May 2009 Newsletter

President’s Message
It seems that lately I have a tendency to use/refer to poems, books and e-mail forwards in my president’s message. It is
because I find that they encompass exactly what I want to say so perfectly - this month is no different. I wanted to share
with you an e-mail that was sent to me by a good friend. It made me realize what an awesome and daunting job we have
as mothers. I thought it would be perfect for this moth’s newsletter since May is often referred to as the month of
mothers. My hope is that you will get a good laugh from it, but also realize what an AMAZING job we have as
MOTHERS!

A Mom's Job Description

POSITION: Mom
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 various 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: This is for the rest of your life. Must be willing to be hated at least temporarily, until someone needs $5 to
go skating. 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 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 & janitorial work throughout the facility.
POSSIBILITY FOR ADVANCEMENT AND 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: 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, job supplies limitless opportunities for personal growth and free hugs for life if you play your cards right.

It can never be denied that as mothers we have one of the toughest, yet most rewarding jobs on Earth. Seeing the growth
and achievements of our children offers not only personal growth, but a realization that our hard work is paying off. We
are responsible for rearing the generation of tomorrow to be responsible, successful and caring individuals. Personally, I
think we all are doing a superb job. Here’s to all of you wonderful mothers - Happy Mother’s Day!

Your President,
Nina Garcia

Please note that neither MOMS Club® International nor MOMS Club® of Woodstock-South collectively endorses any of these
companies. MOMS Club® International recommends that local chapters adopt a blanket rule stating that no member may solicit
