Our house can get destroyed, I have been known to pick up a pizza (always Little Caesar’s for their excellent prices!), and my children have, on more than one account, made me pull a hair or two out of my head. However, I do enjoy every second of it and I do my best to juggle it all, knowing full well there are many women out there who juggle so much more and deserve far more credit than myself. But I know I do have a pretty good handle on things and, when asked by my friend how I do it, I started thinking.
