nesting

I have had a serious nesting day...when pregnant women have the urge to spring clean everything...hence why i am still awake at 12:56am.

I have also had a day surrounded by the LORD's little creatures...insects. This usually happens when the weather is hot, everything tries to crawl inside our cool house.

Firstly, a dragonfly with a broken wing, I tried to entice it on to a paper towel, but it wouldn't budge so I left it on my window. But tonite it succumbed and Myles had to put it out of it's misery...that was sad. I set a christmas beetle and slug free and a rather large huntsman spider. The spider crawled in as i opened the patio door to put the slug out. So I chased it back out with a piece of paper and then a moth flew in :-)

I try not to kill anything i find, preferring to chase it back outside...unless they refuse to cooperate. I had to squat a fly because it landed on caleb's portacot. I tried chasing it away but it just sat there. So my over-protective motherly instincts kicked in...that's caleb's playpen. I made sure not to squash it, but still sterilised the spot.

So apart from the creatures, I have cleaned, emptied out all my linen to be washed and packed till next winter, mopped my bedroom floor, rearranged my bedroom, packed things into the garage, did all the dishes (which the boys are meant to do on weekends), and now I feel like making baby food to be frozen for caleb.

Come tomorrow i will be too tired to do anything...oh well, better to make the most of these moments :-)
