Back to work

If had trouble keeping up when I was when I was home for 13 weeks how in the name of all that is holy am I supposed to keep up with everything now?

We're gone from 6:30/6:45a to 5p - then it's dinner (jim cooks - I pump), dinner cleanup, cleanup from the crap I cart with me to work and daycare (bottles-pump-lunch). Then it's Colin's bedtime. When we come back down I've already laid his clothes and mine out for the next day, then it's lunch, daycare, pump and bottle bag packing time. I sit down here at the computer to do my last pump of the night and I'm lucky if I get to bed before 11 and it starts all over again at 5am. Some mornings I don't get to shower (twice so far) b/c it took too long to pump or Jimm took too long or the dishwasher needed to be emptied to get the bottles for the day (this morning's "no shower" reason)

This past weekend went faster than any in my whole life. Jim took Colin over to NJ to go to this farm he likes for veggies and esp. corn - they were gone 2.5 hours so I got the whole upstairs cleaned and 3 loads of laundry done. Sunday there were still 3 loads to do (oops - there's still towels in the dryer and it's Tuesday) The kitchen and Living room (that's the whole first floor btw) are still gross. I hoping I can do one floor one weekend and the other the next one. But if something goes on and we have two "events" in one weekend I'm screwed. Also - and this is my biggest issue - it took 2.5 hours I would have spent with my son who I don't' get much time with during the week to even think about getting all that done.


A cleaning person is out of the question. I had to borrow from savings to pay for daycare this week.
