Jeff sent me this, datelined Christopher's birthday:

"Skin Deep: Is the 'Mom Job' Really Necessary?" - NYT, 10/4/07:
Aimed at mothers, it usually involves a trifecta: a breast lift with or without breast implants, a tummy tuck and some liposuction.

On the blog StrollerDerby, Karen Murphy, a mother of four, lambasted mommy surgery.

“Those badges of motherhood have turned into badges of shame and, if you’re the one caught without a tummy tuck, then you won’t get invited to the party,” she wrote.

Sign me up for the tummy tuck. Badges are for Girl Scouts anyway! In any case, the gaggle of kids lagging behind me in the grocery store make me more of a Mom......
