Not so long ago Bev was the proverbial footloose and fancy free. A single woman, happy and wild. Then 30 hit, maternal hormones raged, Mom wanted grandchildren, and here we are. With hubby in the suburbs and four kids under three.
4 under 3! Yikes!
Molly, the oldest, is 3 today. It's her birthday. Bev's up and at it even earlier than usual, in the grand hope of getting the birthday cupcakes baked and iced. It's touch and go. Those cupcakes may not happen.
The kids are waking up. Tom's showered and shaved and ready to off to the office. Bev will soon be on her own, four on one, for the next twelve hours.
Will she make it? Survive the gauntlet? Hard to say. She's already at wit's end. And the day has just begun.
