oh so tired.

Lately it seems to be harder and harder to get anything done. Constantly tired and feeling rubbish for no reason, even when I take care of myself better than I have in a long time, I eat well, exercise, sleep as much as possible. In the morning I feel fine in work for about two hours and then hit a slump and can't shake it at all. Now I have started bruising badly from minor blows and bumps and just don't feel like myself at all. The other day I was carrying my daughter's changing bag on my shoulder and bent down to pick something up and the bag slid down my arm and caused a bruise the size of a matchbox ( and shape) which turned black in seconds and looks like something you get when you get the life kicked out of you. 

I've started going to the gym in the mornings before work, so I have to get up at 6.30 to get there for 7 a.m. and for a while I feel much better for it, but then I get so tired again and by the time I get home I'm near collapsing point.

So tomorrow I'm phoning the doctors to see if I can get a bloodtest taken, the only thing I can think of is some sort of a deficiency or anemia. Hopefully I find out what is causing this so I can get back to feeling normal again. :)

Sunday is the baby's first birthday party! She turned 1 on tuesday and we spent the day together as a family and opened some pressents and played with her new toys and things. She's so spoiled already! From her grand parents ( my in-laws) she got a trike and a sandbox which has a lid that can also be used as a paddlingpool, she loves it all! Hopefully the weather will be nice for the weekend, as it has gotten colder again after having a gorgeous week last week. Today I actually had to wear a scarf again! We have a big garden party planned for her with all her friends and ours, with lots of party foods and a bouncy castle nad ,ots of fun things to play with. I'm so excited! Just seeing everyone gather around to celebrate her is gonna be amazing for me, that's the main thing I'm looking forward to and seeing her enjoy herself!

Saturday night I need to get all the food shopping done for the party and finish decorating the cake. The sponge is already made and I have to say, I don't think I have actually made one since leaving college. It turned out really good, hopefully it tastes just as nice. We shall have to wait and see on sunday.

Now I will get back to the couch to cuddle up to my lovely husband and quite possibly fall asleep with him running his fingers through my hair, aw bliss...
