Mother of the year!
I was just reading Lorelai The Bell Jar as I tried to get her to fall asleep. Husband said "if we find her with her head in the oven, you know who to blame!" Mother of the year, right here! #baby #sylviaplath #thebelljar

Break out the Xanax... again
I still have the library's copy of The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath sitting in my car behind the passenger's seat from when we had to read it for the challenge. Almost every day, Husband asks me if I returned it to the library yet... and every day he gets a sheepish look from me. Then he tells me that The Library Policeman is going to come for me.
