[quote=Anonymous]Completely agree with all advice above re house and food. Let it go.  Buy prepared or semi prepared food if you can afford it.  The nights I shop, cook, eat as a family, and clean up dinner is a big time investment.  Some days makes more sense for me to spend time helping with homework or putting laundry away.  I also find cleaning in 10 minute bursts work better for me.  (During a half hour tv show spend 10 minutes dusting.  When getting kids into tub spend 10 minutes cleaning bathroom.). The house is usually not all clean at the same time but it is good enough. Feels organized if not super clean.  Realize also you are going to have a string of days you never stop from wake up to sleeping. Get a ton done.  Then you will hit a wall.  Break out the movies and pizza for you and little one and give yourself some down time.  You will get a second wind but need to regroup when you get worn out.  If you have time alone and enjoy it at all strongly recommend cardio exercise.  Helps body and soul.  [/quote]
