting has struck.

Suddenly I’m cleaning out the spare bedroom and the basement with a vengeance, de-crapifying my house.  The back of Marmot’s truck and Goodwill don’t know what’s hit them. I want everything in our house streamlined. Decluttered. Nothing extra, and everything organized. EVERYTHING! And the Container Store motto has become mine: life IS more fun when you’re organized. Its even hit my office at work- I literally emptied my file cabinet onto my desk. It was a great idea in theory, but now I’m behind on work because I’m trying to find my desk!

During this time of life, one would think my mind would be filled with things like ”When would be the best time to test?’, or “Have I taken my prenatal vitamin today?”

But no. Whats on my mind is, “Why don’t have the dogs have matching collars?!’ {And no, I’m not joking, I actually said that outloud} ‘Why do we have so many flipping DVD’s, they get SO dusty?!’ and Marmot’s personal favorite, ‘Why don’t we have a TV on the wall, instead of a TV on a table that is SO much more awkward?! We could have a bigger TV on the wall, then I wouldn’t have to vacuum dog hair up off this one!!’

I am on a mission to organize my life. What has come over me?!

    Haha, I get this way sometimes. I definitely got that way when we were moving. I got rid of everything that we didn’t need or use. You should have seen the piles of stuff we had stacked up to go to charity.

    Good luck with the nesting! :)

    girl I’m in the SAME boat right now. I would swear I’m nesting. I have been on a cleaning SPREE since after christmas. I cannot stop cleaning/organizing. It’s INSANE. Oh, for our DVD’s I bought a CD wallet/book thing that holds a ton and then threw away the cases. So much clutter GONE!! :)

    Probably a combination of nesting and new year’s. I always feel the need to declutter around New Years. We must be programmed. But if you’re like me then the nesting aspect is trying to get things that you can take care of done. It is to soon to paint and buy baby furniture, but you can clean and streamline.
