Many questions...would love your wisdom

I can't really offer any suggestions other than try and take some time to yourself and relax. Christmas is coming and some much needed time off is not too far away!

For myself it has been an exhausting 2 weeks and I am looking forward to the weekend. Take advantage of your quiet time and do nothing!

One thing that I find that has really helped me is I have hired a house cleaner to come in 2x a month. She only cleans my upstairs so I am still cleaning the daycare area but it has taken a load off me! I do laundry during daycare hours as I am downstairs. I have quit being the mediator with the older kids and I try to let them work out things more.

I am feeling overwhelmed in that Christmas is coming and I haven't started any shopping and I have a huge list and deadlines to get certain things done. Today I woke up with a sore throat and a headache and hoping that I don't get sick for the weekend as I have so much to do.
