Danger Zone: Why am I so tired all the time?

exhausted

Ever asked yourself this question? So how tired are you? Do your kids get teased in the playground . . . “Your Mama so tired, the bags under her eyes couldn’t be checked as carry on luggage” @katesaysstuff via Twitter “You Mama so tired she called someone on the phone and forgot her own name” @Meggsie62 via [...]

Who’s taking care of what and whom? Huh?

Sorry for the confusing heading, but it was the shortest way of telling you what this post is about – sort of. ‘Take Care’ is one of my main themes that I rattle on about on this blog.  But what am I talking about exactly?  Well first and foremost my focus is on taking care [...]

Condition Report: How I’m really feeling

Happy Friday everyone.  I’ve made a vlog for you, and yes it isn’t short and snappy so watch it when you have a spare 5 mins, like now ;) Is it possible to be exhausted and energised at the same time?  If so, I’m a walking contradiction at the moment.  I’ve been doing lots, I’ve [...]

I’m linking up with Trish at My Little Drummer Boys for Wordless Wednesday.  As Christmas approaches I’m finding myself more and more tired. Here’s what this exhausted Mummy would love for Christmas.               What do you want for Christmas?  Are you exhausted too? Laney

{Condition Report} I ran away

My view as a runaway

I’m excited about my plans for Crash Test Mummy, but life is giving me a not so gentle reminder to take it easy.  The last three days have not been great ones. The overarching feeling is exhaustion.  Exhaustion that leads to me not staying on top of things.  Exhaustion that results in a chaotic house.  [...]

{Community} What next for Crash Test Mummy?

  For me, the answer to this question is a big resounding “No!” For those of you who have been with me from the start you might be familiar with this passage from my About Page:

{Condition Report} Coffee, community and a wee cry

New haircut

Welcome to my {Condition Report} where I let you know how I am and what’s going on.  I’m giving this vlogging caper another go. For those of you who won’t watch, here’s the general gist: It’s Wednesday and it’s 12.30pm in the afternoon, and as you can see I’ve just gotten out of the shower.  [...]

{Take Care} Take a mental health day

mental health

How many times have you said, “Ugh, I need a mental health day”?  How many times have you felt just so over it, so overwhelmed, or just plain worn out mentally?  If you’ve read my back story about my Adrenal Fatigue, you’ll know I’ve had my fair share of feeling like this.  I have a [...]

{Condition Report} Thankful for Hubby, Hootsuite and the Highlands

Hootsuite

Today I’m linking up with Kate for Thankful Thursday. I am one broken Crash Test Mummy at the moment!  On Saturday I herniated a disc in my back when CrashBoy unexpectedly leapt into my arms.  The pain was unbelievable, yet I knew it like an old enemy.  This is the 3rd time this has happened [...]
