Zoo Keeper or Mom? Is there a difference?

So, being a stay-at-home mom has its perks, but it also has it's downfalls. I feel a robot with my everyday duties and chores. I am not the typical housewife, in the sense that my fiance does most of the cleaning :) I have a great support system here at home but there are times when I feel like I am running a circus!! My children are very sweet little boys that make me laugh all of the time, but they are CONSTANTLY into everything. Each day I change approximately 15 diapers, give 2 baths, refill 4 bottles and sippy cups, prepare 3 meals, and deal with my own company and school work. Along with all of my daily duties I am removing kids from the tops of furniture, cleaning up spills and messes, and taking in around 3 hours total of crying and whining. I have two boys that are 15 months apart so I also find myself being a referee all day long. This past week another earthquake hit Japan :( This is a tough subject for me because my paternal grandmother is full blood japanese and my dad was born and raised there. While my grandma lives here in the United States, some of her family, including her sister still live in Japan. So my prayers are with everyone in Japan this week and I hope that things begin to look up for them. I am also praying that this week runs a little smoother around my crazy house :)
