SEVEN OUT OF EIGHT AIN’T BAD

Things a Washington-area working mom remembered one morning, all before 9 a.m.: to pack all clothes/gear/food for her family’s trip to the beach; to drop off a full dinner at the neighbor’s house because they had a new baby; to talk to the plumber about a faucet problem; to order and pick up three dozen donuts and coffee for all of the staff at her 3-year-old daughter’s daycare because it’s her last day there; to purchase gift cards and thank you cards for all of her daughter’s teachers; to send her daughter to school with a toy for show-and-tell and a bathing suit because it’s also Splash Day.
