How do I get anything done?

I have to say that, in spite of being able to work from home and watch my adorable little boy, I still get next to nothing done during the day. Dom wants my full attention all day, but that's his job and he is very good at it. Plus I like to humor him. Then I'm trying to do work while he sleeps, which is only for a half hour at a time. So I either have one hand on the keyboard while I hold my son in the other, or I'm playing with him. No food, no bathroom breaks, no TV (OK alittle TV, but not much).

My hubby comes home from work early in the afternoon, and his crankiness is apparent every day. I take the opportunity to give him the baby, after he goes the bathroom, takes a shower, and plops on the couch. I then proceed to make dinner. We eat, I feed the baby, and then put him to bed. It is now 8pm, hubby is in bed by 9pm, 10 if something good is on TV. I sometimes like to stay up for an hour or two more because, lets face it, I don't get much time to myself during the day. Hubby says "Don't complain to me if your tired the next day." WHAT!!!!! I've been tired for 5 months! I haven't had a full nights sleep (over 4 hrs) in FIVE MONTHS! It doesn't matter if I go to bed or not, I'm still getting up every 2 and a half to 3 hours, while he sleeps though everything. Hubby says "I have to go to work". What the hell have I been doing? Having a party? Don't get me wrong, I love my son and being able to stay home with him has been a blessing, but COME ON!! To anyone who has ever had to do both, you know what I mean.

All I want is one, ONE night to do some work, maybe some laundry, organize the computer room, relax and sleep for whole 6 hours without having to tell him when to feed him, how its done, and not to put him in a sleeper until after he eats.
