I am 72 years old, run my own sign & convention business, raising my 11 yr.old granddaughter (and her dad). Help my DH with his business, do most of the cooking, DGD rinses & puts dishes in dishwasher. DS vacuums once a week. I set aside 8:00 to 10:00 pm to do my own thing. Hair & nails one night, quilts most nights. I average 2 quilt tops per month, 1 finished quilt and 2-3 tabletoppers. No one is allowed in to bother me when its MY TIME. Try it, it works.

Make time you need time to unwind even though family is important you need down time. This might be a couple nights a week or a weekend to yourself while husband is enjoying kid time. I have a hard time following this myself but with a new job you do need to take care of yourself also. Mark your calendar and make sure the family is in on it. I use an online calendar called www.cozi.com it gives the family a notice on their cells if there is an important reminder or such. It is a great little tool this way they know in advanced it is mommy's time and will allow for it.

I had a lot more time to do the things I wanted to when I was employed. It seems like people that work a day job, are more organized. Since I retired, I don't get near as much accomplished as I did when working.
