I completely understand having just enough energy to keep routine with a young child.
That alone is a lot. Bring in all the other factors of sustaining a household, maintaining that household, social aspects, medical, remembering if I did that or did I remember to do this, even with lists. Did I talk to this or that person correctly. Geez.

I have learned the past few weeks that 30 mins of nothing, mid day helps immensely. I habe been getting this break like 2 days a week. My late evening time with my family is less taxing on me and them since I am not in overwhelmed, overstimulated mode. I find just the night time routine (teeth, , clean up, getting ready for the next day) after a regular day leaves me incredibly tired, bitchy and just plain done with the day.
