I can do everything. At once. So why is there a mountain of laundry still on my couch?

This sounds like an awesome book! I can relate on many different levels. Can’t wait to read more!

So lovely to see you as a repeater in my reader, BTW.

Any of those robot liars, I don’t want to know them either. They’re from mars anyway, right?

It’s school vacation week for us. Am I taking my kids to enriching activities–museums, the zoo, even just out for a bagel lunch? Nope. I’m letting them run amok while I either 1) try to get a little work done, or 2) read a book on the couch. Letting them forage in the snack cabinet for whatever they want. They seem fine with it.

For me, the hardest interactions with those “perfect” moms are with those who are big into the healthy eating thing, and will preach to you about the dangers of food dyes and sugar and white flour any chance they get. I know my kids could eat better. But I also have one child with a genetic bone disorder that even the healthiest diet won’t fix. I think it’s given me a different perspective on health…that we can try to teach good habits, but we cannot ensure that our kids will be completely healthy.

I have followed Amy’s blog for a while but haven’t read the book so had to comment to get in on the action!

My mothering career reality? I am practically perfect in every way. (my definition of ‘practically’ is not Oxford English compliant)
