Multitasking is harder than it looks...

I've been a parent for 11 years now.

So...you'd THINK I would have mastered the art of multitasking.

Chyeahhhh...not so much.

And...it's proving to make me a cranky panda >:C

As much as I try...I can't seem to keep up...so I'm feelin' pretty damn useless. It also doesn't help that as many times as I try and remind my family to put things away/pick up after themselves...it never truly seems to sink in. Granted, my children and my bf DO help out and they do an excellent job when they do...but usually I have to ask them to...I'm starting to think no one knows how to change the paper towel roll or clean the toliet other than myself.

The tricky part is....how do I ask/get them to do what they should be doing without them thinking I'm a dreadful ol' nag of a woman and wind up resenting me? *Sighs* I wish I had the power to influence without having to utter a sound :/
