Light-hearted - you honestly don't need to diagnose me, I'm most probably fine, but -
These last few weeks I can't stay awake till bedtime. I keep falling asleep watching the telly at about 9 o'clock. I've always been a bit of a night owl so it feels very strange. But I'm totally knackered. DH tore the ligament in his knee about 8 weeks ago, he was on crutches for about a month, then in for surgery, now back on crutches so he needs help with stuff and can't do much around the house. Also DD1 got scarlet fever/strep throat when he originally did the injury, then DD2 just got it just now, and in the middle I've had some hideous virus and now onto a second cold. I feel like we can't catch a break at all. I have a tendency to pick up chest infections due to childhood illness, and a couple of years ago when DH and I were not working extremely long hours I got ill with a chest infection that just wouldn't clear and I decided to pack in my work and go back to being a SAHM, and I know that with kids in school I have a lighter load than a lot of people but I am just so bloody tired. My periods are also starting to play silly buggers, I'm 43, is this what it's like being 43? Anyone else feel the same? I feel like I've been tired for about the last decade.
