Anyone around?

I have 24 days left of work (Not including weekends or the Thanksgiving holiday) and I'm finding it very hard to find motivation.  Anyone here?

Re: Anyone around?

  • I'm here. You are so close!! That is so awesome that you only have 24 days left of work! I did the same thing when I was leaving work for our wedding, and I too found it very hard to do anything in those last few weeks. I love counting down, it makes it all seem so much closer to whatever it is you're counting down to. I have my countdown going on how many days left until T comes home and I am so freaking excited that in X days I'll be waking up next to him again!

  • Yayy Laura! That is great. Is it too soon for me to do a countdown for how many days I have to work before maternity leave? ;)

    Yvonne - how many days until Tony comes home??

  • You have an exciting countdown too!  I'm making my Christmas list right now.  We were going back and forth about purchasing gifts for family members considering we'll have our new addition by then, but I can't justify not doing gifts.  I can't have the bottom of my tree completely empty.  I'm searching pinterest for items I can make instead of purchasing really expensive items...so that should help cut down the cost.

  • I can't say the exact number due to OPSEC, but let's just say it's between 14 and 21. I'm excited!! :) 

    I think a countdown at any time is acceptable ;) but you have your exciting Disney one for right now and so soon! That is so much fun!

  • I'm using Krissy's Disney countdown for my 35/35 countdown.  We packed the baby's bag last night.  I still need to work on mine.  The car seat is ready to be placed in the car but we're holding off on that for a bit longer.  I have my work shower tomorrow after school so I made a list of items I still needed in case I get things I need to return.

  • Laura you are so, so close! Yay for bag packing, car seat installing, and showers! It is all so exciting I'm sure!

    I love Pinterest! Making gifts sounds like a great idea, plus I think for me it would help me focus some of my excitement/nervous energy/anticipation. That's what I'm doing now with my knitting, trying to channel all my energy into making stuff right now instead of going crazy with wait. I'm going to make these for gifts, the Santa hat for our baby niece Madelyn, and the scarf for my BFF and possibly one for my aunt too if I can get it done in time.

  • Yay! I know that feeling!!! I had it with the wedding and was starting to get there with Anndrew but cutting back to part time at 33 weeks actually increased my motivation slightly. I will admit that I don't feel guilty at all about the stuff I left unfinished.

    LOVE THIS!

    I'm around.  Just trying to get my little peanut to nap.  She doesn't seem to want to.  

    Laura - I can't believe you are so close!  It's really exciting.  You are way ahead of the game of where I was at that point in terms of hospital bag, etc being ready to go.  

    Well, I hear some crying so it looks like I'll be transitioning to the iPhone nest/bump surfing while feeding, fun times!

  • Laura - I can't believe how close you are to meeting your little boy! I'm so excited for you!

    I'm here. I do not want to be at work today. It's dreary and rainy and I'd much rather be at home in my sweats cuddling the new puppy.

    I blame my sister in law for getting me addicted to Words with Friends. She introduced me to it yesterday and now it's all I want to do!
