posting again - need some advice or at least commiseration: any wohm's just feel like they cannot get it all done? i woh - pt and since db#2, i just am not holding it together. I'm sloppy at work, losing my train of thought, can hardly conduct a meeting, late on projects, etc. on the other side, my house is a mess, i can hardly get home to make dinner. I'm just so tired all the time i dont feel like i am enjoying my kids as much anymore. I just kind of suck at everything nowadays. help! [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I can commiserate. I have 2dc and feel like I'm falling apart at the seams. I don't feel as though I'm performing at work, but also have a million loose ends at home...and my children aren't behaving. So I know what you're going through. I feel like I suck at EVERYTHING too. No advise except that getting a wireless card for laptop so I can be more productive on my commute has been invaluable. And, I do take some time at night for myself before heading back to the work. If you can afford housekeeping, do it to stay sane, including laundry and putting away laundry. [ Reply | More

I can commiserate. I'm in the same situation, I find it helpful to set goals for myself...accomplishing a few nagging tasks does makes a world of difference in my attitude towards thinking I can do it all. Although, reading/posting on UB doesn't help with accomplishing the projects at work or the tasks at home! [ Reply | More
