Come in, lazy bums. (Yes you, on the sofa)

Green*Flamingo · August 2010

Oh man, I feel like complete crap. I never knew pregnancy would be so exhausting. Anyone else camped on the sofa, taking Zofran like a meth addict and trying to delicately balance the food/fluid level in their stomach so as not to end up hurling in the toilet?

DH is out tonight getting flight hours, so I am home alone watching the cats and the rabbit chase each other around. I have absolutely no intention of getting up off the sofa and being remotely productive tonight. F-it.

Come on all you whiners and bums. Whats going on with you tonight?

eeyoreem · August 2010

I'm at work staring at the computer screen and trying to keep myself awake

Green*Flamingo · August 2010

You work nights/evenings? Or just working extra hours?

azpharmgirl · August 2010

my laundry is strewn around the floor and needs to be put away. the dishes are piling up and i am hoping dh does them, even though i haven't done any dishes in weeks.

yesterday we didn't get out of bed until after 4pm. dh had a hang over and i was just exhausted. i feel like a blob of slime with no shape (except round) and no energy or direction.

ps. how did you know i am on the sofa? ;o)

I just woke up from a 3 hour nap on the couch myself. Can't seem to sleep at night due to nausea, so I guess the couch is my new best friend.

Really should try and get some housework done, but really don't want to at the same time.

eeyoreem · August 2010

I work 2nd shift 4-12, its nice to not have to get up early in the morning since I'm not a morning person but it can get rather boring here by myself.

Green*Flamingo · August 2010

4 to 12 would be great hours. I'm naturally more of a night owl anyway. I could see how it would be boring though every night.

I'm lucky in that DH is great with laundry...but the other stuff, such as unloading the dishwasher...yeah, that isn't happening. How do people handle being pregnant and raising a toddler at the same time? Those women must have super powers.

I debating adding SeaBands on to my drugstore.com order.

mrsjanks · August 2010

From weeks 4-7 I didn't get off the couch.

Right now, I'm watching RHoNJ. Smile

Green*Flamingo · August 2010

I've never seen RHofNJ. Heard about it, but never watched it. They probably have people to handle their laundry and dishes. No fair. *pout*

eeyoreem · August 2010

Its pretty nice work as its unsupervised and they let me get away with a lot, but it is very quiet around here in the evenings. I work in trucking and not much goes on after hours, just enough to justify keeping someone here but not more.

Ad.Interim · August 2010

I'm right there with you. I feel like total ass and I KNOW I need to get up and do some stuff, but I just cannot force myself to do it.

The worst part is that I have a 4 year old that I am on the verge of neglecting. I reallllllly can't wait to feel better.

CutieBean79 · August 2010

Felt like crap so I sucked on jolly ranchers and preggie pop drops and watched the Bachelorette finale.

tarheelmomma · August 2010

I can't believe how absolutely awful I feel ALL FREAKING DAY. I am taking over as yearbook adviser at my school so I am at a "yearbook camp" workshop at a college about 2 hours from home. Fun I know, it's ok to be jealous. And bonus- I get to sleep in the dorms! I've had to skip half the sessions because I am so nauseous if I move I will barf. I have no TV so I've been laying here watching nonstop reruns of The Office while all the other advisers are hanging out, drinking free beer and wine until the wee hours of the night.

I just want to be home in my comfy bed cuddling with MH and my pup *sniffle* Ugh, whine over... BUT misery loves company so I am glad to know I'm not the only one

Green*Flamingo · August 2010

Oh dang, tarheelmom. That sucks!!!!! I bet you are ready to get back to being with your DH.

Definitely ready to not be sleeping on a thin vinyl or sharing a nasty bathroom with a bunch of strangers!

It's funny how whenever I reminisce about college with my friends and the great times we had in the dorms (we just did this for several hours on Sat. night), we always seem to forget all those wonderful details...

Green*Flamingo · August 2010

Ooh, the bathroom sharing! Those days were fun. Especially the bathroom cleaning schedules because someone was always a messy mutt and would dodge out of cleaning if they could.

Is this one of those super friendly let's bond type of summer camp? I was an RA in college and we would go back early to get a jumpstart on the year...I admit, it was fun. I couldn't imagine going back now though.

katrina_pharmd · August 2010

yup, i am on the sofa. and i am not feeling that bad. i had a scare yesterday and have been put on complete bed rest for the remainder of the week, except to go to my first OB appointment tomorrow. so, i am right there with you gals.

tarheelmomma · August 2010

Haha, no it's not a feel-good type camp. It's advisors (mostly teachers) and a lot of hs students just lots of information sessions! Looking back, I wish I would have been an RA but I was an idiot back then; clearly not the sensible, well-adjusted and uber-mature lady I am today (ha!).

Katrina- I'm sorry you had a scare and I'll send T&P your way. Take care of yourself!

stahlop · August 2010

Went into school for a little while today to set up one of my classrooms (I'm in 3 this year), but otherwise, the couch or my bed. Yesterday I was in bed all day. Today I alternated between the two. I also tried to eat dinner. I was in the mood for a taco salad when I was hungry, but by the time DH made it, I could barely eat it due to nausea. Then I got upset and started crying because I couldn't eat and then I felt bad. Poor DH. He didn't know whether to be mad because he spent an hour cooking, or comforting me because I was crying and feeling sick.

deisterwife · August 2010

i know how u feel. i think i sleep between 2-3 hours at a time and when i'm up i don't want to do anything.

Spin313 · August 2010

I feel like poo...these waves of nausea all day long are killing me. I almost wish I'd just throw up already so I could get a little bit of relief. I am a SAHM and I feel like a crappy one right now because I have such little energy. UGH!

YUH!!! i'm exactly the same. As soon as i get home, for some reason when i see the couch, all my energy is gone and i'm stuck there...stuck! i feel bad for my dh because he's been doing EVERYTHING in thouse...washing the dishes, cleaning, cooking, etc. i can't seem to get myself to do anything our room is a mess becaue of laundry that i need to put away... arrrrgggghhh. i finally cooked last night though and that was an effort. i cried 2 times... mainly because i'm lazy and because i couldn't beat the level that i've been trying to beat on the DS (playing cake mania 3)... ahhhhh... i was telling my dh that i have this surge of energy to clean for 5 MINUTES and then i crash!!! oh geez!

hopefully, once this whole thing is done, i can help my dh. he's been so great

take care ladies!!! i'm going home now...i've got a date with our couch ;P have a wonderful evening!!!
