If you work at all you are pulling a double shift

It is alright to stay at home with your kids, but if you are like me sometimes I feel like  being at home watching the kids and cleaning my house causes more stress then I experience at work and I work as a nurse in an ER.  I am just tired when I have finished a 12hr night shift, but at the end of the week after being home with my kids Mon-Fri (cause I work 3 weekends a month)  I am stressed out and exhausted and very ready to go back to work.   
My husband is a wonderful guy, but like all men they have trouble seeing what needs to be done and this causes some stress.  It feels like time stops when I am at work, my house sometimes gets picked up and the dishwasher emptied and some laundry gets done, but it is what doesn't get done that causes the stress.  Now I know some people would say hey at least your husband does some stuff and is a good father, but what I need is someone to continue the work when I am not at home.  Oh well (sigh).

 If I ever get to a point in my life where I can afford a cleaning lady 2-3 times a month that would alleviate some of my inner stress.  Well here's to dreaming.
