Up at 5am.
Brushed, bathed and fresh after just 4 hours of sleep 'cause our hunger and sleep patterns are really in our hands, yes?
Warm a glass of milk.
Pack a lunch for the 7-year old.
Nutritious yet delicious. Appetising. Like it came from a photo-shoot for Good Housekeeping. You gotta feed 'em right, yes?
Wake-up call in a loving but firm voice.
The daughter has healthy, long & curly hair.
Not for her, the short boyish styles the other mothers force on their daughters in name of convenience.
The school bus departs.
Detoxifying herbal tea for the Husband & self. Tea in bed.
Years of matrimony & they still cherish this 'us' time, all theirs in the morning.
Superwoman zips about the dustless-spotless-decorated-with-personal-touch house. Mornings are busy.
In next 60 minutes fixes another healthy breakfast; packs another nutritious low-cal high-fibre Good Housekeeping type lunch; does the laundry; answers the doorbells (seven in all); allots chores & supervises the maid; lays out the clothes for Husband and sees him off with a smile & a hug!
She hits the treadmill. (An hour a day is good, thrice a week is mandatory).
A break after 30 minutes to sip lemon water. And wash to off the papaya-honey-yoghurt mask that keeps her looking far younger than mid-thirties.
Off to work.
Talented & an amazing net-worker. Makes a neat packet with her job.
Flexi-time!
Because her family needs her around. After all, children of stay-at-home moms are more secure & have a higher IQ. Maids or grannies aren't what a growing child needs, yes?
During the day she fixes an appointment with the paediatrician, takes the kid to a dance class, socialises with other school moms, picks up a toothpaste, pays the phone bill, collects dry-cleaning, spends quality time with in-laws, renews the DVD rental service, has a meaningful conversation with her daughter, gives a reminder call to the Husband about the last date of insurance payment, calls the electrician and pops in at the parlour to get her eyebrows arched.
Oh include planning a party with 20 friends at her place on the weekend. 'Cause all work & no play is unhealthy, yes?
She re-applies her lip-gloss.
Should greet your husband with a fresh sight, yes?
Family dines together (a light meal at night) before the school going kid is tucked after being read to. Reading really works, yes?
'Us' time again. Exchange the day's stories with spouse. Update each other.
Time to turn into a sex goddess.
Arouse, titillate & make voracious love before sleep.
The next day is underway in her head already.
She has to buy a birthday gift for mother-in-law and call the grocer for a loaf of multi-grain bread.
