Flotsam and Jetsam

My new "Hip Mom" column is up - with most of my snarkiness intact! Yes, it's about boob jobs. My mother-in-law will be thrilled. Ahem.

Does anyone think Kate Middleton's dress was a bit...staid? Am I the ONLY one who thought she could have gone a bit sexier? Not that she needs to be flaunting cleavage or anything, but she doesn't have anything to hide.

I thought Pippa, however, looked rather hot. Appropriately hot, of course.

In other odd and assorted topics, I am thinking about going BACK TO WORK. Why? Sheesh, I don't know. Maybe I am tired worrying about money all the time. Not so much money for food, fortunately, but money for everything else: house repairs, new tires, kiddie clothing, COLLEGE. Maybe my mothering has been less than stellar lately. Perhaps bordering on abysmal, even. Maybe I've read a recent book that says genetics rule; your kids are going to turn out pretty much like you, no matter what you do. What your kids will remember, though, is how happy you were and how you treated them. Maybe I want the kind of help with my children that only a good full time salary can buy. Maybe I'm worried if I'm ever going to get back in, I need to get back in soon.

Who knows how this will go, my friends. I may not get any interviews, let alone a job. I may discover that my salary will barely cover the cost of help, additional taxes, additional commuting costs, lunches out, and my NEW WARDROBE. And while it's not too painful to think of leaving boys who are in school most of the day, the thought of leaving these little girls makes me a bit nauseous.


AAARGH. I might wimp out before I even begin.
