Slothful. . . or just plain exhausted?

It's been a while since I've had a chance to post, and I was wondering what to write this next post about.  I really don't think my life or thoughts are exciting enough to write much about.  I am now 21 weeks pregnant and still nursing my baby who is now 14 months old.  I don't think he gets much from nursing except the emotional bonding with his mommy.   Mostly he just nurses to go to sleep and then to go back to sleep when he wakes up in the night.  I feel he needs it and don't have the heart to wean him before he is ready.

So what does this have to do with anything? Well, I don't know how many of you out there have tried this but as if being pregnant wasn't exhausting enough, not getting to sleep through the night while pregnant is even more so.  I have all these well intentioned goals, but when it comes down to it I'm just not motivated enough to override how tired I am.  Does this mean I'm falling back into my addiction? This is part of what's so hard about this particular addiction. I can't tell for sure if I really need to take it easy for a while, or if I'm just making excuses for myself. Laundry has piled up yet again, and while I've been doing much better at tidying up the living room and vacuuming, I have not been reading books with the children and helping my daughter write her name and things the preschool wants me to do as "homework".  I also have not been fitting in my exercise.  I was doing it during the kids nap time, but now I nap then too.  Last night my baby was waking up every 1-2 hours.  I think today will likely be a disaster as far as achieving my goals goes.  I so can't wait till my son is done teething!
