90 Days Remaining

Well, it's been over a week since I last posted. I'm off to a bad start it would seem. But am I really? I have been making progress.

We've worked on the house some more. Got more painting done. Carpet has been ordered. First Tile order should be coming in this weekend. See? Moving right along.

I've also been calling child care places and getting some info. And I think we've narrowed down our search. However, no decision has been made yet. However, I will say this... The price of day care? I-YEA-YIA! It is a little more than I expected for the area we're looking. But my poor dh. He wasn't expecting anything as pricey. Very eye opening for sure.

So was my maternity leave I think. But I've researched this and not only marked it all down, I've color coded the weeks so that dh knows exactly what weeks fall into what catagory. Who knew that taking maternity leave was going to be such a challenge to figure out. Certainly not I. And I'm still not finished. I still have forms to print out and fill out and have the doctor fill out. But I do think I finally understand how the leave and different forms of pay work. It took some digging, but whew, it's done.

A new item has popped it's head up and put itself on my radar screen. Food. As in meals for us to eat when we come home with the little bambino. I'm not going to feel like cooking, and I can see us getting tired of quick fix meals the dh can throw together. So now I'm on the look out for meals I can prepare ahead of time and freeze.

I've also started knitting the baby blanket. It's moving right along. I have to say, so far I'm really impressed with it. The yarn is super soft and I'm far enough along you can start to see the design coming together. Very cool indeed. Not to mention it's knitting up a lot faster than I thought it would at first. It's been really fun to knit so far. In fact, I can't wait to get home and knit more on it.

On the writing front, still not too much progress here. I have to get with it though. My goal in this 100 day challenge is to have three stories subbed. And my strrreeeettttccchh goal is four subs.

I have 90 days remaining to make this all happen. I have got to get with it.

I can do this.
