The Scouting Report

In baseball, scouts keep stats on everything. Every pitch, every catch, every at-bat. Nobody keeps the stats on moms. Nobody counts the lunches packed before seven, the dentist appointment remembered, the fever handled at two in the morning.

So I started calling moms and asking. What does your week really look like? What's the part nobody sees? And what do you need back from the people around you?

Every episode is one of those conversations. No names, all real, and short enough to finish on the drive to pickup.
