Imagine having 4 kids, under the age of 5, working full time, with a spouse that works full time, 2 dogs, a cat, trying to pack a house, feeding all the children and getting them to school on time, your nanny going into labor early, so you have to scramble to find care for the same week that you are physically moving to a new house, then getting in the new house, and your spouse spending all his time preparing the old house for the market, so you are left trying to make the new house functional, all while still providing for and nourishing your 4 children, as well as orientating new sitters to your kids and dysfunctional home, and begging close friends and family for constant help.
