Sooooo tired

[Masel]

I can't believe how tired I am. I could curl up and take a nap right now. I keep forgetting things too. DH is out of town and I completely forgot to take out the trash. I'm forgetting work stuff too.

How do you experienced moms cope with this phase. I thought I'd have DH to help but they need him for an out of town project. I'm so grateful that he has a good job he loves that I don't want to complain about him being gone.

Well, as a single mom of four I just do what I have to do because there isn't any other option. Other than that I nap when I can and sleep as much as possible when the kids are.

This is one of the things I feared when TTC (but took the plunge anyway!). So far, I haven't been too extra tired, but it's gonna be bad when it hits. My son requires very little sleep. Even with a one-hour-only nap, he stays up till 9 or 9:30 each night. And he nurses a lot while sleeping, so I can't nap when he does and have pretty interrupted sleep at night. He exhausts me at the best of times! Thankfully, my husband works shiftwork so I can get an extra hur or two of rest in the mornings when he's off (pretty much the only benefit to his schedule).

I have bee super tired lately too... I have been trying to get to bed early and make sure I get at least 8-9hrs of sleep.

Someone suggested I find someone to come help me out. She suggested finding a teenager who'd like to earn some extra cash. I have no idea how to find a teenage mother's helper. Do kids even do that anymore?

I think lots of kids still do that. Is there a community center near you where there might be a flyer advertising this or a high school?

I'm super tired too, it hit this weekend. I just took an hour nap on the couch while my almost 6 yo had tv time and 2 yo was napping. It helped but I could go for more!
