I'm so tired all the time its unreal!!
I go back to college on tuesday, where I go full time.....
By the time I've finished college, walked to the nursery (its not a college one) picked the kids up, walked home, its normally about 6pm, by which point Poppy (6 months) is normally screamin because she's tired and wants to go to bed, and I have Alex, my 2 year old, crying at my feet because he's hungry/thirtsy/tired/wanting attention, I have to struggle bathing them both making sure they've had enough to eat and drink then carting them to bed all on my own.
When I've done all that I then have to sort out my own tea (I've been living off ready meals lately as I dont have the energy to stand and cook) my dinner for the next day, do a quick run of the housework, THEN (if) when I have finished all this I then have to contemplate doing homework which, with the course I'm on, is normally a list of a4 of things that need to be done, and being on and AS textiles and diploma in fine arts course, things are not as simple as just getting a bit of research!!!
That and with being woken up several times in the night by BOTH kids I'm constantly exhausted at the moment, they've only been in bed half an hour and I have had to listen to Alex 'laughing' to himself for the majority, who has now woken Poppy, who is now crying!!
I feel like crying, I'm not even back at college yet and I feel like I've got no free time to myself, I cant even remember the last time I was able to sit down with a nice brew and sit and watch a film without worrying that I'm not doing something!!
I asked my mum the other day whether she could ask all the old dears at her work, if one of them would knit Poppy a cardigan if I paid for the wool etc. and my mum so no, that if I wanted her to have a cardigan I would have to knit it myself. No one seems to understand that I literally do not have ANY free time to myself, my whole life seems consumed with everything else!
Sorry for the moan, but no-one seems to understand, I've tried talking to family and friends about it, but I get useless remarks or unrelistic suggestions, and I honestly feel like I'm gonna be carting myself off to a funny farm the way things are going ATM!!
