Where Did My Time Go?

Where did the time go? Where did my feet go?

Seriously...I am 35 weeks pregnant, and my life is so crazy that I did not truly realize that until tonight. The semester has started, my own classes are already in full swing, I am trying to wrap up projects and don't get me started talking about my 70 students online. Pregnancy seems to have destroyed many of my brain cells, and the swelling has taken a toll on my wrist. That is fabulous when one teaches and grades online as well as when one writes. Then...AND THEN...there is this nesting business. When I was pregnant with E, I "had" to do this. Now, I realize I "need" to do this, but I just don't do it. I keep telling myself I just need to catch up a little more and I will do it when I have a little bit more energy.

I am out of energy. I am never caught up, and I am fearful I will not make it to my due date.

I have no idea how to cope. Can't induldge in crazy amounts of caffeine, can't drink, can't kick box, can't curse...what in the heck am I supposed to do?? Sigh. The solution for tonight was baking brownies. It won't get my work done or make my house look nice, but it might prevent a cursing rampage.

I will help nest, make lists, and/or make brownies or other food to share. I was actually thinking about making cheesy cauliflower chili on Thursday or Friday morning. If if would help you to de-stress, I can make an extra batch for you and bring it Friday. Let me know (also let me know if you can't tolerate any ingredients now: for example, it has green chiles and jalapenos in it, but I could leave out if you want). Team Preggo needs to stick together.
