Exhaustion & Shopping

I feel like I’m about to fall over.  That would mostly be because Elliana decided the middle of the night last night was play time, and it took me 4 hours to get her back to sleep.  I had counted on her morning nap today as rest time for me as well, but she decided she didn’t want to sleep this morning either.  She’s been up for 2-3 hours then down for 30 minutes all day.  Now she’s finally out again, and I’m trying to get some stuff accomplished before she wakes up again.

I’d love to rest my eyes, but I don’t think I’ll get to do that until Hubby gets home and can take over for awhile.  I never thought I’d ever be so happy to get that few minutes to myself in the evenings to take a shower or close my eyes for an hour.  Thank goodness I don’t have to cook dinner tonight since I made a big pot of “gut bomb soup” last night.  That’ll feed us for a couple days, and I’ll freeze the leftovers.

Pre-baby I used my crock pot at least a couple nights a week.  Post baby I’m finding myself using it almost every night since I just don’t have the time to stand in the kitchen cooking dinner.  My wonderful Hubby does cook on the nights I can’t or haven’t had the time to crock pot something.

Then again when do I have the time to do anything?  Most of the time I’m running around like a chicken with my head cut off.  The good news is I probably won’t need any fat burners anytime soon. The bad news is I don’t have time or energy to do anything!

I’m surprised I’ve got the time to shoot out a blog post here and there.  I haven’t even had time to do my Christmas shopping yet.  Seriously I haven’t bought the first gift for anyone outside of our household.  People are just going to have to understand this year if they get their presents late.  I just don’t have the time to order the stuff I want to buy, and I’m not dragging the baby out to the store in the Christmas season rush.
