Please help me find my mojo

Ds has been poorly for a fair period of time so I've been unable to go to groups or meet with friends. I'm 33 weeks pregnant. Haven't pulled anything out of the loft for new baby yet. No furniture up for new baby clothes storage. Ds has a mound of clothes which need sorting to go in the loft.
Where Ds has been poorly he's feeding lots again so there's extra bottles to wash. He's started teething so I was up with him from 2-4.30 and he woke at 7. Plus I'm currently suffering from pregnancy insomnia.
I'm still working (although very very part time) and I have a couple of.exams I need to study for to take in early Jan.
DH is working six days this week and although he'll come.home,.take Ds, hang out with him, do bath/bed, cook.for us and do a quick tidy of the kitchen, he's pretty worn out too.

I'm exhausted. So so tired. Ive been sleeping during Ds first nap of the day which means it's nearly midday and I haven't even yet brushed my teeth as the bathroom isn't safe for Ds to.potter in (broken tiles, no bath panel). Second nap I try to get bits like washing bottles, etc, sorted and have been wrapping Christmas prezzies and writing cards. It's not like I'm trying to.make the place immaculate. We have both clean and dirty washing everywhere and beds need changing but can wait for now.

I need my mojo. I need some energy and I need to get everything sorted.

How he hell do I achieve all that?!

Partially tackled the kitchen while Ds was having lunch. I think if I can get the house sorted I'll feel a lot more chilled. Might try to finish Christmas wrapping during nap time so that's then all out of my way. Let's just ignore the lack of shower and the fact that I'm still not dressed yet!

Ds can 'help' me sort some of his clothes once he wakes.

I'm aware I'm talking to myself but I don't really care Grin I've managed to wrap the last couple of Christmas presents used all the wrapping paper, unlucky for you when you have to wrap yours, DH!!

Also managed to have a shower, lunch and am sat with a cuppa.

Thanks DS for your lovely long nap this afternoon!

Aww sounds like you are doing fab! Just got to bite off little bits like you are doing.

You have lots on your plate but you sounds quite upbeat!

I have a 3 year old and 8 month old and feel like I get nothing done. I shower in the evenings now cuz that always seemed to be my last priority which wasn't fair on myself lol.

How old is your DS? X

Any consolation I feel the same and I only have a nine year old.

I have to tidy and clean whole house before Christmas (as DH is coming to stay, we live apart)

Wrap presents, do food shopping. Get rid of a mound of old clothes and assemble a chest of drawers so I can put my clothes away properly.

Yesterday I had a word with myself and washed and changed the sheets. I felt so proud of myself Hmm

Oh, and I have about a million Amazon boxes to recycle and glass bottles.

I have also lost my mojo! You seem to be doing very well to me OP

I reckon it can all be done this weekend if I put my mind to it. Grin

Thank you all. Ds is 11 months so it's all pretty manic!
