When I am at work at the DA’s office things are pretty relaxed so I don’t have a deadline on my work so I don’t worry too much. It’s when I get home that it all starts again. Rush to pick up the kids, come home change for soccer, run out the door for soccer, come home make dinner, do dishes, give baths, make bottles, get the kids down for bed, take my shower, then try and relax. Oh man its 10:30 at night now, I have to try and go to sleep. Yeah right!
When I finally realize that I need to do something about my problem I would have to say the first thing I need to do is talk to my support system and find out what they do to manage their time and see what I can get for advice from them.
