Multitasking makes me weary!

Being a wife and a mother of two makes my daily life fulfilling but very tiring. I stays home to manage the house, do the laundry, cook, prepare my husband's things, clean the house, attend to my children's needs and to do a lot more households chores. I'm also doing some money making online and I have a small toy store in front of our home. Oftentimes I'm caught in doing 2 or more things at a time, like cooking while washing clothes, cleaning the house while checking my mails, facing the internet while feeding my 4 month old baby, attending on my store while carrying my baby and watching my 4 year old toddler as she plays, and a lot more combination of tasks.
At the end of the day, I really feel weary but funny as it seems because I still feel complete and thankful for having this family that will never make my heart feel tired.
Do you also feel weary but happy?

Kristiane I can sympathize with you. I have a 2 year old and 5 month old twins. I have laundry piled high every day. Not a day goes by that I don't have to wash clothes. Normally it is two baskets a day. I sell Avon on the side and I work online at different places such as MTurk to make as much money as I can per month. It is hard juggling it all. Sometimes I am happy and other times I am not. I am really exhausted to be honest. My doctor told me that I was too overwhelmed and that I needed someone to come in and help out with the twins a bit but I don't have anyone that can. My hubby works and he helps out when he gets home but there is only so much he can do. I love my family but I think I need a break. A day of silence and sleep would be wonderful. I am happy but exhausted. Welcome to the club.

Women are really good at multitasking, You did all of those things for the Love of your Family. You are a great Mother. For sure I agree to the respondents above me, your children will love you for that.
Of course You must take a break sometimes, leave your kids to your hubby sometimes.. Go to a salon, pamper yourself, Go shopping! and have a wonderful dinner with your Family.. Priceless.

Have u watched Malcolm in the middle? If you haven’t you should because that there is what you are going through only in script form. You are a wonderful mom and one day your kids will thank you for it.
