Labour Pains
I say, dearest. Do you remember back in 2008 when our living room was that horrible grey color?
With that ghastly modern art on the walls…
Then there was that lovely spring weekend we spent repainting it a different horrible grey color…
and you insisted on painting one wall with the blood of our defeated enemies…
No, me neither. But for some reason my arms are really tired.
p.s. The title of the post? Monday was Labour Day, a national holiday. It took a three-day weekend to get the project completed. Yes, we’re nesting. You should see the to-do list.

I think it’s really important to have an unmanagable to-do list as you expect the arrival of your first child, and even more important to have something horribly messy unfinished as he or she arrives. Puts mom in a great mood, and gives her something to rail at when the kid doesn’t show up for two weeks after the due date. Good luck.
