R...I totally understand where you are coming from. Remember your needs too... the rest gets done, whenever... I am a single Mom of two. If my kids are fed, clean, and have something to wear to school the next day, I consider it successful day. If I get the time to sit and knit, that is ice cream on the cake.<br /><br />It does get easier. Don't think of the big picture when you get home (I used to be on the way home and think... OMG! Tonight is soccer night and I have to get this load of laundry done and what will I make for dinner and will we have time for my son to study for his math test, etc. etc.). I learned to blank my mind out and read a good book and learn to relax. Or else I always thought I was running a marathon and got angry at the bus driver for being two min. late and angry at the driver in front of me because he/she was too slow or cursing the traffic lights when they turned red. On the bus I read... when I pick up my car at the bus station, I put on good relaxing music to drive home to. Then when I get home, I hug the kids and listen to them chat about their day. A happy Mom is much better than a stressed out one when you get home. You can focus better on what needs to be done.<br /><br />I promise... it will get easier.<br /><br />KimSarcasticKlickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07625696774203664581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18444369.post-72084782638929652682009-11-02T21:10:58.143-05:002009-11-02T21:10:58.143-05:00This is usual for new moms going back to work.

The hard lesson is that certain things don't have to be perfect just good enough. Luckily you are getting sleep. Imagine trying to function on 2-3 hours of sleep.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05906902614487167431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18444369.post-10239759852446657442009-11-02T17:51:58.146-05:002009-11-02T17:51:58.146-05:00It does get better.

You'll find a schedule that mostly works for you, and Little Pea will also get easier to manage (although in some ways harder).Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03658570531652539325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18444369.post-81655449784716365392009-11-02T04:21:08.249-05:002009-11-02T04:21:08.249-05:00Well done on making it through the past months!

I remember that mad rush, on still very broken nights, and to be honest, I was very worn out. Then I got used to it, then I got more sleep, and finally, I got my life back.cartsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443437791014670129noreply@blogger.com
