What a week it was for the modern mother. It began with the loss of a child's two adult teeth in a freak Saturday-night-ice cream-dance-kitchen-accident. Dental surgery is really no way to spend a Monday. For modern child or mother. Thank heaven all is well.
If only...
Maybe this sort of experience is why The Juggle wrote
Why Parents Make Awesome Managers.
Did you see the article in Vogue about a
7-year-old's weight? It even made the
NY Times Sunday Style section this weekend. Controversy or
brilliant publishing coup? You decide.
Is Wednesday really three times as long as every other day of the week? Or is it just in our town where all grade school students are dismissed at noon? That's right. Every Wednesday. Noon dismissal.
A mannerly friend assures us that the reason for such a wacky week was that the
Moon, Jupiter and Venus were meeting in a celestial rendezvous.
Thursday was certainly a bit out there having decided to explore a Reiki/Reflexology foot massage and total life healing (apparently) treatment as found via social shopping/daily deal. Now we're not saying it wasn't interesting and relaxing. The modern mother has no idea how she has survived all these years without knowing about her
chakras.
Friday, ah Friday. The relaxing end of the week. Except for the "concussion watch" going on because the modern son decided to impale himself at a friend's house Thursday evening. Again - thank goodness, all is well.
If it were not for the arrival of a package from Amazon containing the
most fantastic product ever, at least if your glasses and silverware
were looking like ours, the week might have been a complete bust. To
make a secret of it no longer, this miracle product is called
Lemi Shine. And this modern family could not be more astounded and pleased. Sometimes, it's the little things.
Here's to a better week for all. Happy Monday!
