“It’s 6:30 pm, and I’m headed to a local school gym for the second time,” Samm
Davidson sets the scene. “I dropped one son off for basketball practice

earlier and now I’m on my way to pick him up. Today also included a gymnastics
class, two in-home speech lessons, an after-school program, and a partridge in a
