Chore Quote by Mary Potter Kenyon
““For the majority of our marriage I was so busy mothering babies and nursing on demand that by the end of the day I didn’t even want to be touched by David. During those sleep-deprived months when it was all I could do to get dressed by noon, reading articles about rekindling the fire or dating your husband frustrated me; it was just another chore on a huge to-do list that was never done.””
