It is so hard to come home at night, exhausted from a day’s work, cook dinner, feed the children, bathe them, put them to bed, and then tackle mountains of laundry, a sticky kitchen floor that needs to be mopped, write checks for the late notices you received for your electric and heat bills, and then suddenly realize that you are out of diapers for the next day.
