Calling all moms... I need some ideas/advice. I have a 1 year old and 3 year old if you could only imagine. I live about 45 minutes from my work so I dont actually get to sleep until 5am. My husband is off to work and my kids are up at 7am. I am starting to wear down on the cooking/cleaning/diapering/working. Sometimes they dont nap at the same time or I have so much to do I get no sleep. I am considering hiring someone to come in the morning 7-11 to watch kids and clean up while I sleep in a bit. Can anyone think of a better idea and if not then how much do I offer to pay this person 4 days a week. I dont want it to hurt my income too bad. Any other mothers dealing with this? Please help.

So, go ahead and research it. I know it's hard (my 30 month old did the same thing). But, screw the chores for the day...and concentrate on wearing the kids down. Encourage them to run around and play...and join them. Then, put them both to bed at the same time...and you take a nap with them. I know you won't get anything else done, but you will get a few more hours of sleep...and you'll be connecting with the kids.
