an oxymoron?

 The first Friday of September is National Lazy Moms' Day.  I'm really not sure there is any such thing as a lazy mom.  Lazy grandmas, yes.  We have earned it.  I was thinking about this concept though and I suspect it has something to do with kids going back to school.  Of course this is based on the old fashioned, but I think very reasonable, idea of sending children back to school after Labor Day.  If you think about it, on the first Friday of back to school week Mom doesn't need to worry about getting lunches and clothes ready for the next day.  Maybe they would even go out to dinner that evening to celebrate the weekend, so, this was her day to kick back and relax.  If that's considered lazy, so be it.
