Trying not to be a complainer

I have never been one to complain, ever, or about anything, and I am not about to start now. I have always just taken things as they come and do what needs to be done, to get it done. Whatever that may be at the time. As I have stated before, I am learning how to juggle since my husband got laid off. And I am finding myself exhausted. I am sleeping just like I always have, but never seem to feel rested. I do not want to burden my family with the asking for more help, but, I think that I have finally reached a point where I must. Knowing this really bothers me.
I am the one in our home that takes care of it all, and now, being faced with the possibility of asking for help, is really bothering me. For one thing, I am not sure how to do that, I have never had to do this before. It sounds really bad, I should be able to just say I need some help, but thinking it and actually saying it are two different things.
My husband, bless his heart, has been doing the dishes and putting the kids on the bus. Just those things make a huge difference, so, my dilemma is: do I ask him to help with things like the laundry, and other things around the house or do I not. I feel like I am being selfish by wanting them to do more. I feel like these are the things that I am supposed to be doing and it truly makes me feel bad when they do it. Maybe it's just me, maybe I am just tired and need some more sleep. Any suggestions?
