Getting your ducks in a row

There is this weird part of life where you suddenly realize you need to get everything in order and settled. I always thought this was something that happened to old people who were preparing to die. Hahaha....For the first time in my life, I was wrong.

Since having Ben (maybe even started when I was pregnant), I have felt this need for order. My brain never shuts off to this constant desire to get our life in order and settled so we can provide the best life possible for our family. Its exhausting. But, I think we are finally there. We have a plan, a budget and a baby. Can't really get much better, can it?? Well, until baby #2 (Yes, I know Ben is only 7 months old, but it does not hurt to plan).

Anyway, I guess the point of this all is that getting your ducks in a row is not just for old people before they "get rolled out feet first" (to quote my mom) it is for those of us who cannot turn their brains off.
