And that's just the tip of the iceberg! Mom's definitely should be given hero status. Your poem made me think of my mother, who did all of the things you mentioned and more. Excellent. Hugh

Sometimes I think women can't see beyond a bouncing baby. Like naughty puppies, they are destructive, demanding and do grow up. Mother is the fountain they all drink from. If you get some sleep, then you have won! XXK.

It looks like you enjoyed those mommyish days, Susan, and I bet you didn't miss out in reliving the memories in your grand-motherish ways, ASAP.
Happy holiday season!

Oh this is so true about the endless number of things a mother is to do. You mention that the chores are two kinds. I think that mothers have so many chores or talents that their job description would be hard to write down. I am amazed at the women who work and have a job. Kudos to them all.
Yes this is a fun read.
Thank you for sharing.

"Mother's Life", is an extremely well-written and delightfully descriptive piece.
This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review. To me, this is a six, but I only have fives left. I look forward to reading your next post.

I read somewhere what it would cost to hire someone to do all the chores and jobs that a mother does everyday. It was astronomical.
Thanks for sharing this fun free verse poem.

Very good, Susan. It's the truth a with a mother's schedule/nonscheduled daily happenings. And your rhymes are perfect.
Perhaps to avoid repetition, change this line though:
"an infinite number
of routine tasks
a huge number
of unscheduled ones,"
Happy Holidays and
Bless you, Bob
