keeping up.

Anyone else having a hard time keeping up. I work ten hour days and still do most of the normal every day mom thing  cooking,  help with kids home work. Baseball practices. The one thing that always seems to get away from me is house work. I try and pick up through out the week and deep clean on weekends but I am still running out of energy. Is anyone else having trouble keeping up?

So glad I am not the only one. I am 20 weeks. My son is 12 but would be really upset if I didn't go watch him. Lol  My son and his friends that live with me on the weekends do help out a lot. They have completely taken over my yard work ( which I miss) and carry my laundry. They have really stepped up as little men. I think all three boys are hoping its a girl. My husband helps out a lot he has taken over bathrooms and helps rinse dishes and washes counters. He works long hours too. We have always been a family that works hard and plays harder.  Lol.  I just hate coming home and seeing all the things I am not getting done.

Oh girl yes yes yes!   I'm 42 .. 21w and am exhausted nearly all the time.  I however only work about 30 hours a week, and my prior children are 22,21 and 16 so I do not have to per say watch them.  I'm blessed with a husband that really helps with housework. I'm so sorry your schedule is jam packed. Maybe have friends or relatives take the kids for a weekend or even a few hours.  I feel my best when I wake up but come around 12 I'm spent.  Take care girl
