A Day in My Life

I was watching Oprah and a SAHM had written in asking Oprah to give her a day off...and a guy that works for Oprah came over and took over her job for a day. This woman had three kids and it was hilarious watching the guy try to do her job, so I wrote a List poem about my day as a stay at home mom.
