 Did you ever get a break? So you're doing the mommy thing, you know, all day, every day. Did you ever have a chance? Maybe your mom or his mom would come and watch the kids so you could just get out for a few hours or a day to yourself? Or did you just grind it out for all those child rearing years? Well, I was involved with my parish. So I was able to attend Emmaus retreats on the weekend, which I absolutely loved.
