nne,

I felt very tired while I was pregnant, too. It's not unnatural. Other

than doing the eat, sleep, water, and exercise thing, I wouldn't worry about

crafts. You have a lot of life ahead for that!

That's so cool about your grandfather! I can't picture my grandfather or

dad doing that, so it seems even more awesome. :-)

Most of my crafting has involved getting ready for classes I'm teaching. I

teach homeschoolers and am doing glycerin soaps, a Christmas basket with

various toiletries, and a class on writing a research paper. I haven't done

much

else just lately.

Well, nne! YOur focus has shifted now!!! LOL They say once you get

past month 3 you get more energy, I know my early early weeks I was

worthless. Get up go to work, come home and go to bed. Next day do it

again. It was when I was preg with #2 that hubby had to take over with my 2

yr old. Cuz I just was sooo tired.

You just take care of you and the baby and the soap will wait girl.

What I've been up to lately

Hey, everyone!

Shaye asked how we're all doing, and I thought that I'd give an

update. I must say, though, that I don't really have anything

interesting to report! LOL! I haven't really made much soap lately

at all ... despite the fact that I now have a microwave in my craft

area to make melting M & P easier.

My grandfather, however, has been a soap and candlemaking

fiend lately!!! He's 80 years old and is trying M & P soap for the first

time. He's made some cool stuff. His candles are nice, too ~ he

used to make candles a long time ago and is now getting back

into it. He made some raspberry cream ones for my birthday that

were out of this world!

I guess that I've been in a crafting slump, maybe? Does that ever

happen to you guys? I *have* been working on my pregnancy

scrapbook, though, and I've been excited about that, but overall ...

I guess that I just haven't felt very energetic to make soap lately. I

get home from work and I'm SO exhausted ... I usually just relax

and watch TV in the evenings. And on the weekends, I try to do

some cleaning, running errands, etc. Some days at work, I feel

like I could just close my eyes and fall asleep! The biggest

pregnancy symptom that I've had is feeling pretty exhausted all

the time, and most evenings I just don't want to do much at all!

I am reading everyone's messages, though, of course, and I'm

hoping that later on I'll feel some inspiration to make some

soaps and things for Christmas gifts.

Have a great day, everyone!

You said it ~ that's SO how I've been during the past few months. Get

up, go to work, struggle to stay awake, come home, and go to bed. It

isn't strange for me to hop into bed around 7:30 p.m. these days! LOL!

Now that I'm in the second trimester, I *am* getting some of my energy

back ~ thank goodness. But I still get tired SO easily. I had planned to

make some soap and bath salts for this lady for a swap that I'm in, but

man, I just can't seem to get up the energy to do that, LOL! The other

day, I had visions of making some bath fizzies, but then I was like, nah,

I think I'm going to go lie on the couch, LOL!
