BEst advice I haven't yet taken...
Several years ago and pre-diagnosis a co-worker in a different season in life calmed my full-time working mom with a messy house fears. She said "you can't do it all." Her words were so simple but it was like permission to just accept that the dished may not get done... or the laundry basket may overflow and that in the end, it didn't really matter. Several working mom friends have hired cleaning services. I am seriously looking into this option as I want to continue working as long as I can. However, with a young child, I want to spend as much of my non work time being the best Mommy ever. So, with that said... I can't really offer advice on working past diagnosis (since mine was only about 2 weeks ago) but I can share the wisdom that was shared with me. "You can't do it all." Enjoy work while you can. Enjoy your family. The dishes will wait.
