So, how was your weekend? Ours was lovely. We did indeed spend most of it by the pool, and some of us even got to have a cocktail or two while we were at it.

You know something? I had a revelation this weekend. My life, it’s like a TV show. A typical, NBC, Thursday night TV show. How so, you ask? Let me tell you.

We have the single, unwed, young (and uber-hot* ) mother of three…
The brunette, brooding, serious brother and the blonde, silly, comic-relief brother…
The teenage, football star boy and his goofball, eccentric friend next door who is always over eating all the peanut butter sandwiches…
The curly headed, big eyed, painfully cute toddler girl…
And last but not least, The Aunts. Every good bad show has The Aunts. The crazy, drunk, cigarette-smoking-baby-pinching-beer-swinging-curse-saying-boy-crazy aunts. Yep, we’ve got those, too.
Add the obligatory yellow lab,
one house, a swimming pool and a lot of Midol every twenty-one days and you pretty much have my everyday life.
