How do you SAHMs get motivated? I’m home with my son all day M-F, and I can’t get motivated to save my life. I take care of all his needs, and have no problems getting him ready; and playing all the games 😊. The problem is with myself, I basically stay in my pjs until 5pm, and rarely do my hair and makeup. When he’s napping I should be being productive, but instead I just watch tv. I clean around the house each day, but I should also be organizing and putting my laundry away quicker. I’m also gaining a ton of weight by staying home 😩. Anyone going through the same thing, or have any advice?

Hahaha that sounds like me. I barley do my hair anymore and if I get dressed I’m going somewhere. I’m in my pjs too. I don’t cook dinner, my fiancé does that but I do the house chores everyday. I get those lazy days where I’ll let the dishes pile up or the clothes will be unfolded and still in the hamper. We’re moms, we can only handle so much in a day

I make myself get up and shower and get ready first thing. I try to plan out stuff for each day, even if it’s just going to the grocery store or the library. I make sure we get out at least for a little while every day.

Now that it’s warm, I try to do that also. Unfortunately, it’s been raining a lot lately so we’ve been cooped up.

My son wakes up at 9:30 everyday. I set my alarm for 8. I get up, immediately shower and get ready for the day, make my coffee and enjoy it, and pick up the house or do the dishes if needed before he wakes up. I noticed if I shower soon as I get up or put on day clothes I immediately feel more motivated. I get him up, change him into his day clothes, brush his teeth, have breakfast and we play for a little bit and while he’s playing I’ll do any house work. He naps at 1:30 so by the time it’s that time, everything except dinner prep is done and I get to sit down and relax while he naps. :) I’ll fold laundry on the couch or whatever while watching my shows to. There’s ways around it!! Make your bed when you get up, open the curtains, windows, set the mood for the house and day it really makes a difference!

If I’m tossing and turning and the babies are asleep (usually around 8am) I wake up and wash my face and make my first baby her breakfast and sometimes mine because I’m not much of a breakfast person. And they are usually up by 9: for their food. After than I don’t have anything to do my I get up and put a timer on things I have to get done while the babies are busy doing baby stuff or asleep. I like the timing method because I like to test my self !!! Can I pick up close and put them to wash in 10mins or less ?!! YESSSS I CAN 😂😂😂 can I vacuum the entire living in 10mins or less?! YES!! 😜
