Hello working mamas!

I am very grateful to have the best of both worlds. My best friend and I share childcare - I get the boys 2 days/week and she gets 'em 2 days/week so that I am able to continue at my job 20 hours/week. PLUS, I have THE BEST BOSS in the world. He way cares more about me - and about my family - so much more than he cares about deadlines and such.

But - the back-and-forth of staying home with energetic boys one day, then "acting" (that's how I feel) like a professional the next day - plus all the weekly keeping-up-with-the-house - I just plain forget sutff and lose stuff all the time! And then there's those times when my husband is like< "are you ok? because you seem to be really out-of-it lately." And he HATES it when I'm "out-of-it."

So I try to fake it and not look so out-of-it! But then, underneath it all, I have this FEAR - becuase I am 4th in line after 3 generations of crazy women - and I get nervous that's where I'm headed.

So what do ya'll do to keep your sanity? I'm already taking lots of B vitamins, and just trying to get enough sleep....
