How Do You Do It All?

K.J. asks from Birmingham - Hi! I need help! This is my first year to be a stay-at-home mom. I have an 18 month old and a 6 month old. I just cannot seem to keep my head above water with the housework. I am embarrassed to have anyone in my house. I do housework everyday and can never get caught up. I keep thinking that if I could get this done or that done, it would be better, but nothing helps. Any tips or suggestions????? I chose to stay home so I could spend time with my kids! In order to keep the house semi-clean, I have to spend 3/4 of the day keeping them entertained so I can clean. This is not fair to them or me! Please help. I'm going crazy in this pigsty!
