Yellow Cold Shoulder Top and White Jeans

Yellow Cold Shoulder Top/ currently wearing

Hi everyone, how are you doing?

As I am freezing my b**t off in this cold weather, I decided to reminiscent a bit about summer. This yellow cold shoulder top was one of my favorite tops. If you are following me on Instagram, you have noticed that I will soon travel with Club Med to one of their exclusive resorts. I still don’t know where I am going but I know for sure that it will be fun. I will miss not having Alex and Chloe-Sofia with me… And on the other hand, I look forward to spending time by myself.

I have been playing with the idea of doing another silent retreat in India for several months now. As much as I would love to spend ten days meditating and in quiet, it is a bit complicated to do that when you have a toddler. So this trip came at the right time.

It is funny, and I have talked about that several times already, how guilty I feel when I do something for myself. I know that it is nonsense and that I need to pay attention to my mental and physical health as well. But still, once you become a parent, you are programmed to think about your child more than about yourself.

I always find it funny when people tell me that I look like I am managing it all: work, blogging, interviews and being a mom and a wife (and a friend and lover). I would not put it this way. I noticed that I just do what is right in front of me. I learned that if it is not urgent, it can wait. I admire women who have more than one child. I don’t know how they do it. Seriously.

So in order to celebrate mothers, here is something to make you laugh. I heard it once on a radio and managed to found it online:

POSITION: Mother, Mom, Mama

JOB DESCRIPTION: Long term, team players needed, for challenging permanent work in an often chaotic environment.

Candidates must possess excellent communication and organizational skills and be willing to work variable hours, which will include evenings and weekends and frequent 24-hour shifts on call.

Some overnight travel required, including trips to primitive camping sites on rainy weekends and endless sports tournaments in faraway cities. Travel expenses not reimbursed. Extensive courier duties also required.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

The rest of your life. Must be willing to be hated, at least temporarily, until someone needs $5.
Must be willing to bite tongue repeatedly. Also, must possess the physical stamina of a pack mule and be able to go from zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat in case, this time, the screams from the backyard are not someone just crying wolf.
Must be willing to face stimulating technical challenges, such as small gadget repair, mysteriously sluggish toilets, and stuck zippers.
Must screen phone calls, maintain calendars and coordinate production of multiple homework projects.
Must have the ability to plan and organize social gatherings for clients of all ages and mental outlooks.
Must be willing to be indispensable one minute, an embarrassment the next.
Must handle assembly and product safety testing of a half million cheap, plastic toys, and battery operated devices.
Must always hope for the best but be prepared for the worst.
Must assume final, complete accountability for the quality of the end product.

Responsibilities also include floor maintenance and janitorial work throughout the facility.

POSSIBILITY FOR ADVANCEMENT & PROMOTION: Virtually none. Your job is to remain in the same position for years, without complaining, constantly retraining and updating your skills, so that those in your charge can ultimately surpass you

PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE: None required, unfortunately. On-the-job training offered on a continually exhausting basis.

WAGES AND COMPENSATION: Get this! You pay them! Offering frequent raises and bonuses. A balloon payment is due when they turn 18 because of the assumption that college will help them become financially independent.

When you die, you give them whatever is left. The oddest thing about this reverse-salary scheme is that you actually enjoy it and wish you could only do more.

BENEFITS: While no health or dental insurance, no pension, no tuition reimbursement, no paid holidays and no stock options are offered; this job supplies limitless opportunities for personal growth and free hugs for life if you play your cards right.

Forward this on to all the moms you know, in appreciation for everything they do on a daily basis, and let them know they are appreciated.
