I Think I'm Alone Now

I have been at home alone for the past 4 days.  I normally HATE it when Josh is gone and I am stuck at home.  Not to mention that Josh took our only car and I was really stuck at home as it is too hot to walk anywhere. While Josh was enjoying the All-Star Game and the surrounding festivities, I got a lot of things done. Here is a short list of things I did.

• Revamped the bathroom with new navy accents.  I added a polka dot stripe to our shower curtain, made a soap dispenser, and decorated some hand towels to match.  It looks great. It makes our bathroom not look so white.
• I prepared all our cloth baby diapers for use.  I plan on doing a post about this so that is all I will say for now. 
• I cleaned the bedroom. 
• I finished the baby's room.  I am also going to do a post on this. more to come. 
• I made some more baby gifts for my pregnant friends.  This was fun. 
• Did some all around crafting while I could spread out and not worry about getting in Josh's way. 
• Hung out with some friends and talked about babies, life, and good movies.  I had a good time with everyone coming over to see me.  We don't have people over at our house very often and it was fun to show everyone the baby's room. 
• I watched the entire series of 'The Event".  It was not horrible but I wouldn't run and rent it. It was good company while I did other things. Any cheesy sci-fi series works well for me.  I currently have on "Persons Unknown" which is fulfilling my need for some noise in the house. 
• I attempted to create my own wool dyer balls like these.  But it was an epic fail.  I tried 3 times using 2 different tutorials so I think I will just buy them.  I might try one more time for my wallet's sake.
• Took lots of naps. LOTS 

I surprisingly had a good time while Josh was away. I think it helped that I felt like this might be the only time I have left to be alone for any stretch of time.  I spent a lot of time thinking about how different it will be when the baby gets here and will constantly be attached to me. I know that I will take time off when we get a babysitter or Josh takes the kid somewhere for a few hours.  I also know that our life is going to be drastically different in 4 weeks (or less) in ways that I cannot even imagine. I am looking forward to that.

I am so thankful for the past 5 years I have had with Josh when it was just him and I. I am also thankful for the little person we are about to welcome into out home. I am sure our lives will never be the same. I am also glad he is home now.
 It was getting a little lonely.
