The madness of nesting

"Nesting" is generally a term that is stamped on expectant mothers and their quest to prepare the "nest" for the baby's arrival. But I've got to say that men are just as bad. Shunning any semblance of fitness (Man boobs: ETA mid-2006 if I continue at my current level of weightlifting commitment and scheduling), I have been compelled to basically fix every single project in the home, inside and out. It literally eats up every Saturday and doing the unthinkable, I have eschewed NFL football for things like insulation and bagging leaves the past few weeks. My fantasy football teams have made that decision easier, but that's fodder for another blog.

I'm getting plenty done, but there's always something new. I figure I give the kid 3-6 months to get used to things like air and sunlight, then he or she will get a nice pair of work gloves so they can give me hand. Especially during mowing season.
