How do you get everything done?

So you wake up in the morning to the sounds of toddler jabber or screaming and immediately your work begins. You give them their breakfast and try to sneak in a quick shower while they are distracted with their food. By the time you get dressed they are already begging for your attention again. You wander around the house trying to clean up a little while entertaining them as well, which is very difficult to do when one or both legs are incapacitated with little hands latching on.

A few hours later... it's nap time! Finally I can get some brunch without the baby yelling that she wants my food instead of hers... even though it's the same thing... It's beautiful outside so I hurry and get some yard work done before coming back inside to work on dishes and think about how I'm ever going to organize the spare bedroom/office/storage space.

Nap time is over! Time for a snack and a snuggle while the baby wakes up... otherwise the screaming and leg tugging ensues. Just in time for me to start dinner, daddy gets home! After dinner it's time for me to go to work while daddy plays with baby and attempts to get homework done.

Now here is the question for you ladies: How do you keep a sane and clean household while children screaming for your attention when you are at work half the day already?
