Scary Mommy Workshop Week 1:
Take Mother's Day Back
May 9, 2013
Welcome to Week 1 of our Stress-Less Parenting Club's new workshop with "Scary Mommy" Jill Smokler. Here's Jill with your first challenge:
Mother's Day is a mere couple of days away... so what are your plans to celebrate this year? Will you be spending the day at a spa? Shopping for new shoes or taking in that movie you've been dying to see? Bringing a stack of unread magazines to a coffee shop and camping out there all afternoon? Lounging in bed, getting up to down a chocolate croissant and then lounging around some more? No, you say? None of the above?
If you're like most moms I know, you're probably looking ahead to a pretty typical Sunday. Maybe you'll get an out-of-the-ordinary breakfast and a card or two, but that's pretty much it. You'll spend the day at a T-ball game or dance recital, perhaps do some gardening and maybe, if you're really lucky, take an extra 10 minutes in the shower. You'll probably make dinner as usual and end up bathing the kids and preparing for the week ahead. Well, no offense, but your upcoming Sunday sucks.
I mean, normally, that would be a wonderful day. The kind of day that life as a mother is all about, but Mother's Day shouldn't be just another day where we do the same old thing. Everyday is Kid's Day, after all -- don't we deserve a day that revolves around us? The answer is yes. Yes, we do. And this year, we're going to get it.
