My advice, order a pizza, or have something easy to eat. BLT's sound good and easy. Get a fan for your kitchen to help cool it. Can you put some of that dark film on your windows to help with the cooling? If all else fails, tell Hannah she's babysitting and go to bed early!orchard_girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09567387457704329765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8270568.post-13586833788190906072007-06-11T17:08:00.000-10:002007-06-11T17:08:00.000-10:00I am going through the exact same thing. Mind you,...I am going through the exact same thing. Mind you, mine is definitely PMS but factor in a husband who is out of town, a teething kid, another one who is naughty and the fact that I am sleeping terribly. And the same as you: I can't nap, either. Such frustration!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04135190793124857820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8270568.post-3175327927100198912007-06-11T15:29:00.000-10:002007-06-11T15:29:00.000-10:00Thanks for the tips!

That was fun! Maybe a crockpot dinner here and there would help, or making some casseroles and freezing them so you don't have to spend much time in the kitchen during that hot, cranky time. <BR/><BR/>This evening, I'm not cranky but feeling lazy after being so productive all day. A girl can only finish so many jobs in one day. I think I'll go read some Harry Potter as a reward (I keep toying with the idea of reading them from #1 all the way to #7, so the older ones are read again before the last one comes out. Perhaps I should start. One more project!)Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05766864638832719372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8270568.post-20093751863446453372007-06-11T09:43:00.000-10:002007-06-11T09:43:00.000-10:00I've been a bit cranky, too, but thought it was ju...I've been a bit cranky, too, but thought it was just the combination preggo hormones and a clingy 15 month old. <BR/><BR/>Naps (or laying down and reading a magazine -- I rarely fall asleep) work for me. Or, fixing an easy dinner, or more exercise... All those things would probably help.

I think part of my problem is staying up later and sleeping in later. During school I <B>had</B> to be up by a certain time or else. I'm trying to get myself onto a better schedule ASAP. Are you still exercising? I think that is part of my problem too. I'm not getting to the gym like I was before and I really miss that time alone to exercise. I need to find more creative ways of working out at home or wake up at 5:30 am to go to the gym before Scott goes to work. Ugh!<BR/><BR/>I hope that today is better!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13023817009212398947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8270568.post-37860849597076942572007-06-11T03:40:00.000-10:002007-06-11T03:40:00.000-10:00i get like that for a couple of days sometimes. m...i get like that for a couple of days sometimes. maybe do something small for yourself in the afternoon? sit down and have a few pieces of something yummy and watch a show? read a book? i do know how you feel and i wish i could snap my fingers and get myself out of that mood. i think the camp is stressing me a bit and so that is a contributor to my crankypants personality. seriously cannot wait until next week is done!!TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09831373324547267019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8270568.post-37901205389420374902007-06-11T03:36:00.000-10:002007-06-11T03:36:00.000-10:00When you lie down in the afternoon, don't "try" to...When you lie down in the afternoon, don't "try" to sleep. Just relax and meditate or do some spiritual reading. That may help. Sounds like you need to have that "time out".
