So stinkin' tired

Let me preface this with an "I'm not pregnant" statement.

The past couple of months I have been exhausted. I used to spend Parker's naptime cleaning the house or writing emails or getting things done. Now I crash on my bed the second he's down for a nap. I put off grocery shopping til we're desperate because I don't have the energy to go walk around the store. I feel bad because Parker basically has the most boring mom in the world lately. I just lay on the couch while he plays with his toys. I have never been a nap taker - even when Parker was brand new. Crazy, I know. Now I can't take enough naps. I know something isn't right. I've never felt this exhausted before (excluding the hellish newborn weeks).

So, after much complaining to Jeff and frustration about my lack of energy, I made an appointment to see the doctor next week. I'm going to get some blood work done and hopefully find an answer to this stupid thing. My guess is that I'm iron deficient (I was anemic during pregnancy and was on iron supplements), but who knows. Maybe I need a better diet, or some exercise. I just don't understand how it suddenly started when I haven't changed anything.

Anyway, that's why the posting has been few and far between lately. Just too dang tired. Boo.

How much does your husband love you?

Does he love you this much?

Check it out. It made me laugh.

I like 'em different

I'm particular. You could say I'm a little weird (or a lot weird depending on how well you know me):

I don't like to eat lunch before noon. If it is 11:59, I still feel like it isn't lunch time yet.

I must eat breakfast-y foods when I wake up. Even if it is just a bite of yogurt. Pizza for breakfast? Forget-about-it!

Holidays go in order for me. I don't go Easter egg hunting on Valentine's day. I don't trick-or-treat on the 4th of July. And I don't listen to Christmas music the day after Halloween. I know lots of people get excited about Christmas, but what happened to Thanksgiving?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not raining on your parade if you sing Jingle Bells on midnight at Halloween. Enjoy what you enjoy, have fun with life and do things that make you happy. Nothing bugs me more than people who rain on other people's parades (cough cough Twilight haters cough). Live and let live.

We're all a little different, but that's what makes us fun.

*Sigh*

Love love love love love love.

LOVE.

I'm in love with the birthday boy
