Having A Hard Time Getting Into A Routine

I know it's only been a few days since I've had the internet up and running again, but I am finding it hard to get back into a routine.

When I was in Iowa and living alone, it was easy to work at my desk from 8AM to 5PM and before and after those times in my chair.

Here in Texas, I am now living with my sister, ex-husband, and nephew who requires 24/7 care. During the day, it's just the ex and me taking care of him. I have to get up at 3AM to turn him and tend to his IV, back to bed, then up again at 5 for the day.

Some days, I am very sleepy, as I am today. I have articles to write for other people, but just can't seem to focus today.

I find myself sitting down to write and am constantly needing to do something for Dylan, whether that be feeding, suctioning, meds, IV flushes, Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy or Physical Therapy. Maybe this will even out after a few weeks and we all get into a better routine.

I'm just feeling a bit frustrated right now, and feel as if my business is suffering. UGH.
