    Not a vent about being pregnant as such

    Im just so tired! Its my own fault though. I don't get to bed till about 10.30, I just don't fall asleep if I go earlier.
    But im tired. The kids are getting on my nerves because im tired. DH is getting on my nerves because we can't agree on names & im tired.

    I have sat here pretty much ALL day flicking between here & FB & watching episodes of what ever because im tired. I feel slack as but man I am tired..

    You know that point of tired you could just cry at anything remotely stressful.

    Make me Pancakes MUM - NO Im tired, i don't want to stand in front of the hot oven making pancakes!

    yeh i was like that towards the end as well....it's pretty exhausting! i was putting movies on for DD and having catnaps when i could.

    i'm not going to say 'not long to go now though' cause i know thats what everyone would say and it will get frustrating Lol. is there anyway the older boys could start to help out a little bit, if you try and step back and let them? maybe try and let E help cook dinner or something? I don't know......just big and hope you get to put your feet up soon xxxx

    Poor you I hate that feeling - especially when you know that it is impacting on the ones you love around you!

    Can you nap during the day? I am not a big night time sleeper but I find that daytime naps every now and then can help me catch up - I dont really know what else to suggest I am sorry

    I can offer lots of hugs though

    Know how you feel... and it sucks... we have a house inspection in less than two hours and the house is a pig sty, and to be honest I don't have the energy to care...

    And doesn't it suck when you are flicking between a few pages and they aren't moving fast enough to keep you entertained :-) I think my friends need more of a life so I can comment on their updates more

    I hope you sleep better tonight

    yeah I usually sneak off & lay in the room with everything but my ears switched off. but its hot today & the AC is on in here, I don't have the energy to go down there & turn the bedroom one on LOL.

    I would get the boys to do more but that just makes more for me to do after so kinda pointless.

    Ah I just need some chocolate. I need to get some bread & fruit so when DH gets home I might sneak off for a caffeine hit. I need some coke & chocolate LOL

    Chocolate definitely helps!!! It's been getting me through my tired days lately too. I am not sleeping well either and can't seem to go to bed earlier than 11pm most nights my mind just keeps ticking over and over!

    I hear you (I still have 6 weeks to go and I am a wreck). Now here is a cliche, that may touch a tired nerve because it did with me when some unsuspecting individual lectured me on it a couple of months ago! If you can up your water intake it may really help you. I find I am so exhausted, especially in the afternoons, but drinking about 3l of water throughout the day really does help me get through it. Good luck - you have my absolute sympathy

    You know, I try & drink enough water but I doubt I drink even a 1/4 of what I should. Im going to make an effort to do so though. Its humid up here & I sweat like I have never sweated before so I really should try & counteract that.
