Relaxing is over

Time to get to work.
We spent the better part of our evening getting her room ready. Eddie sanded the crib and I said good bye to some lovely shoes. We felt it necessary for some of them to go- you know, so Elvis will have a place to call her own.
It's crazy the enormous amount of shoes I have, I mean really. Getting ready for this baby, I don't know if it's the hormones or what but I'm even looking at them thinking "what the hell was I thinking?". I have WAY too many shoes... alright, there's no such thing as too many but seriously I have a problem. A problem that seems to be checking itself during this pregnancy. I am being ruthless, just chucking stuff left and right. If I don't use it or need it- it's out. We have a big house but there's no room for extra stuff now that we are moving in the fourth human, along with our two dogs, two cats and walking sticks. It's just common sense I think to get rid of some things. Will I regret getting rid of anything after the birth? Probably not. I'm not big on regret. I try to teach Q to get rid of things he doesn't need or use- I try to teach him that we don't "love" things, they're just things... he's getting there. But it's true, things are just things... if I had to grab anything from my house besides my people and animals- I can't imagine what I would take... my hard drive? Or maybe my wedding video, yeah, I'd grab that. It's only three minutes long but it's hilarious.
