Anyone actually getting anything done??!

[Em1503]

I'm 39+4 and this hot weather is killing me! I know it's perfectly acceptable to be relaxing and taking it easy, but I feel so guilty! I've stuff to do such an go to the post office and dry cleaners and I know that I am not going to leave the house today! Too hot, tired and exhausted! Please tell me it's not just me?!

I keep telling myself that, even while I'm crashed out on the sofa in a hot, sticky puddle, my body is doing amazingly productive things!

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who can't do anything. I feel awful as I tell my husband I'll cook this or that, I'll pick up stuff etc, and then he comes home and I'll have done nothing and can't eat as I feel hot and sick. I think it's hard to explain how little I've done when I'm at home all day, he's not annoyed or anything but I keep trying to justify myself! He had all this in the early sickness days though and he was a total star and did everything, but I was working full time then so I didn't feel so crap, lazy, and unproductive. So glad I got everything ready for the baby pre mat leave as I thought I might struggle in the summer!

It's not just you, I'm making myself do stuff or it won't get done! I'm 33+4, and am getting up at 7am when DH gets up for work, putting a wash on, and doing the ironing from the day before. Then when wash is on I'm having a shower then pegging the wash out. Then sitting for a few hours doing nothing before I do my daily job, ie Monday deep clean kitchen, Tuesday deep clean bathrooms, Wednesday tidy bedrooms, Thursday dust house, Friday Hoover house, Saturday change beds lol plus in evenings I put clean laundry away, wipe kitchen and lois down, and tidy toys and Hoover downstairs. That's more than enough for me, and it's only about an hour a day on housework! Have even taken to doing my food shop online as I can't drag myself round the shops! I have to go out in the day though as I have a 6 year old DS who needs to do stuff in school holiday x

OMG JC74 you iron baby clothes?!

I'm no better today! Still in bed, the prospect of having a shower and getting dressed is not good, although I know I'll feel better if I do! Hunger is driving me to get up though! I've got a fan now which is a godsend, it'll be following me round the house wherever I go!

Baby is wriggling around though to remind me of what's important (not cleaning the windows!) but I'm just ready for her to come out now!!

I have done some things today but am feeling very grumpy. Have cleaned cat pee out if carpet (not poo so no tox risk). Put washing on and hung it out. Put washing up away and cleaned down the sink. Made myself some relatively healthy breakfast. However feeling mightily pissed off as I am under instruction from DH to rest but have just done all the jobs he was meant to do last night!!

Would love to see what would happen to the house if my idea of a day of rest was the same as his!

I'm beginning to think my 'To Do' list for the holidays is a little optimistic.

Today I have managed to wash up and walk the dog. That's actually pretty productive for me. 13+3 and probably more lazy than anything

I hung some washing up. I feel like a hero.

I'm 30 weeks. I got up with DD at 6am this morning to let DP have a little lie in, then she went to nursery and I have been to the market and had a little wander round to shops to wonder how I'm going to go to a wedding at 33 weeks and not look like shit, and made myself some (cold!) soup…

I feel so guilty at the thought of sitting on the sofa drinking iced water reading comics this afternoon. But I think I'm going to anyway.

I just feel so guilty about these days I have sometimes where she's in nursery but I'm not at work. But if I don't have them I crash.

I feel pathetic and like everyone else manages.

Manic day with the toddler tomorrow, and some long shifts at work next week.

More productive day today, been out and got loads of toiletries and cleaning items so I've got a stockpile for when baby comes. Been to have cuddles with my 4 week old niece and had a good 'what to expect' baby chat with SiL! I think I'm better if I get up when DH does for work, I can get stuff done in the morning before I crash, if I lie in I just don't do anything all day. It's still just so hot though that it would be actually harmful to toil around too much in this sun so I'm not too guilty.

My house looks like a crack den

I am 40+5 and have done 3 loads of laundry. Feel like I deserve a gold medal. Cannot do anything else until tomorrow. So hot, uncomfortable and every task feels like an attempt to climb Everest.

Luckily have an understanding DH. When I give him my puppy dog eyes and apologise, he lets me off. As for cooking dinner, I will do it if everyone will enjoy putting together all the salad items I drag from the fridge.

I am officially useless!

Oh you made me laugh mrsgembles !! I'm trying to start as I mean to go on...of course we all know that it won't last!!
I'm at that time killing stage where I want everything to look perfect :)

My house looks like shit a cross between the bargain bin at Wickes and a jumble sale.
I spent today drinking stupid overpriced frappe drinks with my mum like a fat weeble.
Yes I am useless. Oh well.

I feel guilty about doing absolutely nothing around the house! Crack den just about covers it. Managed to do a shop and cook a roast chicken as cravings so strong... No chance ill be clearing that up!

I feel like I am getting NOTHING done so this thread is making me feel a lot better. Cbeebies has been on all day. I made it to the shops and back. Done 2 loads of washing and a bit of a play in the garden. It's not so much that I'm not getting anything done it's more that I'm minimizing the things I do achieve and making myself feel like a lazy excuse for a mother. I know it won't be like this forever. I don't mind the 'laziness' its the guilt I can't stand :(

I have unstacked and stacked the dishwasher and put a load of washing on.

About to go out to the butchers, then that might be me just about done for the day. 37+3 today.

Praying for a rainstorm.

I went to a festival. Toddler loved it. I had to queue for a wee for an hour at one point. I nearly died. MAKE IT RAIN!

omg weebairn I cant believe someone didn't let you go to the front of the que!!

We need to do a rain dance

whiteblossom I know!! I nearly asked but I'm just too British. I couldn't have looked any more pregnant, in a crop top with a face-paint-painted belly

Someone should have taken pity on me!

Today I have done some laundry, some tidying, let toddler drink most of a paddling pool, and then sent her out to day two of the festival with her dad while I pottered around shops and ate cake. NOW I AM EXHAUSTED.

Work tomorrow, eurrgh.

Bit cooler today at least! 21 degrees here.
