We have weeds. Not just weeds, but I would say WEEDS. Possibly even weeds from the gates of Hell. Not the weeds from Hell, because our next door neighbor has those. These are maybe their spawn. Not really sure.
Needless to say, the weeds are stressing me out. They are taking over our backyard, we have sprayed them twice, and while some are dead, many more are being "born" every day. I need to give these weeds the zero population talk see if they can keep themselves a little more chaste. They are taking a few too many liberties. It's not landscaped back there either. I called a lawn care guy today who said he had a great spray that would even keep seeds from germinating, but that it didn't kill grass. Not even wild grass, like some that we have back there. Problem is when I called the "weed control" services they said they only did commercial property and that their spray would kill everything for two years. Not what I need exactly.
So I am at square one. Tight budget, no tolerance for weeds, and much more to do in the yard beyond their removal.
And I am oh so very tired. The kind of tired that I am, I have decided goes beyond the normal pregnancy tired. I woke up this morning fatigued. I took a three hour nap from 1 to 4. I feel okay now, but how fair is it that I feel normal for only a few hours a day? I am going in to see my midwife today to have a blood draw so they can check a few things.
Hopefully they find something treatable.
If they don't, I think I need to start going to bed at 7 p.m. Because if I am going to feel like this everyday for the next 14 weeks, life is heading towards the the land of suckdom.
Any advice about the weeds?

We used - this. We sprayed, let it sit a week and then tilled everything under. Our backyard is growing nothing but rocks. I swear there are new ones there every day.
good luck on the weeds. Maybe they're sapping your energy too.
I love the abstinence talk you gave them!!
Honey - all I can say is "Senske"... www.senske.com $39.95 per application BUT, I PRAWWWWWMISSSSS you will see results. A couple of years ago our grass was actually the weed amongst thistle, dandelions, clover and the like, because well, the grass was in the way of the weeds. Couldn't let ANYONE go in the back yard without shoes. I was literally embarrassed to have people over. Anyway - it took one solid summer of work with a lawn care specialist and by the end of summer - our lawn was actually thick and pretty luscious green. It might seem expensive at first, but if you don't have time or energy to keep up with it - it's SO worth it.
My parents tricked us when we were younger--they made weeding a competition so we as kids would do it for fun. Maybe you can trick your two young ones too? :)
Sorry about the tiredness. I've had a stomach flu this week that makes me feel wasted too--yesterday I took a 5 hour nap and went to bed for the night 4 hours later. And I'm still tired.
:( i don't have any good ideas about the weeds.
but i sure hope you get feeling better soon! my fingers are crossed for good results and a quick fix!
In Quebec (canada) we are not allowed to spray any chemical herbicide (weed killers). Most of our neighbour's have overseeded (throw down earth and grass seed) I just mowed our weeds and for a couple of hours our lawn looked ok. Then those buggers popped right back up.
