Aggrevation   

Relaxation, each day, is imperative.....even if its in short spurts...Buy some CD's/tapes to listen to while your driving between appointments and on the way home. There are a multitude of them.....Most places have a set up so you can preview them before you purchase.

Try Yoga for Dummies and do it each evening right before you go to bed or better yet first thing in the AM. It takes ten minutes and is worth getting up for.

And remember....That load of dishes can be washed tomorrow, as can that load of laundry. No one has ever died from dust on the furniture or lint on the carpet.

Simplify, simplify, simplify....I know its easier said than done, especially with small children, but just remove one stressor at a time and you will be pleasantly suprised at the huge difference it will make. AND anyone over the age of 3, in the home, should be assisting you in some way.

Breath, my friend, breath.....

It sounds like you're totally stressed out! Do you have a CD player in your car? Keep CD's close at hand that are relaxing to you. When I have to drive in the city I have my favorite CD's or a favorite station in the city where I drive that totally relaxes me and removes the stress.

Cleaning and house hold chores will always be there. With small children you should NEVER expect the house to be immaculate. If you're too tired, do the bare minimum that it takes to keep yourself and the children taken care of. Sit down with the kids; sing to them, read a story to them, watch cartoons with them and relax! Sort out the priorities and you'll find that the house is way down on the list. Allow yourself a short nap when you get home. Eat a balanced diet and add vitamins to your intake. Allow yourself "me" time, whether it is five minutes to read an article or getting a babysitter and taking yourselves out to dinner (even if it's just McDonalds).

The main thing is that you destress over the things that aren't going to stop the world if they don't get done. Dishes, dusting, vacuuming, laundry, the lawn etc are still going to be there five or ten minutes later or even the next day. Your children are going to grow up fast and do you want them to remember a dad or mom that is stressed out and frantic? I learned a long time ago that the house will never be immaculate, there will always be dishes, but there has to be time for de-stressing and stopping to smell the roses. It will make a big difference in your life.

You just love and take care of the baby anyway, because it will be grown and gone before you know it and it will break your heart when it is.. Babies are hard to handle when you are tired but you have to always remember that this little person is depending on you and you have to always put the baby first.. Take a few minutes and take care of it, when it is fed, dry and loved, it will settle down.. If you have someone in the fmaily to help, that makes it so much easier.. I always enjoyed my son, no matter how tired I was.. I loved to get him settled down and lay in the bed with him while singing him his favorite lullabies.. Don't let your tiredness make you miss out on the joys of being a parent, you will regret it forever..

well just listen to music it cools u down
