Mom's an Army

borrowed from Joan Baumann

Mom's an Army now!

When Dad's away Mom's the Commanding Officer.

When Dad's at home, Mom's the Executive Officer, coordinating and executing actions for the Command Team.

Keeping track of the kids, she's the S-1.

Collecting neighborhood news and relaying it to Dad she's the S-2.

Making plans for the family and training the kids, she's the S-3.

Stocking food and supplies for the family, she's the S-4.

She answers all the family correspondence and makes appointments for Dad, so that makes her the Adjutant.

Worrying about the family budget makes her the Comptroller.

Paying the bills and accounting to Dad for the paychecks makes her the Finance and Accounting Officer.

Looking for a new place to live when we move, she's the Billeting Officer.

Assigning us chores to do, getting us fed, bathed and put to bed; she is our First Sergeant.

Serving food and doing dishes, she's on KP.

Carrying small children, she's an ammunition handler.

Driving the family to all our appointments, she's a duty driver.

Cleaning the house and making beds, she's an orderly.

Cooking like a queen when she goes out with Dad, she's a soldier's lady.

Doing all things well all the time, she's a true "Big Gunner!"

Gosh, Mom's a whole darned Army!
