The place of mess

Mary is fed up with the mess her life has become. With two young children and an even messier husband, she struggles to keep her home—and her life—organized. She thinks her husband, Joel, isn't very cooperative with household chores, and to prove it, she devises a plan: inspired by the star chart that helps her raise her children (a sticker for every good behavior), she decides to create a spreadsheet with all her husband's successes and failures. If in six months this list of pros and cons proves that Joel isn't useless and that all the stress in the relationship is worth it, he'll stay; if not, he won't. With a lot of humor, Christina Hopkinson brings an insightful view of love, marriage, motherhood, children and work.nbsp/p pemldquoA sharp look at the madness of modern life and love.rdquo strongPublishers Weeklynsps/strong/em/p/p/p/p/p/p
