Housework routine

I know there are tons of housework threads on here and I know all about flylady but I wondered how much time people spend each day on housework.
I seem to spend too much of my spare time on it and it annoys the h3ll out of me.
I have 2 children aged 3 and 2, and I work 2.5 days a week. When I am home the kids are at home. I cram the housework in to evenings and in the day between the kids getting stroppy. My entire evening seems to be spent tidying things up and getting ready for the morning, If things slip, like they have the last 2 weeks as we've had guests, there is no time to catch up on paperwork etc.

Here's how much time I spend on daily stuff when not at work:
- tidy up upstairs - make beds, pick up toys, put away biots and pieces - 20 minutes
- tidy up after breakfast, unload dishwasher and load up again, 20 minutes
- tidy up after lunch, clean detritus off floor, chuck out nappies etc - 20 minutes
- hoover or dust or wipe a bit of bathroom or something - 20 minutes
- tidy up after tea, load dishwasher, wipe down surfaces and hob, tidy playroom - 1 hour (why does this take so long)
- put on a washing, sort out paperwork and stuff lying around kitchen - 30 minutes
- get lunches and bags ready for the morning - 40 minutes (another one that takes so long)
- hang out washing to dry, hang up stuff in bedroom, tidy up dirty clothes and get clothes etc ready for morning - 30 minutes

Then of course there is shopping, cooking and ironing to throw in as well.
It all seems to take forever. Is this normal ? What does everyone else do ?
