FL: Chances are you will get used to it over time. I remember first going back to work, I wondered how I would do it, but overall I found it invigorating in its own way. I do tend to suffer from depression, for ME that meant it was not good for me to be home with just the kids and able to procrastinate over getting anything done, it also left my mind free to dwell on the trivial. So for me going back to work, it helped take my mind off some of the smaller matters, it means I can't procrastinate as much about getting house work done. Yes, I do get tired and over it, some weeks I just feel on auto pilot, but overall working is positive for me and therefor the family I have had my panicy moments, dealing with the kinder scenario in the lead up to this year had me stressed out of mind, but it all ended up falling into place thankfully.
