Things I KNOW I will not care about in three weeks

Okay, so I have noticed some things on which I am spending ridiculous amounts of energy or time. When I notice this, I am also immediately realizing they are things I will not do and/or even remotely care about once BBP has joined us on the outside.

#1 - I specifially ordered the dishwasher baskets with orange and green accent colors. Babies R Us sent ones with pink accent colors...the nerve!!

#2 - Please note how neatly folded all BBPs clothing items are in these drawers. If I am still functioning and not so tired I have forgotten how to use the internet, I will have to repost pictures of these drawers when he is three or so weeks old. I guarantee there is NO way they will remain looking like this beyond a few days.




#3 - Why I have a stack of paper* that moves from my desk, to the top of the printer, to the floor several times each week, rather than taking the less than 15 minutes it would take to put it all away!?!?

*said stack is such an embarassment that photo evidence could not be included

I was lamenting over #1 to a friend the other day, and she described a time when she would soak her bibs in OxyClean to get the stains out rather than just letting it go. At some point, she said, she just realized how much time and OxyClean she was using on something that completely did not matter. This makes me laugh, and at the same time, makes me realize this list will not end anytime soon. I am realizing I am going to have to work hard to keep my OCD tendencies in check and realize what's important and what isn't.
