p.s.

I don't mean to sound whiny, or to claim that staying home is the most difficult job on Earth. Clearly, it is not. It is far less demanding than, say, brain surgery, or rocket science. And it does include trips to the zoo, countless episodes of SpongeBob (who knew I would ever want to thank God for SpongeBob?!), days at the pool, and even the occasional nap. But it is demanding. I have the highest respect for any woman who does this with more than one child - I can't even imagine! And especially for any woman who works a full day (at a "real" job) to come home to children and laundry and house cleaning. It's work!
