Justin Bieber

Is it just me or do you ever have those mornings when you wake up energized and sure you're going to save the world?  I mean, not literally save the world, of course, but energized enough that you feel confident you can do anything...  And just picturing yourself accomplishing these millions of things that are running through your head makes you happy and that much more confident that you really can get it all done.  There's been plenty of days I've woken up and truly believed I was going to sew curtains (even though I don't own a sewing machine), bake like three pies, clean out my garage, read a good book, plant a garden, wash my car and then get a week's worth of dinners made and
into the freezer. 

And then, it never fails...just about the time my husband walks in the door for the evening, I'm halfway through my first pie and most of the time I break down and sob or something pathetic like that...  Anyone feeling me on this?  Anyone?  I have completely digressed, but the point is: today was one of those days.

I woke up firmly believing I was going to spring clean my entire house, floor to ceiling; clean out my pantries and closets, sort through all my clothes and make a goodwill run, flip my mattresses, etc.  Well, I'll just put it this way:  after a number of circumstances kept me from even starting my projects til 2pm, I found myself barely getting through making a batch of muffins, loading the dishwasher and wiping off my kitchen counters, AND I WAS DONE.  I felt like I had just pushed a big-rig over the grapevine and the only thing going through my mind was "Maid Service, please."  And to top it off, the muffins tasted like dirt.  Yes, just one of those days...

On a much happier note though, our baby boy is healthy and growing!! ... and so am I.  Let's just say, this could get real comical before it's all over folks.  But the important thing is that our boy is healthy and whole and growing every day:)   We've been blessed by amazing friends and family who have showered us generously during this season.  We really could not be more thankful, humbled, and genuinely grateful for so much support.  We are blessed.  We can not believe that we only have about 11 more weeks to go...  holy cow.  We're so excited and ready for him to be here but also kind of freaking out that he will be here in just about two more months... whoa.  And with that, can someone please get me a bowl of ice cream?!?!

The Christenson household is anything but boring these days.  We've got a lot of stuff on the burner right now, but I'll save that for another post.  And yes, that's a shameless plug, begging you to keep reading my blog.

And last but not least, I know this is random, but can someone please tell me who this Justin Bieber kid is?  I feel so totally old.
