What do you do when you need a boost?

MoonMama wrote: Of energy? I am so tired Breadin hasn't slept very well due to his allergies....although he's starting to clear up. But I didn't get to sleep until 4am late night because he was up so much. Then he got up at 6am. He is WIDE awake so a nap anytime soon isn't going to happen. He already took his morning nap and I was stuck doing other things so didn't get to lay down with him. I have had caffeine, I drank some Emergen-C, took a walk, did some yoga and pilates, etc nothing has helped. But I am about to fall over sleep while standing the last few days. There is a ton of stuff to do around the house but I just don't have the energy to do it. What do you do when you need a pick me up?

I use to work midnights and take care of Annika all day. I truly know how you feel.

lisar replied: I have to go to work and sit here all day. I eventually wake up.

moped replied: Sounds like you need to just get some rest girl

Hillbilly Housewife replied: I just woke up from a 25 minute power nap...course dh is home though

luvmykids replied: I was going to recommend the Emergen-C, sorry it didn't help

MoonMama replied:
And it usually works.

That's what I do!

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: Well you already named a few: emergen-c, caffeine (I buy those small cokes), coffee. I also workout. I also like alcohol... Other than that, I think the only other thing is REST. I know it's hard, but it's really the only thing that will give you back your energy.

HuskerMom replied: I don't have any ideas, sorry! Hope you get some rest!

MoonMama replied: Brae and I just woke up from a nap, actually he's not up yet. But gosh after an hour nap I feel like a whole new person. Its amazing.
