Survival Aid

I saw this in my local liquor store yesterday. Someone knows their audience! This is exactly how many women survive motherhood in the burbs! It also explains the erratic driving behavior I see out here.

    if it included a beach, a palm tree and a book, it would be perfect!

What's worse?

What's worse than having to drive EVERYWHERE, instead of walking like I used to in the city? What's worse than living in Wall-e world? Not being able to drive at all! It was bad enough having to drive everywhere I need to go but it's way worse not being able to drive at all, thanks to my bruised back. Now I feel completely isolated and stranded in the suburbs. I literally have no escape route. My new motto is, enjoy today you have no idea just how much worse tomorrow may be!!!

Home gym newbies

A couple of weeks ago we reached 10 degrees Fahrenheit out here in the countryside, and that's when it became officially too cold to go jogging to the beach. So I had two options (beyond bootcamp ) join a gym or buy a machine and start a home gym. Joining a gym would mean having to drive there. On the plus side it would also mean that Bella would get to see other kids her age at the babysitting place. But a home gym would mean that I could do it whenever I felt like it. Anyway I went for the home option. After all these years of having to share a gym with stinky guys or annoying women who can't stop talking, I couldn't resist the lure of privacy.

Anyway after lengthy discussions with hubby we decide that the unfinished basement whi...

I've spent quite a bit of time over the last year, writing about about the pros and cons of the suburbs. Well let's face it maybe a little bit more about the cons. Last night I was moaning a little bit to hubby about the lack of diversity in the burbs. I really feel that it's important for my kids to interact with people from different ethnic and social backgrounds. I thought I was making a fair point. But hubbie's reaction was less than enthusiastic. He reminded me that in our NYC neighborhood there may have been ethnic diversity but the common denominator was wealth. He also reminded me that for the privilege of living there we were sacrificing on other fronts. At first I reacted badly to this. I always take the pro-city side in any conversation. But upon reflection, I realize that hubby was pointing out something important. In fact he pointed out something that I've been telling my coaching clients. Be grateful. No matter where you are the first step is to be...
