Self Portrait Challenge - Introduce Youself
I missed last week's Self Portrait submission, I know. I didn't feel like doing it, so I didn't do it. But I'm back.
I am tired. Damn, I'm tired. I would love a nap right now, but it is time to fix dinner and Zorba the Tiny needs tending to. Some days I feel more tired than others. Some days I should probably take a nap when Zorba goes down, but I rarely take a nap because I want to get stuff done. I want to rest on the couch to knit while I watcand watching a television show. I want to sit without having 24lbs hanging from my shirt. I want to be able to concentrate on something without worrying that my child is on top of the kitchen counters. I want to sit by myself for an hour and if I napped that hour would pass so quickly that I wouldn't even know it happened. So I don't nap and I'm tired.
Today has been a day of running around so I'm feeling extra tired. I love my girl, I love her like I've never loved anyone ever, so please don't think that I'm complaining about her. She is a toddler, she does what toddlers do. She goes, goes, goes, goes, and goes some more. She is curious, she wants to be with me constantly, and I love that. I love that she wants to be with me, because I want to be with her. However, I really enjoy the napping hour. Man, I love naptime. And I love that moment when I'm in bed at night and I'm so tired that I can't keep my eyes open and I know that I'm about to fall asleep and that I have 7 or 8 hours of sleep ahead of me...........

I think that first picture of you if the best one I've ever seen of you. It looks like an album cover or something. Very nice!

Right now I can't stop yawning and while the baby is asleep, the boy is upstairs messing around not sleeping. What I would give for him to be asleep right now so that I could wash my hair - before the bus gets here with my daughter. Not to be. The overwhelming fatigue is sometimes, well, overwhelming. I hear you!

I'm grinning because I contemplated using this as my entry this week. Tired. It kind of defines me some days. Too late! You beat me to it.

I'm right there with you. So tired. i keep saying to J. "when is this going to get easier?" and yes, naptime is my slice of sanity.

Weird, my half-written comment disappeared.
As I was saying (lol): That second one of the two of you is GORGEOUS.
And I totally get the kind of "tired" you speak of. I call it low-grade fatigue. It is a constant in my life. Sometimes I'm more tired than others. I too love naptime and I also don't use it as well as I should. Sigh.
