Losing the rat race!

I feel like I am losing the rat race!!  Didn't sleep well last night because the baby was up.  Crazy day at work, made more stressful because I didn't sleep last night.  Not enough patience with baby tonight because I had a lousy day at work!  I feel like it's been like this since I went back to work and it's only getting worse...I hate who I'm becoming!!  I feel like something is ALWAYS suffereing...my marriage, my time with my baby, my job.  How do I make it all work?  How do I find balance?  How do I feel like I'm not failing at everything?!?

I don't have any magic, cure all advice.  Mostly because I think we are all living this same scenario right now.  You just do what you have to do to make it work.  The older baby gets, the easier the night time gets.  I'm struggling with DD right now.  DS slept great at this age.  DD is so needy still. 

I really just wanted to let you know that you are not alone.  I really hope things get easier soon.  ((hug))

Thank you so much.  It helps to know I'm not alone!

I don't know how old your LO is but it really does get easier as they get a little older. I felt the way you do a lot during my first months back at work. I still feel that way sometimes, but it's not as bad. Hang in there.
