Ok, normally I am a pretty positive person I think....but boy this pregnancy is kicking my butt! I have never felt so tired and exhausted in my life! This is how my day went today....after going to bed at 930pm last night...which is sooo early for me....
woke up at 7am....helped the boys get ready for school, Kai at the last minute decided he didn't like anything on the menu for school, so whipped him a lunch to bring.....also packed him a snack for school that he was suppossed to bring....made pancakes for breakfast...which i never do during the week....but just did today.
810 boys out the door and riding their scooters to school...after searching for Kase's helmet all morning...but finding it...finally
811 hurry and get Chloe ready for preschool...she already ate, but had to do her hair (if you've seen her, you know that this is time consuming), convince her to go potty, fill out a paper for her preschool, convince her to wear leggings under her dress, feed the cat, get myself dressed, teeth brushed etc....
825 it was my turn to drive to preschool for the carpool, so made my rounds around Daybreak to pick up the kids, buckle them all in....drive to preschool....
900 come home, do the dishes, throw in a load of laundry....fold and put away 2 loads that have been sitting for 2 days...ugh. clean up the breakfast mess and the "getting ready for school mess"....answer the phone 3 times......cleaned up the tile in the kitchen because the garbage was overflowing and a popsicle had been thrown away and melted all over and walked in....ugh. Decided to eat something so I had a yogurt....sat on the couch to eat it and seriously FELL ASLEEP ON THE COUCH with my yogurt in my hand. I'm not kidding. I freaked out and woke up an hour and a half later remembering that I have to pick up from preschool....so I hurry and cleaned up the yogurt off the floor that i dropped while I slept...ugh. Jumped in the shower for a 2 min. shower to wake me up and ran out the door to pick the kids back up from preschool.......
kids came to my house after preschool to play for a while....then the mom's came and picked them up.....fixed lunch etc....more laundry, paid some bills etc....then read Chloe 4 books that she had been carrying around....on the couch...nodding off, trying again to stay awake....then, Juice walks in the door super early.....he was at a hearing today so he came home early....around 230....and when I saw him I almost cried I was so happy! I immediately went into my room to take another nap.....Juice took Chloe on a walk and to meet the boys after school and then to get a Jamba Juice...good dad! I slept for 2 hrs....then Juice woke me up because he had to go get his hair cut.....ugh....could have slept til the morning....
Since I had slept so much, hadn't got anything out for dinner.....ended up making tacos...it worked, kids love them....sent a bunch of neighbor's home....kids did homework, read etc....Juice came back from his 2+hr haircut....what? he said he had to wait....
I bathed kids, changed the sheets on the beds, blah blah...Juice came home, kids went to bed....cleaned up dinner mess, looked over homework, vacuumed the floor....cleaned up more kid messes....etc....sat on the couch and almost fell asleep again, but decided to make it official and get pj's on and go to bed!
oh, and to make it worse, Juice was sitting by me on the couch giggling at how tired I was and he said "maybe it's twins?" you've NEVER been this tired before...ugh...yeah, that was the right thing to say..........
anyway, that was my day....just thought i'd give you a glimpse....and that was a pretty basic day with not a lot going on like stuff at the kids' school, running Juice's wallet to his school when he forgets it... :) etc.....
anyway, after I have this baby....please feel free to remind me of this......love this baby and am excited for the actual baby...but ugh, this getting it here process sucks.

Oh wow, I'm suddenly re-living my pregnancy experiences - always sleeping but never getting enough sleep!?! The yogurt-in-hand-incidence made me laugh right out loud. Go get some rest! :)
Oh and don't you look forward to the bloating, not being able to get your shoes on, the night sweats, the babies sudden bursts of energy that send you running for the toilet, the painful hips and of course engourgement.
Just thougt that would help you feel better! No?
The up side? Watching your belly move in the bathtub, the baby hicups, the soft slow movements he/she makes when you talk or sing to him, the opportunity to slow down and enjoy (maybe there's a good reason we get so tired), there's more, but of course the end result is wonderful.
LIA! you made me nauseous there for a minute...blah!!! Glad you ended on a good note though :)
You made me laugh so hard...especially the yogurt falling out of your hand :) I almost fell asleep in the car today waiting for Jaxon to get out of school...not good! I hate being so tired all the time and my problem is that I can't sleep well at all when I actually do get the chance to sleep...9 more weeks is all I keep telling myself!
Dude, I hear you sister! But just rest when ever you can and it WILL get better in a few weeks.... I still havent changed my "never doin this again" attitude from that 1st tri-mester. But, you are stronger than you know. And your kids are so good- maybe have a talk with them and ask for help- as in, mommy needs lots of naps, they'd do anything for you. They'll understand.
TWINS!!! HOW FUN! hahaha I fell asleep standing in the shower tonight. I woke up to jackson YELLING at me "dead?" My heart jumped and I nearly slipped onto my bum. I had a LOoOooooOoOong weekend, and sleep is ALLLL I did today!
