papa's work from sun to sun, mother's work is never done.

At the age of thirty five I found myself rearing my three daughters ages seven, five and three years old. On top of this I frequently would babysit my two nieces, ages two and three years old. One beautiful, sunny day I was doing my housework and the five girls were playing together on the lawn. As I walked out of the front door to check on the girls; my two year old niece had a mess running down her legs; just as this happened my three year old daughter "who had a weak stomach" walked around the corner and barfed everywhere. As if that weren't enough, my oldest daughter ran around the house and bumped into the child with a weak stomach. They both fell down into the yellow upchuck. After a warm bath and a hot supper to fill their tummies they laughed about this newest episode as I put them to bed. I decided to join my husband "early" to bed with romantic thoughts in my head. He just began to snore and I thought " Did I shave my legs for this?"
