Exhausted and no energy

[jaiden_z]

I come home from work and have no energy to do anything else. Even though as I am driving home, I am planning out what I need to get done at night. Nothing I plan ever happens.

It almost seems like I am going from one full time job to another.

 I'm fooling myself to think that once the kids are out of school for the summer, things will be less crazy here. They'll be even more wired than now... except that I did enroll them in a daycamp program, hopefully they will get plenty of activity from that, and won't be pressing me to do a million things after work each day.

And I am sick of watching "The Suite Life of Zach and Cody", "Drake and Josh", and "Hannah Montannah".

Oh, man... I have two tweenage cousins and every Sunday I go to their house to do laundry... I swear the world would be a better place without those shows!! They're annoying and STUPID!! Mindless CRAP! Aaaarrrgh! And, I'm sorry, but they're horrible actors. grrrr. Chin up though... I'm sure things will get better.... accentuate the positive and all that.... : )

Uhh... sorry I wasn't more helpful.... : P hope your day is better....

Do you have any time arranged just for yourself? That is vital! No matter even if the whole world was collapsing around you, you must have time to yourself once a week!!! At least. How's your spouse? Tired too? Helping you?

Rested moms are better moms.

 

I know how you feel. My twins are very energetic and with their special needs they need so much looking after. Last vacation time I made them a day routine (with pictures, they are too small to read) . They could look from there what was happening. And that was The Law. There was plenty of mommy time but also alone time. I gave them little jobs to do. From job well done, they got stickers. After certain amount of stickers they got a reward. Visit in their favourite animal park or something in those lines. It worked quite well once they got hang of it and saved me from insanity.

Anyway.  Get.Time.To.Yourself!
