I'm so tired my mind is on the blink

Now that we are officially in TRIMESTER THREE (imagine you heard that in stereo with a booming man-voice like the guy on MoviePhone), I will spend the next month growing the wee pea into double her current size. You may ask yourself if one can tell if this is happening.  Well, only if a sudden total plummet in ability to think, walk, sleep and/or remain awake are signs and symptoms of that growth spurt.
three new levels of fatigue have been discovered in the last 7 days.
the least of which is...

COMPUTER of the TYPING DEAD
this happens when you are typing away and suddenly feel your head sway forward and hit the screen and/or keyboard. When you lift your head, you find a series of letters like this: "judddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd"

Next on the hierarchy of exhaustion is a personal favorite, unparallelled because it involves frustration, hunger and sleepiness all at once.

SANDWICH FATIGUE
Due to the ravenous nature of myself and wee pea, such effort and skill will go into making the Best Sandwich Ever that upon sitting to eat it, I find that no, I will no be finishing this sandwich.  Why? Because I am too tired to chew and swallow. Literally. This usually involves tears because hunger and fatigue have to then duke it out to either get through the sandwich or pass out super hungry and wake up in the mood of a hibernating bear.

In pregnancy, some people say that they are more conservative. They take fewer risks.  Not me.  I live on the wild side.  because I participate in...

SLEEP DRIVING
Not on purpose, mind you..  Let's be honest though: you never know when an attack of sleep driving is around the corner. There you are, listening to All Things Considered when suddenly you are waking up as you careen away from the guardrail you almost hit while driving 80 down the freeway. You might find yourself sliding into a parking spot and closing your eyes as you simultaneously put the car in park so you can take a nap before actually 1) driving farther or 2) exerting the effort to open the door and walk into your place of business. Hopefully David Bowie or Marketplace will have you back and wake you up in time to get where you are going.

I advise you all to eat happy, wear your seatbelts, and ignore incomplete emails, blogs texts you receive from this lady. Weariness could strike at any moment. Beware!
