The Odd Couple
Remember that movie? Well call me Oscar Madison and Jeremy is Felix Unger. Apparently, according to Jeremy/Felix, I have a problem with clutter. I'm really a clean person. I just like paperwork and have a hard time throwing any of it away. I don't even think it's an issue until every few months, out of the blue, I see Jeremy walking around the apartment with a huge trash bag. Of course I take the bag away from him and tell him to leave my stuff alone. I don't know why I can't seem to keep piles of papers off of my desk.
I even try to organize it all but its back within days. I once saw a Dr. Phil where a wife had a problem with her husband's paperwork. He took a file box with him on business trips that contained all of his financial paperwork. I'm not THAT bad, yet. The compromise for that couple was he got his own room in which he could keep piles of all his papers anywhere he wants but if a single scrap of paper was seen outside of that room his wife had permission to throw it away. Well, that's not an option for us in our 2 bedroom apartment. We do have a walk in closet in our bedroom, maybe I could make that my little paperwork central. Actually, that sounds like a great idea. My own little hideaway. I don't even think Emily would think to look for me in there, haha.
Speaking of Emily...
Today we visited one of my friends from our Born in March board. She has two kids. Her son, Jackson, is Emily's age and her daughter, Evie, is 1 year old. Jackson had an appointment to go to so Evie, Emily and I had a lot of time together to play. Seeing Emily play with Evie was so much fun. It also made me think of how much I want to be pregnant and have a sibling for Emily to play with. They were just so cute together!! Emily kept trying to give Evie hugs and gently patted her. Emily was really possessive with a pinwheel but when I told her she had to share with the baby, she would hand it to Evie and say, "Here you go, this is for you." Evie would take and Emily would then say, "Thank you!" Reminding Evie to thank her. The phone rang a couple of times and both girls would hold imginary phones to their ears and shout, "Hello????" I loved it!!
Jeremy's Parents are visiting.
Tomorrow Jeremy's parents will be visiting for the day. I'm really looking forward to seeing them because it has been a while since we've seen them. I think they'll be shocked at how much Emily has grown and how much she is saying now. I really like my IL's. I get along really well with Jeremy's mother and his dad is so nice. Really good people. Jeremy's parents are a lot more low key as grandparents compared to my parents. Mostly because there are a lot of grandchildren in their family and they are used to it. Emily is my parents' only grandchild and you definitely can tell when you see them all together. Actually you can tell when you visit my parents' house, complete with a nursery filled with baby furniture, including a crib that Emiliy refuses to sleep in. Not to mention all of the toys throughout their house. Anyhow, I can't wait till tomorrow.
With that said I should probably end this entry and deal with the clutter on my desk. I think I see Jeremy looking for a trash bag as I type :P
