Slacker...

So as you can see this post is called Slacker...someone else brought this to my attention today too that I hadn't posted for awhile so Tami this is for you.... :)

This is true in a lot of aspects of my life currently. I am currently super tired. I have been pregnant 5 times mind you, but nothing compares to this pregnancy. I feel ready for bed the minute I wake up. I seriously have to try to talk myself into things just to get rewarded. I tell myself, ok if you do 3 things then you can sit down and veg or in my case, fall asleep. I sit, and within minutes I am sound asleep. You wanna hear something horrible? Tonight, before Aaron got home from work, Eben fell down the last two stairs to the basement and he whimpered not cried, but I didn't get up to make sure he was ok. I sat there feeling so guilty but so physically exhausted I couldn't move. Sad huh?
I hate feeling like this. I feel great other than this. I have only had a couple of occasions of nausea but nothing major, the only thing is the fatigue which is kicking my butt.

I have so much to do and no energy to do it. This is where I wish I had a maid or a chef, that would rock. I feel like everything is falling apart around me, I feel like my house isn't as clean as I want, the laundry needs to be done, my floors need to be mopped, and I feel too overwhelmed, I'm very emotional and on the verge of tears 98% of the time...lucky me huh?

So as I mentioned I got a fabulous new camera for Christmas from my hubby which I love, but as you can see still no pictures, well we cant find the cable that connects to the camera and then to the computer to download the pictures, which makes me so mad. It was just on the computer desk the other day, but now....no where to be found. So...now I have to go buy a new cable. Lucky me huh? I have a ton of great pictures I cant wait to share. I need to get it working because I have a Birthday girl this week and I need to post her Birthday pictures. I cant believe my little Carys is going to be 6 on Wednesday. It just seems like yesterday I had her.

I promise to do better at posting, but trust me to type means energy...and we've covered this right? So you will just have to take what you can get ok? LOL

Here's to wishing I had vivarin, in an IV of course.

Ah, fatigue... The pregnancy side effect I remember being okay doing without. But your 5th pregnancy... Doesn't your body have it figured out yet? :) Thanks for updating! Let me know if I can ever be of use as a "magical cleaning fairy" because gosh I love to clean!

Kristen, Please don't be so hard on yourself.I'm sure you're doing far more than others would in your situation. As the scriptures say, "and this too shall pass..." probably not referring to your fatigue, but I use it often when refering to difficult times. Remember not to run faster than you can and be kind to yourself; you're an incredible wife, mother, etc., etc., Love you, Peggy

I feel you! I am SOOOOOO tired all the time. It's a struggle to find motivation to do anything. I'm sure you're doing more than your fair share! You are a great mom and wife. Just remember you're a full time baby making machine, even when you're resting you are WORKING!

Listen Kristen, you have 4 other kids, pregnant and very busy NO wonder your tired. You do need to let the doctor know how tired you are though.
