Tips to Keep You Sane Being a Work Outside of the Home Mommy.

The
night before work make sure you have all of your supplies for work
gathered and ready to go. Have your outfit picked out down to the
shoes and socks. Keep your makeup in a bag that only has the items
you regularly use to makeup your face. Have the kids ready to go
as well. Sign any papers for school make sure children have
homework, supplies, outfits, and lunch money all ready to go. A
mom once told me the best thing to do is have a cubby hole or
basket for each child and make sure everything the child will need
will be right in her designated spot. Place your keys in the same
spot everyday and always have a set of backup keys.
During work
try not to think of the chores that need done at home, don't think
of the recital on Friday night or how your husband needs you to
attend a work function later in the week. Focus on your job. When
leaving work, leave it completely, do not bring home any projects.
The work will be there on Monday morning trust me.
On your drive
home, don't rush and honk and scream at every bad driver in the
world. Turn the radio on a station you enjoy and turn it
up. Once you get home try to get as much out of the way as
possible, have any older children complete chores or fix dinner,
if you don't have older children enlist your husbands help, one
night give him bath time and you take the kitchen rotate the
chores as much as possible.
Weekends are made for relaxing and
fun period, no buts! Let the weekend be family time. The only
chores that should be allowed should be the laundry for the week
and of course nightly dishes.
