How

I have one question that both Doug and I ask ourselves a lot. Actually every night and I ask myself roughly every thirty minutes...How does anyone with kids get anything done?

I am an organized person, generally do well with time management. I am a focused person. And still I can't seem to get a blasted thing done anymore. Ok, so I can successfully post to my blog, get the dishes done, laundry, etc. But anything above and beyond the simple everyday tasks seems impossible!

I often have so many things I need to do that my mind won't settle down to do the simple things. Take for example this very moment. I'm attempting to write down a list of things I need from the grocery store and tears started running down my cheek because I can't even concentrate! So instead here I am venting about it to someone (?)

Many people say they get the extras done after the kids go to bed. Doug and I must be doing so much wrong. By the time our kids are asleep and no longer fighting bedtime, we do the dishes, check emails, finish folding clothes or tie up loose ends around the house, and it's already 10pm...which is our bedtime because we've got early mornings around here.

Seriously though, how do you do it?
