Gotta Start Somewhere

So I've decided to be a stay at home mom. I was always frazzled and frustrated, and felt like it was impossible to enjoy my children. We've been out of school for a little over a week, and life seems more hectic than it was when school was in. Will it always be this way? Will I learn some skills to cope? Right now it feels like I have zero privacy, and zero time to myself. At least I used to have a "planning period" where I could lock the door and pretend not to be in my room (not that I ever did). I tried making the girls take a nap today so that I could have some time to myself, but Lily got up every 5 minutes to ask if naptime was over yet, and my time to myself was spent on laundry.
