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!

Note to self

This Monday morning was a little bit more rushed than usual. But I managed to make everyone lunch, morning snack and breakfast. Remembered Theo's library book and Bella's PTA note. I remembered to give school supplies for the kids' class. Most importantly I remembered it was picture day so I made sure Theo wore a clean shirt and braided Bella's hair. I felt pretty good about doing all of that in an hour. In the middle of this whirlwind, my 6th grader was having a hard time getting up this morning so I sweetly offered to drive him to school, half way across town. You can't be late in middle school or you get a detention! So we hop in the car, make our way through the traffic and make it to the front of the school with 2 minutes to spare. I'm feeling so good that we've made it when I look down and realize that I'm wearing my pink pajama bottoms and a bright pink flimsy tank top and that Gabriel needs me to get out of the car and open the door for him.

Ready Set Sweat!

Spring is here. Are you ready? Spring in the city meant going out for a nice clothing shopping spree to update my wardrobe. It was delightful (not necessarily for my wallet mind you). Out here, it's much more serious. You need the right wardrobe of course, but most importantly you need the right body. You need a body that's "swimsuit ready." Everywhere I turn it seems like women in my town are trying new trainers, new diets, new detox methods so that come Memorial Day they will be worthy of going to the beach in a swimsuit. I'm all for working out but I'm a tad scared....Will I make it?  Do I care enough? I keep telling myself that I have another deadline. I'm working towards my 40th to be in the best shape of my life so if I don't make the Memorial Day deadline so be it, I have another three months. Still I'm a tad scared at the prospect of showing up at the beach amidst all of these "beach ready mom babes!" Are you "swim...

Don't Go Changing!

Some of you may have wondered how living in the burbs has changed me over the last two years.... today I received confirmation that two of my key traits are intact. 1. I have no sense of direction what so ever. Hubby who's been at my side for 20 years can give you plenty of stories to back that up. Let me share my morning drive. I was rushing from Stamford to Westport which is a distance of about twenty miles. About 8 minutes into the drive it was clear that the road I was on, I95, was badly congested and not showing any signs of improvement. So I said to myself I think I know another way home....let me give it a try. Guess what happened? After following my "internal compass "AND the car GPS I not only made no progress, I actually went the wrong way and ended up BACK in Stamford!!!! Yeap! thought I was going North but I was totally heading South. 2. I can't stick to a budget! Now don't get me wrong it's not that I don't want to stick to a budget, it...
