Frustrated Housewife

Sometimes I feel highly underappreciated. Every day I get the kids together, make their lunches, see them off to school. I cook and clean. Each week I wash between 5 and 7 loads of laundry, including folding everyone's clothes. I water all the houseplants, do the grocery shopping, straighten up and try to remain sane. Is that not enough? I've been trying to write a book, but half the time I end up cleaning or doing some other chore instead of working on it. Yet I have plenty of time to "do that one thing" because I have all that free time. {{sigh}} Yes, DH goes to work and works all day, but just because I don't leave the house to work doesn't mean I do not work. What will happen when I finally do get a job and can't keep up with all the tasks I currently do now?
