It is a hard work for me to push my kids to their beds, once they finish their homework every night. They always can find a dozen of reasons to make a lot of noise. For instance, It will be better for them to do some exercises before going to sleep; we need take more pictures and hang them on our wall; and they are willing to call their friends because they are the ones who they are making. So, I am exhausted while my housework is done, which includes doing the cooking, doing the dishes, doing the ironing and doing the laundry every night.
