Is this normal?

[FragileTitanium]

As you know, we've just finished the half term break. I'm feeling absolutely, properly trashed but given that I've only got one little girl around 4 who is easy and I don't work anymore, I wonder if this is normal.

All my friends have got 2-3 children, many of them work and do loads of other things and look gorgeous all the time too. I feel a bit guilty for being so knackered in my situation, which is so easy compared to my friends.

We had house guests for the first half of the week, and I hosted some play dates including lunch and we also went to the theatre, swimming and a few other little things. The usual half term stuff that all the mums I know take in their stride with style.

Should I just suck it up and get on with it or is it reasonable to be properly trashed in my easy situation? Tiredness is skewing my perspective?!

How much exercise do you take?

Hi there
I cycle (very slowly) everywhere (school run, shops, etc) but otherwise nothing.

Sounds like you have overdone things abit. I certainly don't do so much in a week, and I have 2dcs, I work term-time only IMO having house guests is tiring in itself, followed closely by playdates, theatre and swimming I'd be bloody knackered too.

Thanks for that!
I think lljkk is right - I could do with a bit more exercise. Will start the NHS Couch Potato to 5km podcast runs seeing as the weather looks gorgeous right now and I definitely qualify for the term couch potato.
