Taking applications for a house cleaner, takers?

Exhaustion.  That is the only word that can suffice what I am feeling at this moment.  Honestly, I can't even tell you where it stems from.  Iron deficiency, maybe?  A friend of mine said it's because I am being lazy (I beg to differ!).  She said, and I quote, "You had a good night's sleep, you can't be physically tired, you're just being lazy".  Um, excusez-moi?  I just laughed it off and asserted my original statement.  Nope, I think I just haven't had a sufficient intake of iron (that is my story and I am sticking to it).  Okay, but seriously.  How do you working mommas do it?  HOW-DO-YOU-DO-IT? Let a sister in on the secret (please?).  My world feels like it's always toppling over me.  Work, dinner, dishes (somehow I can't stop the urge of hand washing my dishes, crazy, I know), I barely have time to sleep.  Should I schedule sleep?  Like in my planner?  Soon I may have to.  Whoever decided 24 hours in a day was enough is crazy for cocoa puffs (I need like 30).  Everyday there is something left undone.  Everyday.  Right now I am pretty positive there is laundry to put away, laundry to fold, laundry to clean, laundry, laundry and more laundry.  It never ends.  Can you point me to the closest nudist colony?  The more clothes I wash the less I want to wear them.  I'm a bit extreme, and?  I am in the middle of reading two books and can't seem to find the time to finish either one of them.  When I do have time it is almost midnight (uber late for this gal).  And, to some of you night owls that may seem early, but, I need my sleep.  Particularly an uninterrupted eight hours (I hear my bed calling me now).  Is it really that horrible that I want a house cleaner?  I mean, like, I am at work five days a week, eight hours a day (life is tough, man).  Who wants to have a little get together?  Anyone up for lessons on becoming a domestic woman?  You'll clean and I'll supervise?  I am an awesome instructor, trust me, awesome.  Well, if you change your mind, let me know!

(And, even though that isn't MY bed, it is a pretty accurate description of what my bed does look like-every morning.)
