Well, I haven’t posted in what seems like ages, because nothing is going on with us these days except that I. AM. TIRED. I finally made it to my last month of pregnancy — which took freakin’ forever, and I honestly thought I would never get here. And back in months six and seven, when I thought I was tired? I was just kidding. Now, I am really, really tired. I used to lie down for a 45 minute nap in the afternoons when Gal Smiley went for her nap, and the Captain watched a video. Now I find I need a mid-morning nap, and then a lunchtime snooze, and then an afternoon siesta, and in between, I’m quite prone to falling asleep spontaneously while playing with the kids. Trust me, falling asleep while playing The Buzz Lightyear Show is frowned upon by the other participants.

And the ironic thing is, I totally can’t sleep at night, because I can’t get comfortable in our bed. It’s too hot and too flat and I have to get up to pee every hour, and I wake up totally cranky and annoyed, and looking forward to my morning nap.

When we were deciding whether or not to go for George III, my own personal fear was that I would not physically survive another pregnancy. Not that the first two were any trouble at all, and really, I have no reason to complain and am just being a totally whiny and ungrateful future Mommy, but I certainly was really tired with those two. The difference was that I had lots and lots of napping opportunities, and I took them. This time around, I’m still taking the naps, but now I feel really guilty about it. I mean, Lazytown is an educational show and all, but how many episodes can my kids watch in a day while I drool into a pillow on the couch, and still grow up to be Prime Minister and Governor General, respectively? I really feel like I gotta pull it together, and how.

So although I have written many posts in my head in the past couple of days, I’m in the stage now where five minutes of sleep, versus five minutes of posty goodness, wins out. If you don’t hear from me much this month, you can assume I am either asleep, or cranky and whining about sleep.
