I am functioning in a perpetual stupor. Pregnancy has drained me of all energy, and the messy house and impending move have me overwhelmed and in a limbo of not really thinking that any effort this week is going to benefit me in any way whatsoever. All of this week’s efforts will, ultimately, be undone come next week when they actually count. The mess, it isn’t going anywhere.

Add to this about twenty-five different creative ideas a-swirling in my brain about how to decorate the new house and what to make for the baby, and things to sew and scrapbook and I am a classic example of ADD gone very, very badly. I am exhausted simply by thinking and accomplishing next to nothing. Wow. Go me.

Because of this, I have decided it is time to pack a few things up, and to GET OUT OF THE HOUSE as much as possible over the next week. Tomorrow we will spend our Veteran’s Day visiting the California Academy of Sciences, which I am looking forward to very much. I am just a little worried that I’ll hit the very late hour of. . .oh. . .one o’clock in the afternoon and pass out in the middle of a rainforest display, but I’m willing to take that risk.

Leaving you with a pic of where I wish I was. . .

They are angels when they sleep, except for lately when I wake up in the middle of the night with two kids who have crawled into my bed. Usually, they are both kicking me and the baby is quick to join in. You haven’t had your sleep properly disturbed until you’ve had three children kicking you from the inside out all night. This may have something to do with why I am so tired.

I have a friend taking my kids for three hours on Friday so I can take a nap. This will be the highlight of my week.
