Oh, Modern Technology, we thank thee...especially for machines that clean our things like automatic dishwashers and washing machines!
How spoiled we are, to shop at a corner store and chose our food instead of hunting and gathering for it like our ancestors did!
How blessed we are, to live in a city brimming with weekly farmer's markets in every neighborhood!
But still...
We may not have to grow our own food or debone a carcass (how disgusting!) but the daily/weekly ritual of getting groceries from market to table is, well, exhausting.
How did my mom do it for so many people, for so many years? I never heard her complain but, no doubt, she suffered in silence. It was, after all, her duty as well as her position as domestic engineer.
And smile all the while.
But that was then. Luckily, no longer is it a woman's-only department to shop and schlep provisions. Women may have a ways to go before attaining 100% equal rights, but we've come a long, long way from the days of being relegated to running a household only.
From CEO's to United States presidential campaigner, nowadays women are running multi-million dollar businesses everywhere.
Domestic engineer? You bet!
But Oh, Soooo much more!!!
