I've just a single two year old and I am tired pretty often too, I can't imagine having four kids right now! You certainly have your hands full I am sure!

I don't know, I think you have to prioritize things and sort of redefine what it means to be a "good mom". It's sometimes easy to get caught up in all the "shoulds" of life...I should scrub this floor and I should cook more often and I should organize these closets and on and on. When you've got kids, especially toddlers, you just sort of have to let some of the other stuff go or else you're just going to exhaust yourself. And for what? I mean really, how important in the big scheme of things is an organized closet and a scrubbed clean floor?

You're a good mom because you care...you're a good mom because you want a good life for your kids. I say you should take a nap when the little ones take a nap and then order pizza for dinner that night and just play Candyland.

I have 3 children aged 3,2 and 1 so i know how hard it can be,my hubby works long hours and my family live 2 hours away,i wouldnt fret over a clean house ive learnt something has to give as long as its semi clean and the kids are happy i dont worry.You need a good dose of me time!!Even sitting for 10mins and painting your toe nails!!I think you need to ask for help ask some one to do your ironing or look after the kids for a couple of hours.good luck xx

I only have 2 kids and I'm tired. I can't imagine keeping up with 4. Especially at all different stages in their lives. I gotta give you credit girl!!

better time management and organization, i think, are key to running a sucessful household.

I only have 2 kids ages 2 & 3 but I would say try getting your older two kids to help out when they can this helps take some load off of you and helps them understand the real world. I'm sure your a great mom and I agree with these other ladies that sometimes you have to let things go in order to play that game of candy land with the kiddo's! Hoever I also have another experience that keeps me in fear of even having one peice of clothing on the floor. If you are in a supportive area then you should have nothing to worry about. Good luck and tonight go play a game, order some take out and cuddle with those kiddo's it will make it a much more peacful night i'm sure!
