Feeling Overwhelmed

Summer for teachers is supposed to be fun and relaxing, right? Wrong! 

Yesterday for some reason it hit me that I have about a billion things to do before the end of summer and before these babies come.  I was just sitting on the couch watching some t.v. thinking about all what I need to get done and soon after I found myself crying! I'm not a person that usually cries all that often, so I am going to partially blame the crazy pregnancy hormones. 

Here are a few things from my to do list for the summer:

• Get the basement finished (it flooded a year ago April and now just needs paint, carpet, doors, and baseboards).
• Clear out my "office" that will soon be the nursery (BUT, I have nowhere to put the stuff that's in there until the basement is finished!!)
• Touch up the walls in the nursery.... its already a nice color so we don't want to re-paint
• Buy EVERYTHING that we need for the nursery... 2 cribs (we did some research and some say that twins sleeping together have a higher risk for SIDS) changing table, bedding, rocking chair/glider, etc.
• Ask my mom super nice if she will sew some curtains (once we know what theme we want to go with)
• Figure out what birthing classes/breastfeeding classes Brian and I want to take
• Register for the classes
• Take the classes!
• Clean the house
• Organize the house and have a garage sale
• Do some yard work (my lawn looks terrible!) and tend to the vegetable garden
• Plan two trips back to Minnesota (one for a wedding and one for a baby shower!)
• Complete the final class for my Master's Degree so I can make more $$ teaching next year
• Last but not least, HAVE FUN!!! =D

I have to admit that I did feel much better yesterday after I cried, but that still didn't really shorten my list to do.  I guess I am just the type of person that if I get super overwhelmed instead of doing something about it, I just shut down and cannot do anything.

As a request from my sister, here is another picture of my belly! (And my messy bathroom... lol)

Urza and Luna

So some of you may be wondering why I chose urzaandluna.blogspot.com for my blog address... Well, here it is! Urza is my dog and Luna is my cat.  Here are some silly pictures of them!

Luna likes to sit on top of the couch so that when Urza comes to growl at her she can attempt to scratch his face.

When she gets tired of playing with the dog, she goes and sits in her bed that is full of cat nip!

When Urza has enough with the cat, he finds boxes and other random things to chew into a million pieces.... and then falls asleep.  At least it wasn't my shoes this time! =)
