Now we know that this may not be possible as Lazy Mother’s Day falls on a school day this year when mothers traditionally have not been able to relax. But if your partner’s work schedule allows, ask them to do the prep school assignments. Prepare what you can the night before and hide under the covers until the bus arrives.
If your kids haven’t started school, enjoy a few extra zzzs this last Friday of summer by laying out bowls that have been pre-filled with your kids’ favorite cereal and wrapped in plastic wrap the night before. Place a cup of milk on a low cooling shelf that you can pour yourself. Then instruct them to watch TV or their iPad until you get up. Alexa-enabled remote controls can also work wonders for little ones who don’t yet know how to surf the web. You can jump down and tell him to “wear Disney Jr.” while you sleep.
