vitamin D

I have taken 5 vitamin-D 1000iu each and still am exausted. I can't seem to get up and get going. I promised the 3 younger kids I'd take them pumpkin picking after school, I hope they really don't expect me to do to much. I do feel awful that I don't feel up to the task.But what can you do.
