asta Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 There is an incredibly funny blog called Doctor Grumpy in the House written by a neurologist with two little kids. He periodically goes completely off topic and writes stuff like this: Thursday, September 22, 2011 Today's mail There is absolutely NOTHING that can make you feel more inadequate as a parent than an issue of "Working Mom" magazine. It came today, and always has stories like this: "In this issue we feature Suzy Oveur-Cheever. Suzy spends time at home raising her 2 lovely daughters, is active on her school board, and helps deliver meals to poor families. In addition she's developed a new technique for DNA recombination that led to a breakthrough for cancer and is helping to excavate a 2000 year old shipwreck in the Red Sea. Last week she was confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court, and will be taking her daughters to Oslo next year to pick up her Nobel Prize after solving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In this issue she'll be sharing her recipe for brownies and showing us her homemade Halloween decorations." Posted by Grumpy, M.D. I laughed and laughed until I realized that I usually feel the way he does when I read the accelerated board. :001_huh: asta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nd293 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 LOL - Well you've got me wanting to read the blog and the accelerated board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 As a relatively accomplished professional, I appreciate this! I used to think I was doing pretty well, and then I'd see one of those articles and think, well! I am a slacker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie Smith Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I never read those magazines. But I do see them in the checkout line of the grocery store. You also have to remember the people on the cover are also very good looking at fit. (At least they look that way to me. But Photoshopping can do a lot) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommymilkies Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 :lol: That's pretty much how I feel, too. I'm just happy to make it alive through most days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
