There is always<br \/>\n    sooo much to do (cleaning, laundry, baby food, bills, daycare<br \/>\n    prep, grocery shopping, etc&#8230; ya know &#8211; LIFE!) and by the end<br \/>\n    of the day I&#8217;m just exhausted but there&#8217;s still so much more to<br \/>\n    do. I&#8217;m by no means an overly meticulous person or anything, it<br \/>\n    just seems impossible to keep up. During the day I&#8217;m always<br \/>\n    torn between sitting down and playing with the kids, or trying<br \/>\n    to get dishes done and the table cleared so when they all start<br \/>\n    clambering for more food I can be somewhat prepared. Sigh. Last<br \/>\n    night folded six loads of laundry and it took me almost two<br \/>\n    hours! Tonight I asked Alan to do bath\/bed for the kids so I<br \/>\n    could pay bills (and bitch on the blog ;) ) and he said fine<br \/>\n    but he&#8217;d need an hour or two to do datdec stuff afterwards. I<br \/>\n    agreed since I&#8217;ll need an hour or two to do everything else<br \/>\n    anyway. Life is exhausting these days. Ok, enough gripping, off<br \/>\n    to pay some bills now (without Quicken &#8217;cause we had a sad SAD<br \/>\n    data loss *sniff*).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some days I feel like I just can&#8217;t keep up, especially on those rare occasions (like last weekend) that we take a day off from the household chores.
