ISO: A Highly Qualified Do Everything'er

Today as I was browsing my computer I came upon my resume from past days. Days where I showered. Days when I knew what was going on in the world. Days when I wasn’t confused by the clothing I see people wearing. Days where I didn’t have to double check if my pants were on backwards before I left the house. I had a moment of blankness where I literally could not fathom what I would put If I had to make a resume for this time in my life. And that made me a little sad. So, I do believe it is time we have some job clarification. This is for ALL my momma’s. My momma’s who do it all, my momma’s who sacrifice working out of the home and the momma’s who sacrifice working in the home. Because at the end of the day it doesn’t matter how or where you do it. Motherhood is just that: sacrifice, with the most amazing return. Today I needed to give myself and all you other momma’s out there a little reminder of your job description. Because this can be thankless at times and often hard. So today momma I just want to remind you what exactly you really are:
