In all of this magic of pregnancy, I would like to petition God for an alteration to His plan just a bit. Why give us fatties in the third trimester the urge to nest and be super busy bodies if our physical bodies cannot keep up with the spinning wheels in our brains that are running on hormones? My to-do list will go down in history as an ancient scroll, as its about that long...but my tired back and cramping belly is really inhibiting my ability to cross things off the list.

I am playing a cruel game of Red Light, Green Light in my head. My mind is working with fervor, go, go, go. My body stops every 10 minutes to arch and stretch my back, take a breather and contemplate a sugary snack followed immediately by a mid-day nap. Hey, look at that, I've just realized its the middle of the day.... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
