Exhaustion

 I have heard a lot of the symptoms that come up in early pregnancy.  Somehow I missed the part about being completely fatigued 24/7.  There are a lot of pregnant women in my office right now and they all seem to hold it together well.  I wonder what their houses look like.  Mine looks like a disaster.

I seem to have about 8 good hours in me a day.  Those hours have basically been reserved for work and I can hardly function for the rest of the day.  I rarely have the energy to get up and put clothes in the washing machine.  I finally did that tonight, mostly because I ran out of clean wearable clothes.  The dirty dishes are piling up in the kitchen and I just don't have the energy to care.  It's a good thing my husband has been completely caught up in the bathroom remodel.  I don't think he has noticed.

I can't even stay up to watch an entire Blazers game on TV.  Jeremy is at the game tonight.  Usually I complain on the few occasions he goes without me because I want to be there too, but now going to a game this late in the evening sounds terrible.

It's 6:30.  I'm hoping to make it until 8 before going to bed.  Wish me luck.
