soothes

I have 5 children. When I tell someone that I usually get the exasperated response, 'FIVE? Holy cow....do you sleep? How do you do it? Five. Wow. More power to you, 'cause I have my hands full with two.' The response varies, but it's usually something like that. In order, the answers are 'Yes,' 'barely,' 'I just do,' 'Thanks.'
