Multitasking. OR Reasons I need a clone

So I don't know why I thought I was talented enough to transition into mommy, wife, housekeeper, church secretary AND college student smoothly.  This past week has been craziness. 

I'm exhausted.

Yesterday I thought Okay, I've made it to the weekend.  I can rest.  WRONG.  The laundry had to be caught up, house cleaned, et cetera.  Then this morning I had the bright idea of taking down the girls' cribs and going on a hunt for new beds.  That took almost all day (we just finished putting the new beds together about an hour ago).  So now I've used up an entire day off.  A day I was supposed to rest

Tomorrow is church, and it's also my children church team's Sunday to teach.  On top of that, I promised my sister and cousin I'd go to the movies with them after lunch.  We're going to see Vampires Suck, which I really want to watch, but I'm just so tired at this exact moment that I'd honestly prefer staying home and napping.  

I even planned on doing a Face Punch post for today, but didn't have the energy to be annoyed with anyone.

Aside from all of that nonsense, I feel like I didn't see my girls hardly at all this week.  I'm working longer hours since I went from three days to two, and of course school takes a good eight hours a day.  (Before school I was working a mere 12-14 hours a week, and the rest of the time I was stay-at-home mom.)  I also had a get-together with an old friend Thursday night which lasted from six until almost midnight.  No wonder I miss my kids. 

I know after a few weeks I'll adjust and be fine.  It's the initial changing that's the problem.  I'm a creature of habit.  Give me boring repetition - I'm happy with it.  

Someone please tell me I'm not the only one who feels like this...
