can't seem to push forward, any helpful tips?

I've actually just started trying to write my first novel. I've written poetry since I was old enough to form sentences, but I have to admit this is very difficult for me with all the other distractions in my life. For instance, I work work from 10 PM to 6 AM 3-4 days a week, I have a 5 yr old son who just resently started summer vacation, and a husband who insists the house stay clean at all times and dinner be ready by the time he gets home. I hardly have time to sleep it seems much less write. I should be writing now, but I keep finding myself rereading and rewriting over and over. How do I make my brain stop worrying about what I've already written and just keep pushing forward until I come to a stopping place where I can go back and fix mistake or reword my sentences? Any advice for me? I've been stuck on the same 5 pages for 2 days now. Seems a little over obsessive even to me, so if anyone could tell me how to turn off the perfectionist part of my brain and how to fire up my creative side I'd be very appreciative.

 I pull up a blank screen or even a piece of paper. I don't even open what I've wrote before until I'm ready to add my new work. If I don't do it this way I end up doing the same thing you do LOL.
