@cornerstoneeg Different people have different energy levels. I've come to accept that I'm just a low-energy person. It's how I was born, and being born a certain way doesn't make me 'less than'. Life isn't a competition, it's about making the most of the cards you're dealt. Not everyone is meant to be hyper-productive.
Some SAHM's always have a spotless house and a home cooked meal every night, all while doing fabulous DIY projects and blogging about it every other day. Not to mention the working parents who manage to do all that on top of a full-time job. That will never be me. I remember watching one Q&A video from
The Daily Connoisseur where someone asked how she gets everything done with 4 kids. Her answer? She works when everyone else is sleeping. She's the last person to go to bed and the first to wake up. I need that sleep!
Give yourself a break. Don't compare yourself to other people, including your husband. Order pizza. Let the housework slide. Put Little Man in a safe place and do some things
you want to do while he plays independently.
Sometimes we're tired because we do too much. But sometimes you can get tired because you're not doing enough of what you love. I try to make a little time for my hobbies each day, even if it's only 5 minutes. I feel better knowing I'm making progress in my projects, even if it's really slow. Make that the priority over cleaning the fridge or whatever.
