heather,

First, you should not be sweeping under the table. You should let go of some of the things you would normally consider mandatory standards for your household. No trying to be super mom.

Regarding rest.

Rest is not a thing you schedule to do. It is an all day event. You need to avoid peaks in activity. Thinking you can take on a busy task with plans to rest good after is no going to help you heal. No such thing as quality rest if you don't get quantity of moderated effort.

You can make dinner if you can do it without the kids causing commotion or distraction. A well planned meal preparation can be fine. Don't try to rely on memory. Write down your plan for dinner and the things you need to have. Trying to depend on memory, especially as you are in the middle of the process, will put too much stress on you.

Whether you are spatially challenged or not, for the time being, you husband needs to hold his comments and be a helper.

He would benefit from watching the You Look Great YouTube series. The link is at the bottom of the Vitamins sticky at the top. The Lost and Found for TBI link is also worth you both reading. You both need to become informed so you can work together. It is not a take over tasks protocol. He needs to understand why you need his help.

My best to you.
