Anyone else feel like they need a break?

dobrydney · September 2013

First off, I don't mean a break from being pregnant. I really don't mind it at all, I love feeling LO move and can suck up the aches and pains etc. It is what it is and I knew (somewhat) what I was getting into.

I mean a break from EVERYTHING else! I guess I'm just getting to that point (30w) where I'm starting to slow down physically...and mentally some days. It's making it harder to focus at work, everything is getting on my nerves (I want to TP basically everyone), and I just want to lay in bed and eat donuts all day! DH and I have had so much going on lately that it hasn't been possible, I feel like more stuff is getting added to the list than is getting checked off and it's driving me insane! End rant/whine. :-)

Absolutely! I've been super busy with work and just today my boss decided it was best if I made the training notes for whoever takes over for me while I'm out. I'm working as many hours a week as I can handle while work is allowing us the OT (figured I'd make the extra $$ while I can). DH has also been super busy with work. We've also had a lot going on outside of work (baby shower, 2 birthday parties, charity walk and my parents coming to visit) and we still need to pick up a few things and do some things around the house and I'd feel better if they were just done now but we don't have the time. I wish I had a week to just sleep and do what I feel needs to be done. And I keep making more lists instead of crossing things off the ones I have made. AHHHHHH!!!!!

YES - I am so done with everything except eating, sleeping, and feeling my girl kick.
My husband has reached panic level and we still have (approximately) nine weeks to go. I just don't have the energy to deal with him. He is stressing me out. We are supposed to go away next weekend, and I kind of want him to go without me.....
I would like a week with the Lifetime channel, my PJs, and my couch.

I'm so done with the packed schedules. Not only is there always something going on ( SIL bridal shower, wedding, anniversary parties, family visiting, etc) my dad and dh are supposed to tear apart my stairs going to the basement and a few walls in ds1 room and our room before lo is here.. So far no definite date. .. ugh

fiddlefern · September 2013

YES! I was so thankful when DH gave me the morning off on Sunday and I got an hour to myself to get a pedi. I'm really hoping to get some time off Saturday to get a massage, but we'll see. I may be pushing it.

ABSOLUTELY! I am having the hardest time focusing on my work duties. All I want to do is veg and be pregnant. Sadly, I'm working up until I go into labor so I can save all of my maternity leave time for after Peanut is here.

I just feel like our weekends are constantly JAM PACKED. I need to start scheduling at least one day a weekend minimum for me to just lay and BE and do nothing...which I believe I can do starting the first week in October. I know I should probably do all my running around now while I have SOME energy and motivation. I just don't want to.

krm112013 · September 2013

YES! Between work and our weekends packed with weddings lately, I'm over it! I'm hoping October quiets down...

JamieCallow · September 2013

Oh heck yeah!! I feel your pain!! DH
and I are moving in just 2.5 weeks and just when I think I have it all under control something else gets added to my plate...good Lord I don't think it will ever end:) Luckily this is my last full week of work before I become SAHW/SAHM:) I am very excited and thankful to get to have a pretty long break before LO gets here, except for having to unpack all our stuff and organizing our new home since DH will not be there during the week with me.

dobrydney · September 2013

Thanks everyone for making me feel like less of a whiny bitch! :-) I wish I could magically insert a week into my schedule, get a bunch of shit done, and then continue on as normal!

MannaPants · September 2013

Oh my gosh, yes. I am still working (whispers: putting in my 2 weeks today though =D), I have clinicals, grad classes, and we have to have our house built by the 2nd week of November and so far we only have the dirt pad finished (bank is dragging it's feet on the loan). I feel like I am drowning!

Kfran84 · September 2013

I'm keeping my calendar for October mostly clear so that I can just sit on my butt in peace and quiet a couple of times before my whole life changes.

I'll also do some nesting things and try to make freezer meals. But nothing to the level of crazy that Aug and Sept have been for us.

artistlife · September 2013

If y'all remember I took a step down right as 2CD tri started. I was the boss and it was getting stressful and difficult to do everything, so I moved to a facility where I was in the same position but have a boss on site so I would be responsible for less. I was wrong. My boss has made me cry two days in a row because he is an incompetent ass. He lost paperwork that I laid on his desk. I am not even responsible for filling it out, but I did and he fucking lost it in his nasty mess of a desk. I have been having a problem with an employee and he basically tells me it's my problem. No, douchebag YOU are the boss. I can't write people up. You can. I have talked to employee and retrained employee. YOU have to take it from there. Ugh. I am so ready to go on leave.

PirateMonster · September 2013

Yeah, DH gets antsy when I get home and want to nap, like I'm depressed and/or lazy. I'm just TIRED. My commute is an hour each way and by the time I drive home I'm wiped out now. Still have 10 more weeks to go, and work will be craziness the next 4, and my weekends are booked. Bitchity bitch bitch bitch.

Abensinger · September 2013

Oh yes! Exactly this. I am done with everything else. I am tired after working a full day to come home to my family job of Mommy Dearest;especially when no one else cooks but myself and there are 5 people in my family.

lafsalot · September 2013

I could take the next month off but I want time with LO, if I weren't training a new person who will cover for me while I am out I would so just flex my time, wake up late, work from home and after supper each night... But alas, I need to make sure that the new gal is prepared for the craziness that is my work week. Told my boss last week that it absolutely kills me to be idle and to sit and watch someone do my work but it is the only way I can teach her how to increase speed, and prioritize effectively. If I give her work to go on her own it takes her hours to do something that I would have done in less than 5 minutes... Worries me because I work with pretty demanding people and the customers have to feel like they are getting the same level of responsiveness when I am out as they get from me.

Kim22 · September 2013

I hear you ladies, just when I thought I didn't have a free second left this week, I was woken up at 2am by a screaming 3 year old with a fever. Of course DH just left on business for a few days so I guess I got my break, calling out of work on the seventh day of school.

AlisonM12 · September 2013

Yes! Between work being crazy and I can't think straight at all. On top of all the parenting classes an trying to he ail lion things done before LO is here. I think I'm burning out.
