Ain’t that a kick in the face!

We’re looking ahead now.

With three months to go before someone looks up to me, there’s work to do. Our home is in pieces. There’s a sander in our bathroom and a box spring in our dining room. Our sofa is flanked by my computer on one side, and our bed on the other.

We’ve done this drill before, but this time it’s different. This time we’re getting old floors ready for the fresh patter of little feet. And as if to remind me, one of those miniature pediments kicked me in the face on Sunday.

There are times when I wonder if we can get it all done. Then our unborn child kicks me in the face and I realize: There’s no time to think about it … there’s too much left to do!
