A New Kind of Mom

For those that ever thought that being a mom was trivial and indistinct, they have never met Kris O'Krepky. She is a new prototype in “Momming.” Kris is one of the most loyal mothers I know. She dotes on her two sons Will and Finn. They were, they are, and forever will be the center of her universe. She drives her kids 20 miles each way before and after school to give them a great private school education. In addition, Kris is fiercely devoted to her husband whom she has been married to for 20 years (something rarely seen in today’s society). To see Kris is to experience a seemingly inexhaustible power house. Kris is the happiest when she is constantly in motion. She always has a project going whether it is re-arranging her furniture at home or re-arranging her life. When she is not running around doing a million things, she can be found curled up with a stack of books which she goes through like most people eat jelly beans. With this much energy it is no surprise that two days ago Kris did something life changing for her and her family. She passed her exam and was appointed to the Foreign Service Department. It will only be a matter of time before Kris leaves town to start her new life abroad; This is a job that she is well suited for and will be a great use of her skills. Indeed the United States will benefit by having Kris as an ambassador on foreign soil. As they say in the Walt Disney Children’s Movie, Mulan—she will bring Honor to us all.
