I am so freakin tired!!!

As it comes to the end of another quarter, the end of the first six months of the year, the end of school term, I have found myself to be sooooo tired!

With tiredness comes frustration, emotional eating, irritability, impatience, insomnia and the feeling of it all being too much. As a mother, we never really get to just "sit" and do nothing, there is always something going on or someone needing us.

If you are feeling the same way this week, here are some suggestions to pep you up and enjoy the rest of your week:

• Go the movies with your girlfriends and see a funny movie - Bridesmaids (current movie at the moment) will make you laugh
• Start taking B12 vitamins (mine have just run out, no wonder I am tired). This is an awesome vitamin to give you extra energy
• Drink at least 1.5 litres of water per day
• Go for a walk alone around the block in the fresh air - even 10 minutes
• Enjoy a lavender bath with a magazine (I am on my way now!)
• Have an early night
• Eat energy foods - lots of fresh fruit and veggies
• Cut down on caffeine and try the herbal teas
• Go to Hawaii on your own for 10 days and do nothing but drink cocktails and lay by the pool (sorry, I was dreaming!)
• Have more sex (I am fine thanks)
• Take ginseng supplement or tea

Well, there you have it! Let's unite and try at least on of these suggestions and see if it makes a difference....
