Why I could never get a Ph.D

At Open Book, The Feminine Mystique meets Life Among the Savages.

So Saturday morning as I was sitting here with some rare, but desperately needed book-writing time, I decided (of course) to go to the library and find a couple of books I'd been wanting to read, neither of which have anything to do with what I'm writing. I was successful, and returned home and essentially spent all day reading (you can sit on your back porch and read while watching two little boys tear around the back yard and still feel like a semi-decent mother.)
