Between waking up and bedtime- it’s a 24-hour grind. Oh, and what about that housework? Yes, that too. Although it most always is neglected or rejected in favor of saving your sanity with a 10 o’clock bath. Or make that 11 o’clock at night since your toddler still refuses to go to bed that night! The funny part about being a mom is that you’re almost expected to be “on” around the clock. Laundry, folding that laundry, cooking, putting the kids to bed (they almost always want just mom as my small toddler puts it) and cleaning up after everyone becomes the easy way out instead of trying to cajole them into putting toys away when they are tired.
