The Close of a Season

The Close of a Season

Life of Inefficiency

Life of Inefficiency

I was sitting in the dark, holding Joy’s hand to sleep with one hand and swiping my phone with the other. Suddenly, I felt so lousy. “Why can other mummies don do so many things, but I can’t?” Then God enlightened me. I’ve got limitations.
