Okay so from the title you must know it is not about me. One- i don't drink, two- I am not a Mommy... yet.
But Stefanie over at Baby on Bored is a Mommy who USED to drink.
Anyway a great article in the New York Times about her.... a great read!
She also has an excerpt from her new book, "Its Not Me, Its You" on her blog now, a super funny read. This book is a must bring to me in Cairo when my Mom comes in the Spring. Unless of course FEDEX magically delivers me a copy...
* EDIT- Aunt Becky from Mommy Wants Vodka was mentioned in the article, although I think the mention was misleading. If you know the Beckster you will agree. Well maybe.

I thought it was a cool article too.
ReplyDeleteThe article talking about boredom driving women to drink reminds me of the Simpsons episode when Homer gets a new job, the family gets relocated to a new town, and their corporation-provided fancy house is totally automated -- self-cleaning oven, self-vacuuming, etc. Marge no longer has anything to do and decides to take up drinking.
ReplyDeleteAnd I was thinking, upon reading the title, that it will be about Egyptian Mummies, as in ancient Pharos.. LOL
ReplyDeleteI agree...Aunt Becky's mention in the NYTimes was totally misleading. Just a case of judging a blog by it's title :-)
ReplyDeleteI read the article too. Oh and I am "Beth" in Stef's latest book, so think of me when you read it. I'm sure you will be shocked at some of my past behavior.
ReplyDeleteTotally misleading. This is the third of fifty-seventh article I've been referenced in for exactly the same thing.
ReplyDeleteI try to remind myself that at least it increases traffic. I really should have called my blog "Mommy Wants Cocaine" just to distance myself from that crazy lady who killed her kids.
