Mummas do you ever get used to the tiredness of working and just needing to keep going when you get home?

I keep going till the kids are in bed, otherwise I'd just sit on the couch and stay there lol
I find I need to have a few early nights each week or I fall in a hole

You do fall into a rhythm. And you find out what your partner can do, what can wait until the weekend, and what doesn't actually need to be done as often as you think it does

Yes agree with peanutter, I am not sure you get over the tiredness but you do work out so the tiredness doesn't seem so all consuming. (mind you I do very little housework stuff so is just about the kids till bedtime and then is chill time normally - our floor has not been mopped in months, nothing bad has happened, it will get done at some point - probably the day before my mum arrives :-))
I hate my job! Is nothing to do with being a mum or the distance have to travel is just me and it are not suited - I am not very good at being dispassionate about it and I need to believe in what I am doing to do a good job, and what they are doing is nonsense and is like stepping back 30 years. I am counting down the days till Christmas, and hoping they don't renew - because if they do I would have to take it for financial reasons. I am half hoping they give me the boot!
I miss being able to read BB etc on the train on the journey - I love my audiobooks but I feel very disconnected as I don't get that travel time, and at work have no reception so I can't even look at anything at lunch time etc.
I am very good at compartmentalizing which has its benefits, but I find that I don't think about home or the kids at all when I am at work, and then am surprised to discover am meant to be going to a hearing appointment, or have paid some bill or other. I need to make sure I use my lunch break or something to get ahead with home stuff, but although I plan to and make lists etc, I am so in work mode that it gets to lunch time etc and I completely forget and the day has gone and I haven't called whoever was meant to etc etc. DH does his fair share, he is less work focused than me so always manages to get things done. You would think when I don't even like my job I would be able to switch off from it for 10 mins to do some little home tasks wouldn't you :-)
