Happy Mother’s Day

(Not So) Common Sense | “Hey, Mom!”

Mother’s Day is this Sunday; I trust most all of you know that and if you forgot, you can thank me later. I have been a mom for the past 28 Mother’s Days; for that and other reasons, it’s a very sentimental day for me. You see, I lost my mother when I was 16 years old. She died of acute myelogenous leukemia, after courageously battling the wicked disease for a little more than three years.

Happy Mama’s Day, ladies

I read something a few years ago that had two effects on me:  first, it made me laugh. Second, it stuck with me. Ready? 

“Raising children is like being pecked to death by a chicken.”
