How DOES she do it? Busy Mom-in-Cheif / Fashion Icon / Organic Gardener / Theater-Goer Michelle Obama sure does have a full plate. How does she manage to do it all? When my children were this age, my wardrobe consisted of only nursing scrubs and pajamas, my garden had gone to weeds, and I barely had the energy left to get the KFC out of the cardboard bucket and onto their dinner plates at the end of the day, nevermind find the glue sticks and construction paper.
The White House has been great for their family life. Look how happy the girls are. And now, the logical extension of Romantic Date Night: Family Night Somewhere.
Somewhere? How about "anywhere"? It's been many years since I was a Busy Mom but I can recall with vivid clarity the feeling of gratitude that came over me when we were all made it safely through another day and had the comfort of being together in our own home. Looks like Sashay and Malaria could use a little of that same kind of comfort, especially now that Grandma has ditched them in favor of the DC party life.
But what's a Busy Mom and Fashion Icon™ supposed to do? Such a busy schedule! So many dresses to wear, so many strangers to hug. There's barely time enough to sit still while the full-time makeup artist redraws her eyebrow line - how ever can there be time for the saddest Obamas? Paris here we come.
Since the Mom in Chief is so busy, can someone who isn't quite so overbooked please tell that child to sit up straight! Good grief - is she going for the dowager hump look before she's 20?

Hey, if you want to do a blog of snarky but truthful coverage about the Obamas, go ahead, but to pick on the children is a good way to show what boobs those parents are.

I bet you didn't have a nanny, house keeper, chef, chauffeur, etc when your kids were little. Michelle has it made--why would she be tired from anything other than jet lag.

Now I know where "super-mom" Ugly Michelle is, jabbing away at everything and anything . How about a visit to Family Planning or a couple of those abortions her husband is so fond of. (can't abstain ALL the time...golly, jeez!). Such a nice couple...oops:troubled couple. Barry says Michelle is cold ; Michelle (oops, I mean "the most beastly first lady ever") doesn't want her husband messing around with her innocent, darling daughters anymore.
People who live in White Houses.........
When are you guys going to WISE UP??!!

We now know the 'family evening' was actually a mom and dad evening - grandma presumably left with the kids. How does she do it? Her kids are in school 4 days out of 5, she only does official functions max 3 days a week, she has a staff of 20 plus cooks, maids, gardners, chauffeurs, private planes and helicopters, a live in granny, a dog walker, personal trainer, stylist, make up artist.....forgive me if I find this woman just a bit self indulgent and as for 'first mom' well, what DID happen to the so-called family night out in Paris?
