MISSION: Mommy Do-Over

I have so much respect for mothers.  Boy, do I ever!  I’m not a mother, so I’m not intimately involved with the day-to-day activities (and sometimes disasters) that mothers go through with their children.  I commend them.  Top honors.  High-fives.  Hugs galore.  I don’t know how they do it, but they do.  And they deserve so much recognition and praise.  (As do the Mr. Moms out there, too!)

Affiliated Agent LA from Florida decided to give a little gift to a mom who might be having an otherwise rough day–something she’s all too familiar with!

DATE:
Wednesday, 6 October 2010

OPERATIVE:
Affiliated Agent LA

LOCATION:
Starbucks
Pembroke Pines, FL

TIME:
3:30 p.m.

Ok, I completed my first mission! I’m a mom of a toddler and I know that it’s not a matter of IF today will be stressful, but just HOW stressful will it be! It is always the days when we plan the most and are on the tightest schedule that seem to be the most hectic. I find that when I finally get a minute to sit down and take a minute to relax, something throws a wrench in my plans! That’s why I wanted to leave a Starbucks card in the baby changing station at Starbucks!

As a stay at home mom, I just want to have some sort of interaction with regular society and a simple stop for a pumpkin spice latte can give me all of the serenity that I need to keep on going! But there’s something about that little green logo that makes my little boy dirty his diaper. Sigh.

Starbucks is not always the most baby-friendly place, and I have found myself many times without a changing station in site! In a place like Starbucks, you are just hoping that your kid doesn’t stink up the joint or start screaming, because there are plenty of people there who are studying, having business meetings, etc. I know whatever mommy is using the changing table in there is having the same stress, so hopefully this gift card can allow her to have a do-over on another day!
