I love how all of the advice I am getting is "do something for yourself that you want to do!"
If it were that easy, that would be great.
I bought a book of puzzles to do -- you know, the ones old people get that have crosswords and word problems and stuff in them. I thought I could do it, but I was wrong. Cannon just wants my pen and throws a fit so I have to put it away.
Cannon will also throw a fit if I try to play a video game, or something on the computer. He climbs on me and tries to get the keyboard or stand on the chair.
He throws a fit when he can't have my craft stuff.
He throws a fit when I'm in the kitchen trying to bake something.
I can't read a book because I have to constantly keep an eye on him.
I want to go for a run but I'm pregnant and my body isn't used to it.
I don't know how I'm supposed to feel like a person, I really don't. I'm always bored and sitting around. I hate it. The only places we've gone this week were stores and running errands or appointments. We went out to eat, but it just... I need something more.
I don't know how to fix this.
Oh, have I mentioned that he hasn't napped for the past two days? yep.

He is such a stubborn baby!! Eviee used to do the same thing. Never let me play games, write letters, or do anything at that without crying and screaming because she wanted to do it too. Hopefully he naps so you can do your book of puzzles :(

I take Joe for walks around the neighborhood, go to the local mall to let him run, play dates, go to the library and check out books...I know being pregnant makes it tough but Joe would be exhausted when we go home and finally nap! Being pregnant with one at home while working full time is tough and I feel like I have been a neglectful parent these last two months...I'm just so tired!!! HUGS

I do all of that too, but I'm honestly just really bored of it... heh. And mall trips are beginning to be too much stress. He doesn't play at the play area, he would rather throw a fit because he can't go up the escalator. We do that for awhile and then he wants to try to run into the elevator. He gets bored in his stroller too, but we are able to do short walks when it's warm enough (and it hasnt' been lately).
The library is kind of a disaster because he likes to pull books off of shelves rather than read them, so it just makes more work for me and it's not very fun. We have lots of books at home.
When we go to the park, he isn't interested in playing on the toys, he tries to run to the street so I have to endure meltdowns through that too.
I really don't know what this kid wants to do. :P

I understand. Joe went through that when he was Cannon's age. So.much.energy. It's exhausting!
Hang in there, it does get better.
This winter hasn't helped at all. Worst winter in quiet some time. I live in MN and it's been so freaking cold...I can't stand it much longer!
