When you're a stay at home mom it's almost like working on an assembly line. Everything you did yesterday and the day before, you will have to do again today and tomorrow and the day after that.
It's not as if once a task is done that its it's done. It's not even like it's a monthly thing. The bills do no all come on the same day the pot of money arrives you exchange decimals and call it good and put it away for the month, no. The dishes are every day. The laundry is every day. The toys every day. And it's not a 9-5 job there is always over time. There are times I will declare "It's Easter we will not do laundry today" and Dominic will look at me funny and start doing it and then I get all pissy and do it. Or I will say "It's Thanksgiving no housework" and then I find I am cleaning something up. WHEN does it end.
I go to others peoples houses and they are relaxing sitting about talking about books they have read, shows they have watched and their house is spring time fresh and sparkly. My mother points out that these people have kids older than mine and that might be part of it.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
God forbid you skip a day. I swear we will lose Joseph under a pile of laundry if I go 1 day without washing.
I love my coworkers just hate my job. Break times over gotta get back to work. Joseph has finished his lunch my little flinger... need I say more? Fire up the vaccum I am on it.

I've been reading your blog today during my breaks, and just so you know, you are not alone. In fact you are feeling almost identical to me today. I actually started crying at work from exhaustion, but mainly the thought of Nate's rapid breathing and wheezing we can't seem to get in control. My house is a wreck right now and will remain that way until the plague has left my house. All Nathan wants me to do is cuddle with him in the chair or he cries and then that sends him into coughing fits. Before that it was Amanda, before that Brandon needed me. It's all I can do to stay sane these days. So you are not alone my friend.
