Okay.

Got it.

Do you have breakfast?

Yep. I made eggs, just the way you like them.

Okay, so...

What should I wear?

What should you wear?

It's a four-year-old's birthday party,

So nothing too fancy.

Oh, hey.

I'm sorry your mom can't make it.

It's fine.

I'm used to it.

Happy birthday, hannah.

Do you need help, baby?

Mm-hmm.

Okay, let's see.

Okay...

Boop-boop!

How excited are you, on a scale of one to ten?

Um... Ten.

Ten? Just a ten?

A million.

There we go.

Yeah, I know, 'cause it's a super surprise.

Turn around.

Mm, it's so pretty!

Yeah.

I think this is...

What?

It's gonna be so fun.

Oh, yeah.

Are you so excited about the bouncy castle?

Oh, yeah!

- Yeah? - Mm-hmm.

That's right.

Oh, you perfect thing.

You're so beautiful.

How did I get so lucky to have you two?

I don't know.

Oh, you don't know?

You don't know?

Hi, laura!

Thank you for coming. Hi, sweetheart.

Are you kidding?

I'd never miss a party by sherri papini.

Event of the year.

Well, you look beautiful.

Hi, sierra. Come in.

How do you do it?

Do what?

Always look so perfect?

Oh, no, no, no. I'm not perfect.

My kids are my very best friends.

Um, I always say that

When I met my kids, I met myself.

If I had known that, um,

My first kiss in middle school would be my husband...

If I had known that, um...

That keith and I would be here with all of you

With two beautiful children,

And such a beautiful life,

Then I...

Oh!

The kids! Oh, my god!

- Help, mommy! - I'm coming!

- Get me out! - It's okay.

Everyone's fine. Everything's good.

We're good.

How did you get the kids out so quickly?

You jumped right into action!

You're literally superwoman.

Everyone must think...

Sher, come on.

You're so hard on yourself.

I can barely get dinner together.

The kids are fine.

Keith?

Hey, keith, can you help me, please?

Keith!

I was putting the kids to sleep.

You need to let the bouncy castle go.

Can't you just be happy it went so well?

It didn't go well.

You're wrong.

It wasn't cheap, by the way.

Keith, please.

I didn't spend all this money on a party

For you to be upset right now.

I'm grateful.

Of course.

Could've fooled me.

You act like I'm the one that spends all the money

When you have a brand-new truck out front.

That's different, we needed that.

Okay, I just...

I...

I just wanted today to be...

To be really nice.

I just wanted...

Tell me, sherri.

What did you want?

I just wanted you to see me.

I'm sorry.

Let me get a job.

Please.

No, you're too busy with the kids.

I can contribute.

My wife doesn't need to contribute.

We can just tighten our belts.

We'll be all right.

Okay.

We'll make it work.

I love you.

Love you, too.

So, um, for tomorrow,

Cameron has piano and hannah has ballet.

So, I was thinking,

I don't know, something easy for dinner.

Do you have a preference?

- Got everything? - Mm-hmm.

Come here.

I love you so much.

I love you, too.

- Okay. - Bye.

Bye, baby.

Go.

- Bye! - Bye.

Oh, hi!

Oh. Hi.

Thank you for coming yesterday. That was really great.

It really was.

I don't know how you do it.

Oh, it's nothing.

Well, it looks like a lot from where I'm standing.

I'm not sure

Keith really appreciates it that much, but...

I know you have everything under control,

But...

I'm always here...

If you wanna talk.

Thank you, I appreciate that.

- Have a good day. - Yeah.

Here you go.

When you're five years...

Customers love me.

Get to the point.

Well, I was hoping I could get a raise.

Excuse me.

And why should I give you one?

I'm good at my job.

Look, I got two kids.

I see my future here.

I wanna work hard for you.

I'm proud of my job.

And we're proud to employ you, keith.

You know that.

But I can't just give you a raise.

Okay? Times are tough.

I hope you can understand where I'm coming from, keith.

Honey?

Kids?

Hello? Guys?

What is going on?

Sherri, come on.

Come on, come on, come on. Pick up.

Hi. It's, uh, keith papini calling.

I was just going to call you.

Sherri never came to pick her up.

What?

I tried calling sherri, but she didn't pick up.

Uh, I'll have my mom pick her up right away.

Come on, come on.

No. No, no, no, no, no.

It's my wife.

It's my wife. I can't... I can't find my wife.

I need somebody here now.

I found her phone.

It's got her hair ripped out.
