Its hard to do everything with no energy...no motivation and not able to keep focused.
How do you ladies do it? I picked up a bottle of B-12 so hopefully that'll help. What do you use/do to be able to do everything in a timely manner and to at least a B+ standard?
is your vitamin d low? iron? if those are low you can feel low on energy. that and lack of adequate sleep, as for my house.....there really isnt expectations. just make sure things (clothes) are not all over the floor, dishes are done daily, for the most part toys picked up and bathrooms are decent. not very high standards. but its also just me and dh and our 2 almost 3 kids in our own home so we can set our own rules on how things are done
Jeez, need to move is possible, taking care of extra people besides you and baby adds extra stress to your body. People need to help out anyone who lives there that is capable of lifting a rag or pushing a mop.
I get more than enough sleep. I'm in bed by 8 and I read for about a half hour. I also make lists of everything that I need to get done.
You should also sit down with your family and ask them what their expectations are so that you're aware. Then keep an open dialogue going with them so that they know if they're expecting more than what you're able to do.
I would sit them down like PP suggested and get an idea of what their expectations are. I would also find out if they will be maintaining those expectations when you start school so that you know what you're in for.
If they are expecting too much, you have to talk to them about it. Regardless of your employment status, you should not be everyone's maid.
I know how that goes. I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatique and I have my bad days...like today, all I could do is sleep, I'm so tired. I just do the best that I can and try and work around it.
You are tired. You have a lot on your hands - and a BABY. We all are like that at one point or another. Tell them that you understand what they expect of you, but you're still learning and it will take a little while before you have things down to a science.
Then make yourself a schedule for the week. Pencil in schooltime, etc, and a list of things that MUST be done that week. Then attempt to beat the list and get as far as you can, but don't stress out about it. They will understand, they are pushing you to see just how much you can do - and if you set your standards super high for them, they're going to expect that much ALWAYS.
And Slimquick. I don't take it FOR the energy, I take it for weight loss, but I've noticed that it REALLY keeps you in a good mood and keeps you moving. Well that, and a lot of coffee lol.
