It took me more than two hours to clean out the fridge and freezer last week. After I __1__ every drawer and threw away __2__ leftovers, I went to the grocery shop for the first time in months.
I'd run into the shop for a loaf of bread, milk, or eggs. I __3__ fruits and vegetables and cleaned and cut them into small pieces to store in my newly cleaned fridge. I __4__ clothes out from under the girls' __5__ and washed them. I took threeinch piles of papers out of their school folders and read __6__ from their teachers.
After a few months of working like __7__， I spent last week working as “Momma”. When you are “The momma”， a lot of __8__ you feel like there is no one __9__ behind you to take up the chores (日常琐事).

Then there was Mrs Velma, my angel I sent straight home from heaven who does, as a matter of fact, clean my __16__ better than I ever could but who more __17__， fills my house with positive energy and wouldn't let me get __18__.
Working parents all __19__ to find the balance between work and home, the job and family. I personally don't think that balance exists without __20__. While I was on the work end, my mom, Velma, Zeb and Madeleine, my babysitter, gave me help.
