You are very lucky.  I am completely burned out between working, mothering, and trying to find some time for me, which consists of working out at 5 am.  I feel like I am failing at everything, the most important of which is being a good mother.  [/quote]

NP here, but I could have written this.  There are so many days I feel like I'm earning C's across the board and just running around putting bandaids on everything.

I love my job, and it would take a LOT for me to stay home, but I DO wish that I wasn't so frazzled at the end of the day.  Just to have a leeeeetle more patience with my three-going-on-fourteen YO.  If I could get someone to do the 15 mins of "leave daycare, drive home, park, carry kid and 34 bags of stuff to the house in heels, change, let dogs out, change kid b/c now she's peed herself, errrrrrgh"  That 15 minute period is seriously the worst part of my day, 95% of the time.

I saw/read/heard this somewhere, and I try to remember it to calm myself down...  Wife, mother, employee.  You can be really good at any two of them, at any given time.  But not three.  So today, pick one or two.  Tomorrow, maybe a different one or two.  It also helps me to remember that I AM still DH's wife, and he does still deserve some of my time and energy.

But maybe not today.  Maybe tomorrow.[/quote]
