Ask:
I am finding myself behind on everything and feeling like I have no time for me or the kids. I am working briefly right now, but usually don't. I have two listings (I sell real estate) that kind of came to me and I couldn't turn them down. So, the work takes priority right now, even though I hate it. Do you get up at a certain time each day? Get a list of things done before the kids get up? It seems like I can't get anything done once they get up, but I'm not spending the quality time with them I want to.
It should get better once school starts as we leave the house at 7:30 am and I'm back by 8:15-8:30. I shower before we leave so that's done. Then I can concentrate on everything else.
Do you hold off on doing fun stuff until everything else is finished?
