Naturally I fully intended to meet my weekly deadline and as usual, present you with a mind-boggling masterpiece of domestic wit and satire.  But my dog ate it.

Okay I’m lying.  But I did have to take Hank the Hound…

Not too long ago yet another study was conducted on a housewife/mother would earn if she actually received an annual salary.  Yet again, they (whoever “They” are) grossly underestimated our net worth.
