husband scripts easy
And I find it very easy to memorize the scripts, which are so close to conversations my husband and I have.
encounters week situation
I know the situations that we do every week are all ones that I encounter in my life or will encounter.
kids parenting healthy
It's hard enough to work and raise a family when your kids are all healthy and relatively normal, but when you add on some kind of disability or disease, it can just be such a burden.
home guy idiot
Home life is a foreign environment for most guys. So it's natural to show them being idiots at home.
sorry feelings helping
I have always believed that when you're feeling sorry for yourself, the best thing to do is help someone else.
couple years annoyed
I just don't know a couple that's been married more than three years that doesn't annoy the heck out of each other every 15 minutes.
thinking honest humans
I think Raymond is very honest about human relationships.
mom school kids
I spend as much time with my kids as any mom who stays home. I only work during the hours they're at school, but there is always the sense of trying to catch up with all their stuff and not only organize my work life but also their school lives
girl boys thinking
But I think boys ultimately are easier than girls.
commitment years together
True love, and what it is, and how do you know what it is. Is it just chemistry, or is it years and years of commitment and being together and hanging in there building a history? And how do you find both?
thinking people sick
You kind of think people get sick of you after a while, but apparently not.
summer kids four
We only work four days a week, we only work three weeks out of the month, and we get four months off for the summer. So there's plenty of time for me to spend with the kids.
spotlight actresses needs
I felt totally released from the need to make it as an actress. I had experienced complete fulfillment in something that had nothing to do with me being in the spotlight.
nice school kids
This is the other thing: we make the cost of raising kids higher than it has to be just because we feel they need all this stuff, like gadgets, certain schools, and activities that are nice but aren't really necessary.
