Drama For Mama

I. need. a. break.

These two little cute things up here have driven me crazy today. I need an intervention! So, please leave a comment with some advice or even some type of encouragement because I am really struggling today. Life as a stay at home mom is such a blessing. I get to see my boys grow up and I don't miss a thing. I wanted this job and I thank God and my amazing husband daily that I have the opportunity to do this... BUT -

My kids have been AWFUL lately. They wake me up by yelling at me that they are hungry followed by asking me a million times what we are doing, they tell me 20000 times a day they are bored, they do not listen, they talk back, they refuse to nap, they refuse to clean, and then I spend about three hours a night begging them to sleep. So, I am at a loss because I feel like I haven't enjoyed my summer at all. I'm not outside playing with them because it's the only time the house is quiet. I'm not doing crafts with them because i'm two days behind on laundry. I'm just constantly overwhelmed by housework AND caring for the kids all at the same time.

When the kids are in school, I do everything I need to do during the day and also take a break when needed and then once I pick them up, I spend time with them, help them with homework, give them baths, and put them to bed - then I have time with my husband. Now it just seems like complete chaos in my house all the time. If they are not whining at me, they are whining at each other. They cannot keep their hands to themselves and since they have been watching wrestling, it has gotten much worse. Blaze will start wrestling with Ace and next thing you know, they are full fledged fighting. All this happens while my husband is at work busting his butt so that I can be at home so I rarely tell him everything that goes on. In my dreams, I really think about what it would be like to have a clean house, kids in bed, and everything in order for when my husband gets home. He deserves that. He works 6-7 days a week and he worries about me, not himself. He rarely complains about working so hard or lack of sleep and he rarely makes comments about laundry or cooking or cleaning. He deserves to be able to call me and me tell him that I have everything under control here. I know that's what I want, but I have no idea how to get there.

Can anyone reading this help me? Is this too much to ask?? Please tell me we can fix this drama for this tired mama!!!
