Have you ever had one of those days where you give, give, give, give, give? You give to your kids, to your husband, to your pets, to your job. You drive to school, to the doctor's office, to client meetings, to school pick-up, to after-school programs, back to the doctor's office, to the pharmacy, to home. You can't recall a single moment of the day you spent doing something for yourself (other than going to the bathroom, and really that's just a feature of the human experience not a benefit, so it DOES NOT COUNT).
And then you finally get both kids in bed and you crank out one last hour of work before sitting down to watch your DVR'ed episode of Brothers and Sisters (Enough snickering. You know you watch it too.) before heading to bed for your nightly 4.5 hours of sleep and your child starts coughing uncontrollably, is it completely selfish to think to yourself, "SHUT UP ALREADY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!"?
Yeah, I thought so.
