Scenario:
I've never been a stay-at-home anything. But I got used to it. She's been in the desert for two years now. I also manage the household-I cook, clean, and take care of our three kids. I learned how to braid my daughter's hair, which was a feat. Taking care of three children is not easy. I can never watch football and I'm burning cookies and cakes I have to make for birthday parties. And I'm going crazy without sex. There are days I just want to lock myself in the bathroom.
