As I become older (and older – thank you Target for always having quality skin care products on sale), I find that one of the key ways to becoming smarter at the home front is sometimes to just f*cking let go and not obsess about “getting it all done.”

That said, unlike the majority of this city, my children are not in school until September: one after Labor Day and the other not until September 10th (thank you temple pre-schools).  So rather than kill myself to stay “on task” (not that I ever truly am) I have decided to surrender to the tide and enjoy the last days of summer with my family.  Hence, I am taking a 3 week hiatus from writing any posts and giving into the tide.

So if you feel that you’re headed down the path of turning into a nagging, lunatic, frantic bitch at home because you’re not being realistic about what is doable vs. not doable, then pause and just stop fighting the tide………….that my friend, will make you smart.

Have a great Labor Day and I’ll meet you all back here mid September…
