It's a running joke around here that I do nothing all day while Justin works long hours. I always tell him that he could never do my job. He knows that too. :) Moms really are incredible. How in the world do we learn to do it all?
Wow, that author has some major resentment going on!
Oh - I love it! And the funny things is, it's all true - we really do most of those things regularly as a mom. But I'm not very good about birthday cards and of course I fall short on keeping the house "spotless" but all in all pretty accurate - I love it!
