Also I can't handle hearing kids cry! I immediately want to run over to them and pick them up to console them!!

Ditto! I can believe how patient I am for her. However, I have less patience allocated to DH and the dog, so I get very short with both of them, he he.
One of the big differences is how trapped I feel. I used to go to work, then go to the gym and take my time. I'd go to a yoga or kickboxing class, relax in the sauna afterward, or just do whatever I felt like. Evenings are so much different now.
Plus, I feel like no matter what I do there is a conflict. If I'm working, I feel guilty that I'm not paying more attention to Juliana. If I quit working early for the day to spend more time with her, I feel like I'm being a bad employee. If I do a good job at work and spend time with her, it probably means I didn't cook dinner or clean anything and the house is a mess. It seems like no matter what, something is slipping through the cracks. I'm trying to relax about this.
I could go on and on but I need to get back to work!
