Sometimes (okay a lot of times) motherhood means no rest for the weary. It seems like every time I sit down, someone has a request that means I have to get up. If we are eating, as soon as I start to lift a fork with food on it, someone’s glass of milk suddenly needs to be refilled. It’s like some cruel cosmic joke against mom’s – our own personal Murphy’s Law. So, this next drawing from the talented Heather Hopp-Bruce really resonated with me. Do you have this going on, too?
