What Is A 'Teau Mama

If you're confused about what a 'Teau Mama is, I must clarify. Firstly, let me say confused people are my favorite because the pressure of keeping up with you is lessened for me. I appreciate confusion in a friend. Immensely.
Of course we all know what a Mama is. If you are a female parent you are a Mama (which, by the way, must always be capitalized). If you are a mother who lives on the Sammamish plateau, you are a 'Teau Mama.
We are the mothers who shop at the Sammamish Highlands Plaza, who must leave the Plateau to buy shoes, who send our children to some of the best schools in the country. If we can afford it, we have our pedicure done to reward ourselves for enduring this rotten winter weather, we run to the library with the kids, shuttle to sports practises, some of us work beyond the family, we speak Microsoft, we try our darndest to be the best possible version we can be and still devote ourselves to our children first and our mate, second. We take our kids to summer swim in Pine Lake, to the wonderful playgrounds that dot the Plateau, to piano lessons, to Star WArs camp, we drive carefully, serve pancakes for dinner when groceries are low and try to listen to our own music in the car but it's difficult when the kids can't settle on a movie and want to listen to the CD player.
Mothers rock this world and 'Teau Mamas are no different. You know when they say 'the world doesn't revolve around you'? Well it actually does revolve around us. Without us nothing would get done, the whole world, and specifically Sammamish, would cease to exist as we know it, instead turning into some Blade Runner, HALO existence of testosterone and fast food.
Give yourself a pat on the back ladies and next time you look in the mirror don't be hard on yourself. Congratulate yourself that you are a 'Teau Mama and that life does revolve around you but you are gracious enough to make it look like everyone has a hand in making life as sweet as it is. Happy Belated Mother's Day!
