As tired and frustrated as you are, I must say it will get better. You learn to adjust and you do make it all happen. I'm not sure how we do it, and some days I break down in tears! But both Ryan and I keep active workout schedules, watch our favorite TV shows, cook dinner, yard work (all Ryan), shopping, etc...all while both working full time, commuting for an hour each way and still getting what I think is great quality time with the babe (toddler). And as you feel lucky to be done at noon, for me, it is my Mama-Ty-Fridays that keeps me going. That, and weekends! Ours are still usually busy, but we now love including Ty in any activity. (However, still get those date nights and adult fun in!!)<br /><br />Is it easy? No. But does it get easier? Yes. We are currently in a phase where Ryan and I usually don't get to eat until after Ty goes to bed after 7:30. One of us is feeding him while the other changes for the gym and we no longer eat all three at the same time. This drives me crazy. But...we make it work.<br /> <br />I know we didn't have it all down right away, but we got there...just as you will!! Hang in there! and seriously, let's walk...with wine.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09360836201998101095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9154551621055817860.post-63936336460786375542010-08-30T12:43:05.967-06:002010-08-30T12:43:05.967-06:00Elaine - You sound like every other working mom th...Elaine - You sound like every other working mom that I know. O is almost 27 months old and to be completely honest I am still tired almost every day. But it's true that you will get into some sort of routine and you will get used to it. It may take a while but it will get easier. Trust me. <br /><br />I was a complete mess the first few months after I went back to work - emotional, hormonal, O was getting sick so I'd have to leave - it was just a mess. But it gets better. Really. <br /><br />I think you are doing the right thing in making sure that you have time for yourself by going to the gym. You have got to make sure you keep that up. It will help you maintain your sanity. Ask for help when you need it. You have lots of people around that are more than willing to help. Maybe one day when you get off work go home and nap before you get Paul. (I know! The horror! The GUILT!) It's worth it. Really. =) You'll be a better mom for it.<br /><br />I probably should have just sent you an e-mail.J, B, O, J & Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11443621793199573275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9154551621055817860.post-73577775489850316192010-08-29T18:50:41.259-06:002010-08-29T18:50:41.259-06:00it will get better. remember how tired you were wh...it will get better. remember how tired you were when he first got home and we said it will suck for three weeks...everything sucks for 3 weeks. thats still happening. <br /><br />i think other people stop cooking homemade food and stop going to the gym. :(Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13238067059574997031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9154551621055817860.post-2416493596324613662010-08-29T11:29:53.675-06:002010-08-29T11:29:53.675-06:00I know you said you're tired, but it sounds li...I know you said you're tired, but it sounds like you're doing an amazing job!Ms. Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04663456885188973274noreply@blogger.com
