It's a lovely day, I have a beautiful DD, wonderful DH and DDog and I want to have a productive day with lots of playtime for DD but I just feel so tired and searching for the energy.
I gave up a career as head of a corporate department so that I could stay with her until she's a little older (currently ten months) so I am used to long hours and a long commute, emails until late at night etc but this is somehow more tiring! DD is still up a lot in the night which doesn't help and has some health problems which are a huge worry to me although they don't affect her at all at the moment (hopefully never will)
DH mentioned and he's right that I often feel more like this during school holidays as there are no baby groups etc but it's not an excuse as there's loads we can go and do. We'll go for a nice walk after her nap and maybe swimming
But I feel like I keep trying to summon up more energy and it's just not there like I'm out of petrol! Help. There's loads to be done, sorting through cupboards, dog training, cooking, cleaning etc - I want to be a fun interactive mum and then get on with some stuff to show her a good example while she plays in her pen but I am struggling to find the get up and go which I used to have so much of
More coffee?!
