The perfect start!

Ok so the day is getting closer to my sons arrival.  And most days I find myself wanting to do nothing but sleep, even knowing that I have about a million things to get done.  So I sleep in whenever I get a chance and usually have just enough time each day to do the normal chores and nothing more.  Today for the first time I feel like I might actually get something else done!  All the thanks in the world goes to my husband who in a weird burst of energy tidied up basically the whole house last night before coming to bed! ( I was already asleep before my head even hit the pillow).  And oddly enough he started out his day at the crack of dawn, he made heroic efforts to let both me and our daughter sleep in as long as we liked.  Unfortunately for me, my daughter decided to wake up at 6am.  Now usually this wouldn't be a problem because she would crawl into bed with me and quietly watch tv till a more reasonable hour, but this time so was so full of energy that she couldn't sit still and even if she could for some reason I could not go back to sleep.  So, we got up said goodbye to Greg as he left for work and I looked around to realize I have no clue what to do with myself!  Usually I get up and spend an hour or so bringing dishes from the night before to the kitchen, picking up garbage, picking up toys, picking up laundry, and generally tidying the whole house before I can even think about eating or doing the normal chores.  My house is basically clean!  At the very least it's the most tidy it's been in months and I didn't have to do a thing!  So all the normal chores I'd have to do are gonna take me half the time! Yes there is still the normal loads of laundry to do but that doesn't bother me at all and the dishes needed to be put in the dish washer but I did that while I was waiting for my coffee to get done... I feel almost lost without the usual mess to deal with.  But at the same time I am so thankful for the space to breathe.  So now what do I do?  Of course start the laundry, but past that and maybe sweeping the floor, I think I need to find my list of things I never have time for!  So in short, thank you to my wonderful husband, (and his sudden burst of energy) for giving me a wonderful start to this week!
