[quote=Anonymous]It's hard to know what advice to give you, since you don't really say what specific tasks you struggle with.  I'm wondering if you are just lonely/depressed since your DH is not around, which is leading to the feelings of being overwhlemed.  However, if it's really just that it's hard to get everything done, I would suggest:

Since you telework, you should really be taking advantage of getting things delivered straight to the house.  Groceries, household supplies, everything.  No reason not to, delivery is free if you do peapod and amazon prime.  That should significantly cut down on errands.

Cook big meals that last multiple days.  Make a big casserole on Sunday that can last until Tuesday, cook a bunch of chicken pasta on Wednesday to take you through Friday, etc.  If it's just you and a two year old and shouldn't be too hard to stretch the food.  Then you don't have to worry about dinner every night. Or just do sandwiches and cut up veggies or other quick things during the week.

Don't nap during your lunch break, use it to throw in laundry, do other chores, or get errands done.  Getting up, moving around and grabbing a cup of coffee will probably energize you almost as well as a nap would.

Most of all: ENJOY your time with DD!  When you are with her, focus on her as much as you can.  That will help you feel more connected and make the daily grind seem worthwhile.

Good luck OP![/quote]
