Oh, I remember those days. Only I didn’t have a sister next door, or a husband who’d pitch in. I didn’t get a full night’s sleep until the youngest was six.But they’re really keen people now that they’re adults!
I have never wanted to clean the house. What I wanted was to have the house to be clean, without my having to go to all that trouble to make it so.Joan’s children are very charming today (if you can find Luci – she’s not immediately apparent). But I have a question: when Joan says she has soccer momaspirations, does she mean with regard to Max, or Luci? or both?
“Soccer mom aspirations” just means, you want to be a perfect mom, clean house, mini van, well-behaved children, put-together, all that… not that you actually want to put your child into soccer. So, in regards to that, it means both children.

Not one of Joan’s better days, it appears …

At least the kid is not wearing his underwear.

Be honest, now- do you know anybody who actually WANTS to clean house?

I don’t blame Joan for relaxing. Lucy is asleep. Max is being someone what quiet just enjoy.

This is SO familiar. But Joan shouldn’t let her pantone colour strips lie around for the kids to play with, even if they are sort of obsolete.

Max looks catatonic — or like he’s about to explode!

The details, as always, are spot-on. There’s so much in a panel…

But I would bet Joan has happy children anyway, regardless of results. ;)

Heh, love the Pantone chip book splayed out on the floor…
There’s aspirations and then there’s reality… Some days it balances in one direction, other days, whirlwind Max and storm Luci hit.
