Mrs. Incredible


A few months ago I calculated the amount of time I spend weekly doing the variety of individual tasks Moms usually do. For example:

Laundry - 5 hours,
Cooking - 20 hours,
Cleaning - 16 hours,

It also included the other essential tasks such as kissing boo boos, teaching valuable lessons and wiping various body parts with a moistened cloth. As I began to total up the number of hours I put in each day I knew there was a problem right away. This couldn't possibly be right. The Average Daily Total Hours [ADTH] is (everyone please lean forward expectantly):

44 HOURS!

That can't possibly be right. I must have miscalculated. I had to have missed something...and then it hit me! Of course! I didn't include any hours for sleep.
