When most people think of life in a big family, they picture haggard moms in desperate need of a referee's whistle. They imagine dads mortgaging their souls to Safeway. They envision enough laundry to fill the Grand Canyon.
I'll admit it: there are moments where my eardrums throb and I wish for noise-canceling headphones. A hefty slice of my husband's paycheck does get chewed and swallowed. And the laundry? In a month I'm guessing mine would fill a good-sized swimming pool.
