Makes My Monday

Do you know what makes my Monday? The neighborhood Moms group I'm in. Not because of the comraderie of being with other moms. I've never attended a playgroup. All I do is read the posts. From some of those posts, I find out interesting information about our neighborhood and kid activities. But that's not why I like it, either.

I like it because so many posts make me feel like I am, at most, a Supermom, and at least, much, much saner than the rest of the world.

Like the woman who posted to ask if anyone would go pick something up for her halfway across the city, because she has two kids and doesn't want to have to get out with them. Who do you think you're posting to, lady? EVERYONE in the group has kids.

Or the woman who posted that her husband came home every night and cooked dinner for the whole family, allowing her to spend all her time playing with her two children when she got home from work. But they are a year and a half apart in age and she doesn't know how she can play with both of them at the same time. And she can't ask her husband for help because he's busy making this fabulous dinner for everyone. Ooooh. Rough life you have there, chick.

Or the woman who posted that her child's pet coackroach had babies, did anyone want one? Seriously? I'm curious to know if she got any takers.

Or the woman who posted that her yard needed weeding and could anyone come over and help. And, oh, she's 7 months pregnant so she couldn't actually join you in the weeding, but she would make you some lemonade. I think that one took the cake. She posted this to over 300 moms in the neighborhood. Guess I'm curious if she got any takers, too.

I could literally go on and on. All I know is that on Monday, and every day, I look forward to receiving the group's daily digest of posts, just for entertainment value. It rarely disappoints. Rather, it usually makes my day.
