The Mother Load Nancy Crochiere

Have you ever battled a spouse who is trying to stop global warming by turning the thermostat down to an ?arctic wasteland? setting? Or sent a child to sleepover camp without a single pair of underwear decent enough to get hit by a car in? If you find yourself talking to your GPS, trying to shoulder-shimmy in Zumba class, or praying that you can get through another Thanksgiving without a repeat of the legendary Salmonella Bird of 1997, you know what it?s like to be carrying ?The Mother Load.? A collection of the most popular humor columns that Nancy Crochiere wrote for The Daily News of Newburyport, Massachusetts, over a 15-year period, The Mother Load is a hysterical look at family life in the 21st century.
