Alarm clock Quote by Don Raj
“Someone asked a woman : Are you a Working Woman or a House-Wife? She replied : Yes I'm a full time working House-Wife. ... I work 24 hours a day... I'm a Mom, a Wife, a Daughter, and a Daughter in Law... I'm an Alarm Clock, a Cook, a Maid, a Teacher, a Waiter, a Nanny, a Nurse, a Handyman, a Security Officer, a Counselor and a Comforter. I don't get Holidays, sick, leave or days off... I work through Day and Night... I'm on call all hours and get paid with a sentence... What You Do All Day at Home:/ Dedicated to all Mothers, House-wives, Daughters and Sisters. Please Share this message with everyone to make them realize the Importance of Women.”
