[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its 9:45am and already I feel totally spent for the day.  My two kids go to daycare full time and one will be starting Kindergarten this fall.

I forgot some things my kids needed at daycare today because we were rushing out of the house.  I had to go back home and get it after dropping them off.  Then I was on the phone trying to coordinate a plumber.

I got to work and looked at the schedule for next year for K and there are so many random days off, so many early release days.

My husband's job is super demanding.  Mine is flexible but I still feel so stretched.  And then camp next summer...I can't even think about it.

I feel like every day I wake up with a to do list of at least 20 things and then by the time the day is over nothing seems done because 10 more things got added to the list.

I feel like I am about to fall apart.

How do working moms do it when their kids are in school with so many days off plus you are responsible for everything else?

Not OP... no, you need to think ahead and plan accordingly.  You don't want to be caught unawares.  For example, certain summer camps get full by February.  If you work, you have to plan vacation days around school closures.

Plan meals ahead; make as much as you can over the weekend and freeze it.[/quote]
