Moms do it all
I really do think that mothers do it all. If you were to really add up all of the salary we should get for being mothers, you would have to take a lot of careers into account. I decided to make a resume and generically fill it out with all of the skills that most mothers possess. I think it speaks for itself.
All mothers are working mothers. ~Author Unknown
Are you a licensed chauffeur?Yes. I can shuttle three kids to school, soccer practice, the dentist, and swing by Wal-mart to pick up a last minute birthday present and still make it home by 6pm to have dinner prepared.
Are you a gourmet chef?
Yes. I can turn waffles into smiley faces and an ordinary hotdog into an octopus swimming in an ocean of baked beans. I can please even the most finicky of eaters with a box of Rice Krispies and a bag of marshmallows.
Are you a skilled maid?
Yes. I can do laundry, dishes, vacuum, mop, dust, make beds, feed the dog, wash the windows, and scrub a toilet with the best of them.
Are you a chemist?
Yes. I can tell if a child is sick by the color and density of his snot and tell you his entire daily diet from one poopy diaper.
Do you have an eagle eye?
Yes. I can spot a smashed oreo in the rug and gum in a ponytail from 20 yards.
