完形填空以my husband and I both work at home

My husband and I both work at home. We have four children, so the times when I am ( 1B alone) in the house are few. Like many work-at-home moms, when I do get a (2A chance) to be by myself, I fill that time with more (3A fun) , whether it's related to my career or taking care of the housework. Most of the time, I don't mind. (4A so far) , I wanted this job as wife and mother, and I knew from the start that it often (5C meant) putting others' needs before my own. But, other times, I can't help but feel a little (6D nervous) because I seldom had any plans for myself, and everyone knew it. My life (7A centered) on my family, but they seldom appreciated this, which often (8B bothered) me a lot. One day, when the kids were at school, I (9D headed) for the movie theater-alone, I'd (10C never) been to the movies alone before, so I was a little nervous.

ridiculous (荒唐可笑) by seeing a movie (11B when) so much work waited for me at home? I (12A forced) myself to swallow these (13C thoughts) and bought myself a ticket.

From that point on, I (17D decided) that Fridays would be mine, (18A at least) for a couple of hours. Some Fridays, I head to (前往) the beach with a good book.
