With quintuplets and their two older siblings, this New Jersey mom is 'cooking for an army' while quarantining.
“Quiet time” and “head space.” The Keogh siblings, wizened by a lifetime of co-existing, are onto something.These are challenging times for families of all sizes. Shutting down society has massive mental-health repercussions, and there’s just not enough discussion about that right now. The governor can order restaurants to close and people to stay home, but he can’t order them to get along in those homes. The longer this goes on, the harder that gets.
“This could cause a lot of chaos in the mind,” said Dr. Maher Awad, medical director of Child Psychiatry Services at Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch, New Jersey, part of the RWJ Barnabas Health system.“The anxiety of the parents always reflects on the kids. If the parents are in control, it’s a lot easier to manage a kid’s anxiety.
In the Keogh house, when the livestreamed classes end and the studying’s done, everyone emerges from their private corner for an important ritual: the family dinner.On Friday, in keeping with the Catholic strictures of Lent, Susan Keogh made a vat of macaroni and cheese.“I have to say I love dinnertime because it’s like old times, everybody around the table,” she said. “I know it’s horrible for everybody to be quarantined, but for me, I couldn’t be happier. I love having my kids home.
She bought a truckload of pasta and 48 rolls of paper towels, but Susan Keogh also has something you can’t find on a shelf.“Enjoy the time together and listen to each other,” she advised. “I don’t think you appreciate it until you don’t have it.” After dinner, her seven kids cleared the kitchen table and used it for another timeless familial activity, albeit one not known for keeping the peace.The new normal of funerals:

Report: 80% Of Women Currently Wearing Wrong Size Bra, Shirt, Shoes, Pants, HatSTANFORD, CA—Apparel and textile researchers at Stanford University reported Thursday that, after 18 months of comparing garment and accessory sizes to the wearer’s actual measurements, 80 percent of American women are currently wearing the wrong size bras, shirts, shoes, pants, and hats. “Once we took accurate body measurements and cross-referenced them with items of clothing instead of, say, allowing women to hold garments up against themselves while looking in the mirror, we discovered that four out of five have it completely wrong,” said lead researcher Gloria Denton concerning the report, which also found that the 20 percent of women who managed to find a pair of decent-fitting shoes or a hat that didn’t drop over their eyes were still wearing pants or tops that were either too tight, too loose, the wrong length, or simply draped poorly over their bodies. “In extreme cases, we discovered women shopping online will repeatedly use the wrong sock, belt, glove, and even ring size to purchase clothing. Moreover, collected data demonstrate that a full 100 percent of all women were wearing bras with incorrect measurements in every aspect of band width, strap length, and cup size, although we concluded you can’t really blame them for that. It’s almost worse than buying decent jeans—I mean, jeans? Fuck me.” The report linked findings to a variety of factors, notably “vanity sizes” and brand disparities among clothing manufacturers, but maintained that the root cause of the issue was in there being absolutely no reference for accuracy as no woman on record has ever worn a complete ensemble that all fit.
