With Groundhog Day being this week, Stapleton mom Kathy Shaner can\u2019t help but compare the underappreciated film to her own life.  \u201cThe truth is, a lot of days I feel like I am waking up, living the same day over and over,\u201d said Shaner.  \u201cGet kids ready for school, watch husband leave for work, take kids to school, yoga, Starbucks, housework, pick kids up from school, after-school activities, etc., etc.  The days kind of blend together, and I can hardly discern one day from the next.\u201d\nIn the picture show Groundhog Day, Bill Murray\u2019s character Phil Connors ends up making some positive life changes which ultimately help him escape reliving the same day over and over.  Shaner is not sure what she can do to escape the rigorously monotonous routine she seems stuck in.  \u201cWhat if I\u2019m wrong, and I\u2019m not reliving the same day over and over,\u201d says Shaner.  \u201cI take the risk that I could be negatively affecting all the lives around me including my kids.  It\u2019s just too big a risk to take.   So, I\u2019ll keep going through every day, until something happens that snaps me out of my tedious, daily routine.\u201d  The only thing that may break Shaner out of the circle is if some girlfriends take her out on a Thursday night.  So, if you\u2019re friends with Kathy, please, give her a call, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theberkshirerestaurant.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">take her out<\/a> for a big night of drinking.  It might be her only hope.\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-6168","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-121","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6168","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6168"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6168\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6168"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6168"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6168"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
