Mommy's Tired .....

Yesterday was a good day... I left work and picked up peanut from daycare. She was eating dinner when A and I got there because she saw the rest of the kids eating. So we talked to her sitter for 20 minutes while she had not 1 but 2 plates of food! We then headed home and relaxed downstairs with my MIL for a bit. I headed upstairs (Dragging my feet the whole way) to make dinner for my BIL and his GF. It was Taco night - seems to be one of the foods I always want when i'm pregnant. After about 5 temper tantrums from peanut dinner was ready and we were sitting down to eat. After dinner BIL had a yummy brownie ice cream cake for dessert. I don't know why but i'm not a huge dessert person, I normally only have about 5 bites and i'm done which makes A very happy because he gets to finish my leftovers.

It was about 8:30 and since peanut had daycare in the morning it was time for her to get to bed. After yet another tantrum she was in her jammies and lying cozy in her crib. We then sat down to watch a movie... I was already admittedly thinking about going to bed as it was 9pm and I figured I could read my magazines but I wanted to be sociable. We started the movie and within 5 minutes a guy had his hand blown off, someone else got his knee blown out and another got shot in the face! That was it for me...not my kind of movie. I gave Duke (One of our dogs) his thyroid pill, yes he has a problem, and packed up my magazines. I kissed everyone goodnight and headed on my way.
Now I know that you are supposed to be tired while pregnant and I was with peanut BUT this is just getting crazy. I'm around 14 weeks and it hasn't eased at all. I guess the severe vitamin D deficiency and the thyroid problem doesn't help much but geez! I'm used to going to bed around 11 so losing three hours at night is screwing me all up with housework etc...

So fast forward to this morning - I wake up on my own which is good and lie in bed until the alarm goes off 20 minutes later. When it is time to get up I can barley open my eyes because they are all swollen and sore (I have no idea!!). So here I am trying to get myself going, feed the dogs, let them out, give Duke his pill, get lunch ready and get peanut up and dressed and out the door and all I want to do is crawl back into bed. Never mind the fact that we are leaving work at 3 today because A is taking me to the city for a surprise night out, to which I ask "What time are we getting home?".

It's only about an hour into work and I still can't seem to wake up - I really need a pick me up because I have a long, yet exciting, day ahead of me and I can't seem to get excited! UGH

Why is it so hard to be a woman/mommy sometimes????

Thanks for listening to my rant.... more on the surprise later :)
