Try to step back and put it all in perspective. What things on your wish list do you absolutely HAVE to get done? What things must you do before your son arrives to make sure the home that he and Punk share with you will be safe? Take care of those things first. Get the basics down. If he sleeps in a bassinet in your room for a couple months, it won't hurt him. If you need to do just one cleaning chore each night, then focus on only that one and ignore the rest of the list. Use paper plates and plasticware for a little while if not dealing with dishes will mean that you have the energy to do something more important. Arrange a playdate for Punk, maybe even overnight at a nearby friend, so you and Kieron can get Punk's new bed squared away. If you need to ask friends to come help you haul guest room furniture into the basement, give a shout and see who answers, you might be surprised that people you didn't expect to have free time to help out. Hell, if you're really desperate and have a friend who's not employed right now, make a bargain; you feed him/her or pay a small amount and he/she does some of the stuff that you're too tired to do.

Seriously, in the end, what matters right here and right now is that you and your family all make it to the finish line (the birth of your son) alive and healthy. So focus on only the thing that you need to make that goal.

Let the rest of it go, and just breath.

I'll talk to Halleyscomet and see if we can arrange for one or the other of us to make a Bonzai run up and back to NoHo some weekend soon.
