Wooo Hoo go girl :-)

You need to learn to delegate. With six kids you shouldn't be doing any cleaning or laundry, and should be splitting the cooking duties. You shouldn't be doing any dishes.

Depending on the age of your children, you should farm off as many errands as possible.

I have nine children, aged 14 to 1 year with one Aspergers and one probably autistic (working through the process of finding a specialist to look at him).

If you delegate properly, the household runs itself for the most part.
