Where do you all get the energy?

[paigevz]

Life is just so tiring. Everything takes so much energy.................I just don't have it.

I don't have any energy either. I do all the stuff that I've managed to get myself signed up for volunteer stuff, I get to the kids' activities, I cook, grocery shop, do laundry...and I'm constantly tired. My house looks like hell because I didn't have time to clean last week or weekend (I chaired a 3 day skating competition) and I've been busy catching up on the other volunteer stuff I didn't get done last week.
If you find my energy, please mail it back to me. It's been missing since 1994 or so.

To do what?

Obviously you have enough energy to post, with over 20,000 posts!!!! WOW


Are you having a bad day, paige, or just feeling kind of blue in general?

 

[Tigger&Belle]

Oh, babycakes, you know that I don't have any energy...now I know why you posted here and you didn't just ask me this question via MSN. Seriously, though, stress robs us of our energy.

 

[paigevz]

Yes, I do have the energy to sit in a chair and type. That'd be about it. Yes I am having a bad day, but that's pretty usual, hence the 20,000 posts............escape and vent....................but don't actually DO anything.

Sometimes I feel like I have no energy too. Then dh reminds me that I watch 6 kids all day, do side work for his company, work at my dad's store on some weekends, keep the house clean and cook dinner. I then know why I have no energy! Seriously, at the end of the day I am wiped out. By the time I have time for myself I just want to go to bed! Send energy this way if you find it.

 

[Cantw8]

I would love to send you some energy, I have way too much makes everyone around me nuts

 

[minkydog]

Awww paige Here, I'll fix you a cup o' tea and some gingerbread. I even have that squirt cream that goes on top. I know you've been having an especially hard time lately. Keep your chin up and damn the energy. If you're getting dressed everyday and none of the kids or pets have starved, then you're doing all right. If it's more than just a bad day, talk to your doctor about perhaps using some medication to help you get through stuff. You've got enough on your shoulders

 

[CEDmom]

Paige, I don't have any major stresses in my life so it's like comparing apples to oranges. I do know that sometimes when things get overwhelming I just have to let some things go and understand I can't be everything to everyone.

Don't beat yourself up sweetie. You're doing the best you can.

Mine is years of repressed sexual energy that busted loose.

Gotta channel it somewhere!

 

[Vivianne]

Another tired person here!

 

[momof3disneyholics]

My goal in life is to one day have as much energy as my kids.

You know what, Herc? I needed that laugh!

I lost my energy when I started the Peri menopause phase in my life. I need stong coffee to get me going then I better do it all. By 3:00 I am wiped -out.

That's a big part of it with me. Add in extra stress the last 6 months and now winter blues. These things are adding up to me being lucky to do the bare minimum. Today I'm not even doing that.


Paige, please know that you have friends pulling for you. And I'm always there for you...you know that. Have I told you lately what a good friend you are?

 

[Kitty 34]

Paige, I call it the winter blahs! I have it bad this year.

this how I wish I felt.

this is how I really feel.

 

[Evil Princess]

Tab Energy. Seriously, I've been chugging the stuff lately, especially since I have no motivation to do ANYTHING in the winter.

 

[Miss Jasmine]

Paige, I find my signature gives me energy. You are lacking a signature, thus the loss of power.

Seriously, some days it takes EVERTHING to drag my wretched body out of bed. BLAH. Especially when it's icky cold. And then I kinda just wander through the rest of the day. ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[hucifer]

The more days I hit the gym, the more energy I have overall. I'm 30 weeks pregnant and feel terrific with tons of energy...I blame that on being physically active most days of the week.

...that isn't what you wanted to read, is it?

 

[paigevz]

Well, okay, drink the energy drinksor coffee (yucky), go to the gym (that is soooo not gonna happen ), and I don't want the siggy back MJ, I kind of like being nakey.

Herc, I am not repressed.

T, no, you haven't.

Minkydog and Ced

I think mandatory naptime might work...........anybody want to explain that one to my boss?
