Jeanne,

If you haven't seen Desperate Housewives, take a look on Sunday nights on
ABC. It is a "must see" for me, and I very seldom watch any TV.

I'll bet just about anyone can find all or parts of themselves in one of the
characters.

I see my daughter-in-law in the harried stay-at-home mom with the wild kids
who used to be an executive. Jenny was an art therapist in a rehab center,
then married Kevin and had three kids and became of full-time mom. One of
her boys is a true hellion, with her already being called to school for his
problems - and he is only 4 years old!
