I was awake from 1:45 until 4:30 in the morning!!


Not sure what the deal was. There is an "old wives tale" about insomnia during pregnancy preparing you for being up with a baby. Whatever!!

Anyway, I pushed myself and got through a workout at the gym and ran a bunch of errands.

I need to do a few more things but now that I am sitting, I feel the fatigue slowly taking over my body.

What to do! The adrenalin/endorphins are wearing off.....I need to function!!!

    Once you have someone else clean your toilets you'll never want to do it yourself again!! Besides, it's a playdate. They're all moms too. They get being tired so they are probably glad that it's not at their house!
    Also eat some turkey and drink a glass of lowfat milk before bed. The Triptophane will knock you out!

    Some milk now might help juice you up a bit...protein, vitamins, worth a try....

    A nap sounds like the best thing

    Tam, I did this during pregnancy, too. I'd be up from around 2am until 6, then go back to bed for a few hours. I survived by napping when the kids did.

    One thing I found though, if you can just force yourself to exercise for half an hour or so around 4 o'clock, it's enough to pep you up through the dinner hour! I got to the point where I really needed that second round of stair-walking or jogging to make it all the way to bedtime.

    YOU need to get some rest dear... those things can get done later... you do not need to run yourself ragged... NOR do you need to get all stressed out...

    Only if you like Hot Chocolate, OR you could have two good Strawbgasms and call me in the morning... Oh and take a nap too! helps with digestion and settling after the Strawbgasms... you know how it is... you shouldnt eat right before you swim kinda thing....

    Hi again everyone.

    Just went to the post office. Still awake!! :blushing:


    Ok, per Dr. HiandTri's orders, I will drink some hot chocolate today. With or without whipped cream??? (you know, just so I get it right!!)

    I do have strawberries too, so strawbgasm is soon to be had! :drinker:

    Just so you know my triglycerides were at 96 this time, so down from over 400 to 96... my cholesterol is fine, I know i had posted about a month or so ago about it... so you know what that means?

    I can eat more Strawberries, and have more strawbgasms... mmmmm I can not wait...

    have your two Strawbgasms, drink your hotchocolate, with or without whipping cream, and take a nap... I have also found that cuddling while napping helps too, so if you get a chance snuggle up with that son of yours!!!

    I am trying to decide if I should nap first and clean later or clean now, get it done and nap.

    Hmm, my brain is not helping much right now in making a decision!!

    I need to eat some lunch too.

    And for that playdate I am hosting tomorrow, I am making mini ham and cheese frittatas, cinnamon coffeecake quick bread and I have bagels with cream cheese!! Can I get a "YUM!!!!!" :bigsmile:

    A bunch of mom's getting together know how to cook and eat!! :laugh: :laugh:

    I still say nap now, clean later but who am I to say... anywho.. I'm going to take my nap now.

    And I agree with whoever said they're moms too so who cares if your house isn't spotless!
