Recipe for Lassitude...

Ingredients
2 energetic pre-schoolers
1 chaotic house full of boxes
1 move (add cleaning and scrubbing to taste)
1 half-time job
1 week of sleepless nights
Dash of multiple emotions may be added to vary taste
(avoid anger as it can cause a bitter flavour)

Directions

1. Take all ingredients and stir into one tired mommy, let simmer.
2. Be careful not to discuss money issues or lawyers --anything stress related may cause the mommy to boil and burn --keep at a slow simmer
3. If the heat rises above a simmer, release the pressure using repeated "Help me God!" prayers --this should produces tears, lowering the temperature of the mix--
4. Place in pressure cooker and leave on High for 2 to 3 weeks.

Yield
Recipe should yield one viral bronchial infection and inflammation of the airways in the left lung, causing lassitude and prostration.

Bon Appetite!
