Motivation

By far, the hardest part of this pregnancy so far is the lack of motivation I've had to get things done.  :P It's horrible because it's so not me! I don't know if it's from being so exhausted or what, but the last couple of months I've only been able to handle the bare minimum.  For example, I know the laundry has to get done, so I'll do it and dry it, but it may be sitting in the dryer for a couple of days before it gets folded and put away.  :( Or, all the leftover food gets put away in the frig, but doesn't necessarily get eaten and doesn't necessarily get thrown away, but instead turns into a science experiment (as Adam puts it, haha).  Oh boy! And, forget the deep cleaning, I'll wipe things down and make them appear clean, but that's about it.  I can't stand dust, and normally dust often, but that has been put off as well.  Papers have been piling up, things have not been put away in "their spot." I like to be organized, and I have not felt organized for the last couple of months.  After the kids go to bed, that is my time to craft and get things in my etsy shop.  I've had such a busy month, I believe I've had about 25 sales for May so far, but that hasn't been motivation enough to keep me working at night.  I try to make my items as they sale, so my shop stays full, but not a whole lot extra lately.  Instead, all I can handle is laying in bed and watching a movie before I fall asleep.  GAHHH! One thing I haven't lost motivation on is exercise.  Thankfully, I've been able to stay on top of that, but if it doesn't happen first thing in the morning, it doesn't happen at all that day.  I've been worried that I would never get my motivation back, but finally today, it has RETURNED!!! I have taken advantage of this and also taken advantage of my wonderful husband who took the whole day off of his catering work to help me get a head start.  He and the kids did a bunch of yard work, while I focused on cleaning the inside.  Mainly the bathrooms, blinds, vacuuming, mopping, dusting, laundry, AND cleaning the windows, (I did the inside and Adam did the outside).  Normally, I would be exhausted right now, but not so much.  I'm ready for more! It has felt GREAT, but is not even close to being done.  I hope tomorrow to tackle the frig...PLEASE say my motivation will not go away.  And right now, although it does sound good to go relax in front of a movie, I've got some bows I need to get packaged up and some more made.  Oh and that basket of laundry WILL get folded and put away before I go to bed.  Thank you very much!!!
