Pregnancy "Senioritis"

You know when you're in the last few weeks of senior year of high school/college you suddenly have NO desire to do anything??

Well, that's me. I cannot motivate myself to do anything at work. Even simple tasks like creating an outline for an upcoming project or, hell, right now I'm procrastinating scheduling a meeting. Literally all I need to do is send an Outlook invitation and I just. can't. do. it.

GET ME OUT OF THIS PLACE!

Is anyone else feeling the severe lack of determination to get anything non-pregnancy related done?

    YES. I am taking some terrible electives for my degree and I just can't do it lol I procrastinate and choose to watch homeland and scandal in bed and eat popcorn instead of study.

    I also refuse to tackle laundry mountain until I absolutely have to. I just want to sleeeeeeep.

    I love my job, but there are many things that popped up in the last two weeks that make me soooooo glad that I'll be on maternity leave in 70ish days. Somebody else's problem for two months :) And yes, there are lots of things (my timesheet) that are simplistic tasks that I am seriously dragging my feet to complete.

    Yes! I run 2 at home businesses, and I can hardly get the motivation to move the stock out of the living room! Our house will look like an episode of Hoarders very soon, I can feel it. I just want to eat cake and watch HGTV. Is that so wrong?

    I hear ya...I have a ton of stuff to do at work before baby comes, but some days my brain will just not work.  And I don't even feel that bad about it.

    I spent ten minutes earlier today looking at my planner and counting how many work days left until my due date (48, in case you were interested!).

    I know myself and I am such a procrastinator...I'm going to leave all of the pre-leave prepwork until the last minute and then I'm going to panic hardcore when I realize that the baby could come at any moment and I am so not prepared to leave work.

    But then again, I may not care by that point!

    I don't really have the motivation to get too many pregnancy related things done either. I just feel totally unmotivated about everything. I want everything to just be done and decorated how I want it and my work to be done and my son to be here with no effort on my part. Must be in my head because as soon as I hit 27 weeks and considered myself in the third trimester, I have decided I am too tired to get anything done. Unfortunately that was two weeks ago and I still feel the same. Argh.

    That's been me for a few weeks now.  To add to it today has been horrible, where I literally left a meeting to go back to my desk and start crying.  I almost didn't come back from lunch.

    See, I'm in the opposite situation right now.  But I know I will be feeling this way in a few more weeks so right now I am in office nesting mode.  I want everything in place in case I have to go out early or something happens.  I just want it done rightthissecond so I can stop thinking about it.  Only problem is that my body is not cooperating with me at all and I keep getting bizzaro illnesses and symptoms that keep me from getting stuff done at work.  Everyone keeps telling me to rest and take it easy and I swear, I have TRIED but my brain will not shut off and all I can think about is my endless to do list!  GAHHHH.

    I am mostly motivated at home to clean and organize (finding the time is something else) and personaly to work out and stuff, but at work?! No way. I've been doing nothing but the minimum for a while.

    I've got it bad. It doesn't help that after next Tuesday, I am off until January 6 (I teach at a year round school, so this is one of my long breaks coming up), then only have 6 weeks of work left until baby comes. I reeeeaaaallllyyy don't want to finish grading these darn math tests I have sitting in front of me!

    I feel for you! My house is a disaster. I'm hoping nesting kicks in for me before the baby comes, but I'm struggling to get out of bed this past week.

    I wish I could feel this way. I have a crazy long list of stuff I have to do before I'm out and only 36 work days left before my leave starts on 1/31. Dr put me out early w DD so I'm hoping that doesn't happen this time or I will freak right out!
    I hope to create a real siggy but first I need some sleep!

    Mom to Lily and Colin!

    I'm supposed to be creating a handover pack per client so my cover will know exactly what to do - I've saved files called handover pack per client, but they're currently blank and I have zero interest in actually getting started :)

    I was doing fine until my boss decided to change his mind on a long standing verbal agreement that I could work from home permanently after LO arrives....now I'm not sure I'm going back so don't really care what happens when I'm off!
