3:16am

What do normal people do when they can't sleep at 3:16am? Some people watch infomercials, others read. Me? I might never know what "normal people" do when they look at the clock at 3:16 and are sick of staring at the ceiling. Because I finally just realized that I'm not normal.
.
People like ME act like we're high on speed. We upload videos to our blogs.
.
And unload the dishwasher.

And do laundry.

And finish making the chicken stock that's been cooking in the crock pot all night.

And pour it all into nice, neat little ice cube trays for easy access.

And make a homemade chicken pot pie. Or two. With fresh green beans.

And were fully willing to make a homemade pie crust but didn't have enough flour, so decided to freeze them instead using the new freezing method in a recent blog post.

And put more chicken in the crock pot for dinner.

Then, people like ME will take pictures of everything and blog about it at 6:30am when there's nothing left to do and no one else is awake yet.
.
Because people like ME who wake up ever hour on the hour with contractions and are anxiously awaiting a call from the hospital to get induced to get this show on the road...well, we have a little too much on our minds to sit still.

Gee, Katie, nesting much?! I'm with you, though. I much prefer 'accomplishing things' in the middle of the night than being useless.

Two peas in a Type A pod, we are! :-)

You are a MACHINE!! Way to be productive. I love seeing life through your eyes. You are an amazing woman. I am excited for you to pop that new babino. You look absolutely beautiful. Congratulations in advance! I love you lots, Katie!!

Wow, you got a lot done. It shouldn't be much longer now.

Well done you. Hope this baby arrives real soon and you get some proper rest! (just joking) Waiting is the worst.

Hope you have some help lined up for Ryan and Kaylin so you can concentrate on the baby.

Reminds me of late October 2007 when Jeff woke to noises at 3:30 am and it was me vacuuming the van in the garage. You should have seen the look on his face after he put the baseball bat down. :) I delivered a week later.

Way to "ger er done", Katie - you may be the only woman I know who could have pulled off THIS much.

Hey, just because I have watched an infomercial or two, doesn't mean I am not productive in the wee hours! LOL

Last night at 2am I was browning the meat for our dinner the next day, cleaning and alcoholing the granite, tending to my virtual cafe (I know...it is dumb.)...and unloading my own dishwasher only to load it once more! LOL

I am not nesting however, so what is wrong with me? LOL

Have this baby tomorrow. It is a good day!

Love, the Maid
