Heather OC: Week 41 of 208

Mental Load


Invisible torture that rules

Each day. Mother must

Make things move. Missed


Appointments and the other

Walk. Wake. Shop.

Fill stockings and run them.


Who can breath or sit down

To read a book or look.

Remember breakfast nook


Puzzles and how your

Nana fed you there.
