I didn't know what exhaustion was until I was pregnant and trying to cope with a toddler who was climbing everything. I was glad to get to the hospital (to give birth) so I was able to take a break from the toddler. Oh yeah, then having 2 kids and a hubby demanding meals made while you're still coping with learning how to walk again after giving birth. Let me play my violin for you Lindsay. Great post Ilana.
