A Mom's Life
Music playing: "M-O-T-H-E-R"

Mom and Dad were watching TV when Mom said, "I'm tired, and it's
getting late. I think I'll go to bed."

She went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the next day's

In her own room, she set the alarm, laid out clothing for the next
day, straightened up the shoe rack. She added three things to her
