This means we see each other for 5 minutes in the morning and 5 minutes at night during the week. So during the 2 days we get on the weekend, we are trying to fit in: Laundry, house cleaning, errands, shopping, projects, quality time together, and quality time as a family.

I'm exhausted just thinking about it! LOL

Hmm, I hereby diagnose you as suffering from "Small Child in the House Syndrome". Otherwise known as SCHS. The symptoms of this are exhaustion, periodic depression, and irritability. The only known cure is waiting about 2 more years and it will slowly abate. It will abate so slowly, you almost won't notice it. I must warn you, however, there is no total cure, only management of personal resources because once you have SCHS it morphs into other syndromes such as SKHS (School Kid in the House Syndrome). It will eventually morph into the dreaded THS (Teenager in the House Syndrome). Eventually you will end up with YAHS (Young adult in the house syndrome) or ENS (empty nest syndrome). There is no cure.
