i forgot one thing. i dont always have the strength. sometimes things dont get done, or sometimes they get done half way. b”h i am not working for financial reasons. my husband tells me that i cant work at the expense of my house and my family, meaning if my house and family get neglected, i should reconsider working.
i try to get my kids’ things together the night before- get out their clothes, put everything they need in their back packs/diaper bags. dinner is NOT gourmet. occasionaly my husband helps out too. thats not to say that there are not times that im rushing in the morning, but i do try to minimize it.
also, if i get my kids to bed on time, theres usually some time between bed time and when my husband gets home, so i get to rest. keep in mind thats only IF they get to bed on time….honestly, how often does that really happen?
