I am the semi-neurotic mother of three kids, ages 18, 8 and 5. My oldest is off to college and my youngest just started school. I’ve been the single mom, divorced mom, married mom, young mom, old mom, career mom, and attends school-at-night mom. I’ve worked in the IT world for almost two decades, but still shy from programming cell phones. I have no free time, but when I do…I write or read or plan our next vacation or holler at whomever to give me some PEACE AND QUIET.
Cloning
I heard on the radio today, during my enragingly-long commute avoiding NASCAR wannabes and distracted cell-phone talkers (what do they talk about that often???), that the Federal government is passing legislation about cloning, as in when cloning is ‘OK’ and when it’s not.
I’d like to chime in that it’s definitely ‘OK’ to clone me, or moms in general!
I spent 12 hours in a meeting today (my rear-end was loudly complaining after the first 2 hours). I’m trying to coordinate a visa and a new passport for my son who’s going to Paris (!!!) for college in a mere 4 months. I have two birthday parties to schedule. I’m still trying to learn my new job. I’m trying to figure out the emotional angst that caused my older daughter to dare my younger one to pee on the bedroom carpet. I’m cleaning up puppy chew and other, nastier items. I try to get a 5 minute conversation in with my husband over the span of a week. I try to keep in contact with friends and family, some of whom have probably forgotten what I look like at this point in time. I also manage, as you can empathize with, the million other details that we do, every day, in the high-demanding job of ‘Mom’.
I need a clone. I need several clones.
Maybe one of my clones can petition Washington for me…I sure don’t have time to do it
