Book

"Excuse me ma'am" {(or miss), depending on if with baby or not}, "may I help you?"

"I'm looking for a book called 'Being a Housewife: How to Stay Sane and Off Drugs'?"

"Oh, I'm sorry ma'am, we don't carry that line of self-help anymore, nobody was interested."

"Ok, thanks". Maybe I'll just write it myself. Maybe during the 15 mins. a day that I actually have to myself. Maybe during the nights-dawns-early mornings... What the heck, I'm insane already anyway... could lack of sleep really make it any worse? For starters: there would NOT be a young, thin and energetic looking model on the cover.

{Gameshow-host voice} Heeeellouuuuuu ladies and welllllcome to your self-help How-to-Stay-Sane-and-Off-Drugs-While-Being-a-Homemaker-book. If it's Winter and it gets dark where you live, brace yourself and look elsewhere for help. If it's Springtime, then we might just have a thing or two for you. {Well, that's a great start. Now the baby's crying. I should time these time-for-yourself-sessions...}
