A friend of mine from the neighborhood quit her job as an attorney, recently, to be home full-time with her kids. She lamented the other day that she's not getting anything done- and how she thought her household accomplishments would be so much greater. Ah-the legend of the productive stay-at-home mother.... you know the one- she knits and eats bon-bons in her sparkling clean abode...such laughter emanates from my bone-tired soul...
