It wasn't too long ago when I was having a conversation with someone about how June was so far away........don't ask me who it was that I was having this conversation with because I have no idea. At the moment, I have pregnancy brain and can't for the life of me remember specific details like who I'm talking to or what I ate for breakfast. What I do remember is saying, "There's plenty of time to gut and renovate my bathrooms right now. Everything will be done WAY before June even gets here." Have I mentioned one should never listen to a pregnant woman? After all, pregnancy is a foggy and confusing place that not only makes you forget specific details, but also makes you lose all sorts of common sense. At least that's what happens to me because JUNE IS HERE AND GUESS WHAT!? I'm still knee deep in bathroom renovations!
I should have known that it was not a good idea for me to redo our bathrooms while pregnant. This is my third go at this pregnancy thing. I should know better! I also know that when I'm pregnant, I become very obsessive and completely emotional about the little things........including wall color. It's like I can't focus on anything else other than paint. I have way too many paint swatches in the house and they all consist of varying shades of gray. I never knew grey could be so versatile.
My husband finally forced me to buy the paint, just so I wouldn't change my mind again. Speaking of my poor husband, I can't seem to hold a normal conversation with him without mentioning floor tile, fixture finishes and toilets. Who knew a quiet flushing toilet could make me so happy? And let's not forget that inevitable an unpredictable situations always occur when you want something done ASAP. For instance, the bathroom doors are on back order so.......there's that.
Well folks, I'm pretty sure there's a noodle lesson in here somewhere. Maybe it's the fact that not much can be planned in life or that gutting and renovating a bathroom is just not an easy task. But maybe, just maybe, pregnancy and even a bathroom renovation in some way prepares you for motherhood. Unpredictable, forgetful and full of varying color swatches. Also, take my advice......don't renovate anything when you're pregnant. Just stop listening to that voice in your head. It will only cause trouble:)
