On the second day of school, I took a vacation.
After three months of Husband, three children and Juno (the slobbery English Mastiff) being home ALL summer, quiet time was certainly overdue.
I embraced that time by finally renting the movie "I Don't Know How She Does It" starring Sarah Jessica Parker. I rented it for two reasons; one) Husband is sick of my chick flick choices and two) This movie is my life (except I don't make that much money, we don't have a nanny, we don't live in Boston and we have three kids instead of two.) Other than that, pretty much art imitating life.
I was surprisingly happy with my DVD choice because if it was a rotten one, no one would roll their eyes at me and say "well, that's another two hours of my life I will never get back..." (Words never muttered by Husband.)
I think all the juggling she has to do is realistic and don't even get me started with the pressure of baking for school! My biggest fiasco (other than forgetting that it was my turn to bring in a class snack) was the time I spent hours making cupcakes that were supposed to look like ground hogs, but looked nothing like ground hogs. If there was a 'Cake Wrecks' for cupcakes, I would have made the cut.
As a former SAHM and now basically a Jane-of-all-trades freelancer, there are very few luxuries in my life, and scheduling one day off is a HUGE luxury.
Anyway, I liked the movie, I think all moms and dads should watch it. If you did, tell me what you thought!

I saw this a couple of weeks ago. It was alright. But I know how she does it...the nanny! What I don't know how she does is be away from her children so often. I know this is a reality of life for many women, but I would have to switch jobs or something during my child's young years. It would just break my heart to miss that much!
