Driven to Distraction

Lately I've been thinking about lots of things, none of which have to do with the fact that I'm going to be a mother of two in about four months. This is nothing new really. Right before going into induce labor for Jacob, I became obsessed with getting our house professionally cleaned and a video camera. Two years later I can't even find the charge cord for our video camera, and yesterday I let Jacob eat a dropped piece of toast w/cheese off our dining room floor (to be fair, I had just Swiffered).

It is much easier to focus on the little things that aren't necessarily relevant, than the BIG things coming our way. And 2 little kids is a VERY BIG THING. However, I don't think that this is a really bad thing. Then again, I've let my child eat food off the floor. I think that this can be a useful tool, especially since I am more aware know that this is just a tool, and I don't really need that thing that I'm obsessed with.

What BIG THING are you avoiding? Here are some things that are helping me get through my upcoming BIG THING:

1. I need a car with room enough to fit a BOB Duallie Jogger
2. Did Ed really cheat on Jillian from The Bachelorette?
3. I need a dishwasher
4. I need a new kitchen to match the dishwasher
5. My garage is a mess
6. My front door needs painting and weatherization
7. Who did let the dogs out? Who? Who?
8. Will Jacob ever stop saying "Say Please" instead of "Please"?
