Finding tasks other than the ones that need to be done is a skill I have mastered. With the days remaining until the arrival of Gabriella settling into the double-digits I have stepped up my efforts to do everything but what needs to get done. Painting the room becomes reading a book, finishing the dresser becomes fiddling with the server, and steam cleaning the carpets becomes chopping wood. Hell, I have even begun throwing myself into the daily chores like washing the dishes and vacuuming as a means to avoid those Operation Baby Prep® tasks, something that is very contrarian. something tells me that if I stay the course I’ll be coaching Management through her labor with a paint roller in one hand and a steam cleaner in the other.
