When dinnertime arrived, the "Big Chicken Plan" began to disintegrate.
The teenage vegetarian-in-residence flounced out, announcing, "I'd
rather eat frozen pizza in my room than have the death of a chicken on
my conscience."

I got creative one night and put frozen blueberries on top of cereal,
and did my children thank me? No. They whined for Daddy's bacon, egg
and cheese sandwiches. I served boiled broccoli with my special Tofu
Scrambler, and did they appreciate the healthy, home-cooked fare? No.
They asked if we could order pizza.

When I hear the phrase “multitasking mom,” I get an instant mental
picture. I picture a smiling, put-together woman exercising on the
treadmill, working her Blackberry, and effortlessly wrangling her
children, all at the same time. If only I were that cool! Oh, don’t get
me wrong; I can multitask like the most Alpha of moms if I have to.
It’s just that my best multitasking takes place . . . on the toilet.

I have a new favorite TV show, "My Super Sweet 16." Yes, a grown woman
is addicted to a reality show on MTV. And yes, there are enough crazy
rich people out there spending six figures on a Sweet 16 party to make
a series about it.

The time is 6:15 am on a Sunday. I’ve been up since 4:30 am. Am I a
little eager? Of course, it is my annual girlfriend getaway and I’m
late to arrive. Why you say? Let’s just say I have not completely
embraced the “put mama on the top of the to-do list” philosophy but I
am getting there!

You know, always assuming that Thanksgiving dinner should be held at their house. Declaring that they alone are entitled to inherit Grandma's good china. And that it's their God-given right — in fact, it's their job — to choose the decorations, cake color, guest list and swizzle stick design for Mom and Dads' golden anniversary.

Singles searching for a spouse often believe that matrimony is the golden ticket to a lifetime of great sex, matching towels, funky artwork and meaningful conversations. Kind of like a Pottery Barn catalogue come to life.

A day or so ago, my (just turned!) four year old daughter pranced out
of the playroom attired from head to toe in dress-up silks and lace.
She struck a pose and did a little pirouette. Then, with a flutter of
her ridiculously long eyelashes, she simpered and announced, "I'm
attractive to men."
