As Mother’s Day approaches, I thought it would be fun to discuss the many roles I portray on a daily basis:Maid – Cleaning the toilets is the worst part about this gig.Short-order Cook – Consider this my two week’s notice because you’re just going to have to go hungry if you don’t like what’s for dinner.
