So much to do and no energy to do it!

I still have so much to do before the baby comes, but I am so tired and having such a hard time breathing! Allergy season is upon me early this year.

It seems like my house is so nasty and no one wants to help clean it. My teenage boys fight all the time. My husband has stayed sick...it's making me extremely whiney!

I'm just going to have to suck it up and get it done. I can't bring a baby home to this mess.

    That's exactly how I feel. I'm just sitting at my desk, playing on my phone lol. I have so much to do but I just keep staring at it and daydreaming about taking a nap.

    All our baby stuff is ready but I have no energy to clean my house today. Between the dusting, dishes and bathroom... Bleck! Can I just hibernate until baby arrives??

    Yep! I just got up from blissful nap. I had such high hopes for today. But when taking a shower turned out to require a massive amount of energy and I was tired again, I just went back to bed. Now, excuse me while I get some zzzz's.

    I'm so glad I'm not the only one...lol...I keep thinking I really need to get the vacuum out, but I haven't mustered the energy. My fourteen year old has decided to help a bit, today. He is washing the dishes.

    I have the opposite problem. I can't stop doing shit. Hubbs is gonna kill me. He keeps telling me to chill but I HAVE to get this house clean and ready for little man. It's so stupid too,
    It's not like he baby will know if my floor boards and corners are clean or if my weeds are pulled. But I literally have so much I want done and I can't seem to just let it be. I'm exhausted and my back hurts but in still crawlin around doing all this shit. Nesting is no joke.

    Yep. My house is a mess and I keep dreaming about calling a cleaning company to come out. I just want to nap but who am I joking, I'd be up in 10 minutes because the heartburn is too bad. I'm about to put my sheets in the wash so that'll kick my rear into gear to clean something and not sleep right?

    Yeah so after I commented I took out the trash. Go me lol! Now that toddler is down for a nap I think I'm going to try to clean the bathroom walls and trim (I want to paint the trim but keep putting it off).

    YASSSSSS ladies. I feel ya!! Luckily, my husband has been quite the dear lately and is handling so much of the housework. It's SUPER kind and considerate of him. Unfortunately....he isn't the **best** cleaner haha So he will vacuum, but not move any chairs so there are still tufts of dog hair under them. Or he will clean the bathroom, but not wipe off the top of the toilet. So then there are all these mini jobs that arose. I try not to say anything - after all, he is being SO considerate and is trying to be helpful! - but my Type A plus nesting makes it hard not to try to finish the job "correctly". Haha I'm a freak show and I know it.

    My husband cleans in the same manner...lol. He'll clean the seat of the toilet, but not under it or in it! Drives me batty! I cleaned the baby's cradle today and I'm really trying to clean my downstairs living room. The spiders apparently love the color of my walls because they seem to be everywhere. I'm going to have to spray peppermint.

    Felt the same way too. I've been too tired and uncomfortable to do anything, especially today. I've felt really off today and very sore in my rib area. Something just feels different.

    Bad thing is, school starts for good tomorrow, so I'm definitely going to have zero energy to do anything. The first week of school with kids wears me out anyway, much less at 38.5 weeks pregnant.
