    However the basic truth for most moms was pointed out by my 4-year old granddaughter who likes to play doctor and was giving her mom and pretend examine. She then asked "What seems to be the problem?" My daughter-in-law said, "I'm just so very tired." My granddaughter asked her, "Do you have kids?" My daughter-in-law said, "Yes, I do." My granddaughter thought for a moment and said solemnly, "I'm sorry, there is nothing I can do to help you."

    That is seriously awesome.

    OMG hilarious! and so true....................

    Some other thoughts besides diet - you could be dealing with a deficiency. I'd suggest making a doc appt and getting levels of iron, Vit D and Vit B tested. Maybe even thyroid?

    THIS! get your bloods checked. My 25-hydroxy Vitamin D. blood test came back very low - feeling much better after supplementing for the past 2 months... make sure it's the 25-hydroxy test though... you usually have to specify not the usual vitamin D test.

    This probably won't help much and I do not have kids. However, I'm a college student again working on an AA degree. This is actually my third degree that I've worked on. I'm an experienced student. I have homework to do. Between school and work on Tuesday, I went 14 hours without a break for food. I managed to eat, but mostly at my desk while working. I have found that by working out early and eating a proper breakfast that I have energy for the entire day. The benefits of that exercise session seem to last a while. So I worked out on Monday morning and worked a 14 hour day on Tuesday.

    You know I'm fully supportive of the before the dawn work out. You don't have to wonder where I am at 5am on Mon., Weds., or Friday. I'm on my bike on a dark country road doing about 15 miles an hour. I have a good and bright headlight on the handlebars. I have a super bright flashing red light on the back of the bike. Even when I don't want to get up, I get up. I drag on my bike clothing and head out to the garage. The wife and the dog watch me leave and go back to sleep. In order to get up, I go to bed early every night. When your trying to lose weight, you have to have the discipline to push on through.

    When I get back, I have some carbs for breakfast and hopefully some protein. If I do this as often as possible and in the exact same way, I make progress. I know working out is hard with all our other time commitments. However, I find that working out seems to give me more energy in the rest of my life.

    I literally just snorted at my desk. From the mouths of babes, as they say.
