Today is supposed to be lazy mom's day, where moms are encouraged to stop and relax. I don't know any mom that could actually stop, relax and completely rest, uninterrupted, except for evening bedtime, and even then, the only stop late after everyone else is tucked in for the night.
If they stop to enjoy a movie, they end up jumping up to fix snacks, or endless "mom!!!" things. Even if someone took the kid(s) for a few hours, the ones I know would take the time to catch up on things around the house, catch up on work brought home from the office, or doing something for someone else.
Is it possible for a mom to truly stop and relax, just for a day? Has anyone successfully done that? And no, stuck in bed, sick with the flu (or worse) does NOT count! 4951
