High Maintenance Mom

It amazes me how many misconceptions I had about being a working mother. I always knew it was hard, required time balancing, and who knows what to do about cooking, but geez. Now everyday I can hardly wake up. I was never organized before, how can I do it now? I am going to have to put my life (did i ever have one? oh right I was a graduate student...) on hold or embrace this new need to start sleeping at eight pm requirement. WHO does that? It is absurd.
