Things definitely get easier, you fall into a pattern and you basically do what you have to do. One thing I found I had to do when I went back to work, and I was just thinking about this today was to lower my standards for everything in a way. I don't feel that I give 100% to work, I don't feel I give 100% to housework and there are times when I don't give 100% to my kids either and I only work 2 days a week. It is a juggling act and something has to lose out - for me work and housework lose out and I focus as much as I can on the time I have with my kidlets. It is a big adjustment and I would say - enjoy now because things can change so quickly tomorrow and you will be fine. xoxox
