Walking around half asleep can cause some interesting events from time to time.<BR/><BR/>Unless someone has stayed home with a child, they don't understand how much time and energy it really takes.

I always feel a bit lame when my husband gets home and takes one look around our trashed place and says; "What did you do all day?" with a somewhat confused look on his face because I look as if I must have worked exceedingly hard I'm so exhausted. The playing is fun but it does leave you a bit lacking in the energy area I agree. <BR/>Oh and don't go having another baby...this pregnancy thing is all the more tiring whilst chasing a little one around!
