My Laundry is Piling Up

It's frustrating having 2 kids sometimes. I feel like by now, I should be able to tackle every chore as well as take care of them, but as of right now I have 10 loads of laundry on my bed waiting to be folded, and I just want to go to bed.
When one is napping, the other is awake. One is peeing her pants, the other is screaming to be fed. They both go down for bed, the dog barks and wakes them both up, and I have another hour of the bedtime process all over again.
I just want to bash my head into the wall a few times and eat an entire thing of ice cream. I mean, I am still 30 pounds from where I want to be, so might as well eat a pint of frozen dairy goodness. Ok, not really, but I want to.
Anyone else struggling still with 2 and being a SAHM? Or even a working mom! Just someone tell me I am not alone.

you are so not alone! It's a good thing the baby doesn't actually use his room because clean laundry is piled up both in his crib and on the floor and every time I get a chance to catch up, within a couple days it's piled up again.
My house is what I like to call a constant state of embarassment.
Constant state of embarrassment is a good way to describe it. Usually when I have people come over, I just use the method of "shoving sh*t everywhere out of view". Except now that's just driving me crazy.
And I can understand the parent comment. I keep looking at DD2 and thinking "man, DD1 was sooo much easier. It was like having a doll." It is easy when you can focus all of your attention on one child's issues. Today, I had to hold DD1 on my grandma's toilet to pee, while rocking DD2 in my other arm, and my face was basically right next to DD1's butt. Needless to say, I witnessed my child poop in a way I never want to again.
It is interesting trying to solve the problems of both of them. Thanks for reminding me there are others going through the same stuff. I might go fold my laundry now.
I'm right there with you. I do like 2 loads a day... I seriously have no idea where it all comes from. I realize now how easy one kid was.
