One thing I did not expect while staying home with the girls - being SO tired! I secretly relished the fact I could sleep in while the hubby had to get up and go to work early, while the girls and I could sleep in, at least during the summer. In the back of my mind I also knew I could crawl right back into bed after dropping off the girls at school.
I learned rather quickly that being home with a 5 and 8 year old 24/7 is exhausting. We are going on week 3 of staying home together and there are some days we just don't get out of bed until 10AM; it's too much effort. Granted, we have not been great at keeping a schedule at the moment, and school will help that once it starts up, but I'm not sure if it's trying to figure out what to do or if it's chasing the kids around while doing the errands and chores that makes me so tired. My 5 and 8 year old are independent to a fault at times, so it's not like they are constantly harassing me to do something. I don't know how all the mothers I know with toddlers do it!?!? If there is a secret, please let me know.
