hi, just wanted to offer some encouragement, if possible, to say hang in there and we all feel like that sometimes. I think it's a matter of frequency and duration, though, as to determining for yourself what's tolerable and what's not. also, you don't mention specifics such as your age, level of fitness, etc.  i know that when i started having perimenopausal symptoms, i wasn't feeling very energetic at all. i looked into some herbal supplements like maca root, which has helped somewhat. there's a supplement called nadh as well, or NAD, and that's supposed to help with low energy while not having the same side effects as, say, a ton of caffeine (although I MUST have my morning coffee!).  another option is an herbal infusion made of stinging nettle:  http://www.susunweed.com/Article_Energy_Stamina.htm

having energy is a very multifaceted issue, imho, which takes into account one's whole being on a physical/emotional/spiritual level, and so i tackle it with a multifaceted approach. as a single mom of a young boy, in my mid-40s, i need all the energy i can get! i work out at least 3 times a week or more doing cardio SO THAT I SWEAT. sometimes it's a struggle to do it but i put on the tunes and go for it for 45 min. i keep hydrated. i use herbals. but i also nurture my soul...When i'm working, classical or jazz or other soft music is on in the background.  i give myself comfort foods, and yes, coffee. i do an email here and there in between notes or in the middle of one for a very quick break (case in point). if i'm low energy for too long, i ask myself why that might be, which it sounds like you're doing. sounds like you're overworked and worried too, which doesn't help. trying to find ways to reduce stress is key. sometimes for me it's a glass of wine, or watching my favorite show once a week for a treat. whatever is FUN for you is key.

again, just my humble opinion, but it's something i've dealt with often, and these are ideas that have worked for me, including a "gratitude list" on occasion, or a gripe list, whatever feels right at the time!

Good luck!

For some time I have been wanting to do animal rescuing but had no idea how to start. I personally rescued a little doggie and after knowing I had no place to keep her, adopted her out to a person who does rescuing and got my dreams answered. The lady is supposed to get her license soon to rescue in the state- right now she works as an extension of a humane society. When she gets her license to rescue will cost nothing to pull out animals that are sometimes put down. I am going to get 3 doggies tomorrow, a mother and 2 puppies. Some of the puppies already adopted out and when the other 2 gone, the mother is put down. This is something I have had in my heart for quite some time and finally able to do something now. I can finance 3, 4 or 5 per month and then in return they will find them good homes.  My wishes are coming true.

The very public saga of octuplet mom Nadya Suleman has taken a lurid turn.

According to TMZ.com, Suleman has been offered $1 million by major porn distributor Vivid Entertainment to star in a porn movie.

Suleman became the subject of heavy scrutiny after the birth of the octuplets last month, after it was revealed that she already had six children. All 14 were conceived through in-vitro fertilization.

Vivid told TMZ that the company will give her family full medical and dental insurance if she becomes a "contract girl." According to the celebrity gossip Web site, that would mean Suleman would have to do "multiple videos."

TMZ said there was no word on whether Suleman was considering the offer.

Meanwhile, Suleman appears to have bigger worries than taking care of her 14 children.

Talk show host Dr. Phil McGraw said that she may have to prove she can handle the load, or else have hospital officials withhold her newborn octuplets.

McGraw said the 33-year-old unemployed mother called him Tuesday. She was distraught that Kaiser Permanente officials told her they were concerned about the babies living at her home near Los Angeles.

Property records show Suleman's mother is more than $23,000 behind on mortgage payments and the home is under threat of foreclosure.

Kaiser officials won't comment on Suleman's case.

Suleman has taped two episodes of McGraw's "Dr. Phil" show.

What do you think about the latest round of eliminations? Who do you think will win?

I think it will be Todd because he is so energetic and good-looking and he also is a very creative designer.

Other opinions?

and I'm sorry your mom is not well.  I will keep both of you in my prayers. 

I hope tomorrow is a better one for all of us. 

Ever see the movie "Clueless?"  There's this GREAT line where the father tells this boy that if he doesn't have his daughter home safe and sound at the end of the date, "I got a .45 and a shovel, I doubt anyone would miss you." 

Freakin' kills me! 

cause it's easier to shovel than that heavy wet snow....Do you shovel or does someone else do it for you?    Cat
