After I had Claire, a friend dropped off a few books that were light reads. The Nanny Diaries was one of them. I started reading tidbits from it to Kenny. Then he started reading it and we were competing for book time. I remember laughing out loud, it was really funny.
it's good to hear from you, mrs. s. while the "diaries" are a fun read, any mama with half a heart can't help but feel sick knowing that they aren't too far off the mark!
we are blessed to be with our babies.
I have to ask what an "ouiser boudreaux" is? My maiden name is Boudreaux so my curiousity is piqued.
