The Day Mommy Quit Amanda Metcalf

With three small children underfoot, every day is an adventure. Follow along as the oldest child and the mother co-narrate a series of unfortunate, but not atypical daily events; such as the eternal quest to drink lukewarm coffee, an unfortunate incident in the canned food aisle at the grocery store, and a meatloaf dinner that meets an untimely fate. All the while, the mother is daydreaming of quitting her day job and making a grand escape; whether it be by box, boat, train, plane, or even kangaroo. Despite another circus of a day, in the end, the mother realizes there is no place she'd rather be than right smack dab in the middle of her crazy, beautiful life.
