sunday (without the sun)
Today the rain was persistent and much like the clouds, my mood didn’t lift. I’ve got a looming editorial deadline which means the next few weeks will be spent at the computer, tapping away. Aside from this I had one of those days where I wished I could re-do the entire house. No amount of cleaning or rearranging left me satisfied. Blah!
My nesting eye has stepped up a notch this week too; dusty skirting boards are on my to-do list. I realise it sounds so utterly pathetic but the primal need to clean is getting more intense as this pregnancy goes on. Daniel is a little scared about what I might be like the week before baby is due to arrive. To tell you the truth, so am I.
Today I really felt like diving into Che’s imaginary solar system or perhaps the pastels hues of lisianthus. Tomorrow I hope I wake a little lighter. I’m off to drink tea and read my new book. A remedy if ever I knew one.

don't even get me started on this weekend. you put it eloquently, i just cuss.
I love that solar system painting. And I'm jealous of your nesting urge to clean. That particular pregnancy side effect never hit me. Oh to have clean skirting boards. x
i'm with ya on the re-do train. tonight i'm finally going to sit with my copy of keepsakes…thanks sweet lady. x.
i cleaned like a woman possessed ALL day. then watched it all be undone in the space of about half an hour…
totally. all of it.
All of this so reminds me of my pregnancies. Hope the cup of tea and reading helped!
As much as the nesting aspect of pregnancy drives many crazy, I look forward to being pregnant again, and feeling it. Dont get me wrong, my house is clean, but pregnancy made it sparkle!
I hope you feel brighter today,

Hi Jodi, thank you so much for stopping by my blog and leaving some words of support on my post. Every comment adds a little more comfort to the massive change I'm about to embark on… the kind of change that I think about as soon as I wake up each morning :o( But yes, supportive employers are magnificent.
So glad I have found your blog too, it's a beautiful space and I look forward to following the story from now on. Best of luck with the impending birth of number 2 bubs. Very exciting times xo
what a beautiful lovely blog Jodi, and a good way to spend an overcast day. Hope you start feeling a bit brighter… I wish I could give you some of my France sunshine.
p.s. I love the tablecloth beneath those fresh flowers, I have one just like it 🙂
Hope the cuppa and a good read worked wonders.

sending you big love and hugs and the cleaning/nesting fairies too!
I know where you're coming from…I have lots of those days! Hang in there, it will pass, and you'll forget about those dusty skirting boards. I just added that book to my wishlist, it sounds very inspiring. xx
I hope your journey through pastel lizzies and painterly planets lifted your spirits… Today is a new day…

Hey Jodi, hope you feel better! Thanks for the book reccomendation – I will definitely check it out!
Che painting is beautiful. I love the way children paint and draw uninhibited.Thank you for the food website referral too. The internet is a great source of recipes. I hope that the week ahead brings happier weather, winter has surely arrived and it's so cold. xo
Hey Jodi! Thank You for this book tip! I will definitely check it out!
Sunday with out the sun is no good at all. I know the feeling exactly about wanting to re-do the house completely I have that feeling on a regular basis : )

The painting is so special!
Have a great day!

Ha! Too funny…I threw out half of my wardrobe in my last week of pregnancy. Now I have a choice of maternity clothes, suits that are too big or evening gowns.
