MOMMIES WHO DRINK Sex, Drugs, and Other Distant Memories of an Ordinary Mom

Forget the expected scenes of motherhood-women gathered together to swap recipes and remedies for colicky babies. Actress/writer Brett Paesel and her girlfriends manage to grab a happy hour on Friday afternoons at their favorite watering hole. Paesel reveals how she copes with the weekly transformation from single swinger back to wife and mother of two. In her hilarious introduction, she dreams of doing cocaine in the back of a limo, but pregnancy yoga classes, toddler play dates, and pediatrician visits interfere. Paesel tells it like it is, with an irresistible blend of good humor, painful anxieties, including the agonies of childhood illnesses, and offbeat advice. This is a must for hip new moms.
