I'm housebound because of health issues to do with this pregnancy and don't drive so I've basically been stuck in the house with a toddler since Week 11 so I can well relate to the monotony of it all.

Some days are truly horrific. Others are not so bad. The horrific ones are when I'm trying to get stuff done (we're buying/selling/moving house) and DD won't let me. Some days I literally can't get on the computer for 30 seconds to look up a phone number. On those days, I just have to give in and resign myself to the fact that I'm not going to get anything on my To Do list done. Otherwise, I can spend the whole day trying to do something that should take 10 minutes and just get really frustrated.

The good days are where we change things. Because I've got limited options, that might be that we play in my bedroom rather than the living room or we do a new activity like painting or making muffins or I teach her to give me the washing out of the washing machine. My favourite de-stresser when I could actually get into the bath, was to have a bath with her at any time of the day.

It's mentally draining though, especially when you're sleep deprived to start with, to keep coming up with new things to do.

Hope tomorrow is better for you and you get a good night's sleep tonight.
