How do they do it?!

Nathan was home for an hour tonight before he had to run to a church meeting, and I am ready to just put my kids to bed and call it a night and it's only 7. (I'm just glad that they didn't nap today so that I can put them to bed at 8.) And I just can't imagine being a single mom and doing this by myself everyday. I'm wondering how they do it without screaming and throwing their kids out the window? They work so hard (most of them do at least) and then they come home and take care of the kids and do homework and housework and rarely have time to themselves.

So, here is a round of applause to all of you single moms and moms whose husbands are so busy trying to support their families that they aren't home often. I applaude you!
