I read every day while I eat lunch and after supper while I supervise the cleanup. No, I don't clean my house. I have a mother-daughter pair who come in two hours a day. Luckily, I don't have to put my kids to bed anymore. Of course, that means I'm not as up to date on children's lit as I once was. I have never worked outside the home. I have always done exactly what I wanted to do --- be a Mom. Beth
