Download or read book Diary of a Bad Housewife written by Emma Beasley and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-11-09 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have three kids, four cats, two dogs, one husband, and a migraine. My oldest son is an MD: Manic Depressive. My middle child won't be happy until she has lost enough weight to buy her clothes in the Barbie aisle. My youngest son sleeps all day and prowls around all night. I don't have his test results back yet, but I'm pretty sure he's a vampire. Life is like a box of chocolates for some. For me, it's more like the popular board game by Parker Bros: Monotony. No matter how meticulously I sweep, mop, and vacuum, I turn around and have to do it all again in six months. There was a time when an unfulfilled housewife could stick her head inside a gas oven and end it all while still retaining a modicum of dignity. If my husband comes home from work to find my head in the microwave, I'm just going to look silly. The afterlife is likely overrated anyway. Take the silk gowns for example. Ironically, most women wouldn't be caught dead wearing white after labor day. Besides, neatness has never been my strong suit. I will spill coffee or grape juice on it the first day. In other words, I'll be doing laundry again. And if that silk doesn't need to be dry cleaned, those wings surely will. I'm a realist. My husband imagines spending eternity lounging around on a fluffy cloud and doing absolutely nothing - a role for which he is supremely qualified. I, on the other hand, anticipate that the cloud's moisture will make my hair go limp. Heaven might not be an option because my husband is an atheist and I'm exhausted. People sometimes ask if that concerns me. What they don't realize is that when you're married, as long as you and your spouse are together for the rest of eternity, you're going to be in hell either way.

Book excerpt: INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From Brian Moylan, the writer of Vulture’s legendary Real Housewives recaps, a table-flipping, finger-pointing, halter-topping VIP journey through reality TV’s greatest saga... In the spring of 2006, a new kind of show premiered on Bravo: The Real Housewives of Orange County. Its stars were tanned, taut, and bedazzled; their homes were echoey California villas; and their drama was gossip-fueled, wine-drenched, and absolutely exquisite. Fifteen seasons on, RHOC is an institution, along with The Real Housewives of New York, Atlanta, New Jersey, Miami, Potomac, and more. Over the years these ladies have done a lot more than lunch, launching thirty-one books, a cocktail line, two jail sentences, a couple supermodel daughters, Andy Cohen’s talk show career, thirty-six divorces, fourteen albums, a White House party crash, and approximately one million memes. Brian Moylan has been there through it all, in front of the screen and behind the scenes. The writer of Vulture’s beloved series recaps, he’s here to tell us the full story, from the inside scoop on every classic throwdown to the questions we’ve always wanted to know, like—what are the housewives really like off-camera? (The same.) How much money do they make? (Lots.) He has a lot to say about the legacy and fandom of a franchise that’s near and dear to his heart, and inextricable from pop culture today. A must-have for any fan of real drama and fake [redacted], The Housewives is the definitive companion to an American TV treasure.

Download or read book My Husband s Wife written by Nick Haskins and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-03 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My Husband's Wife showcases the portal of a distorted husband, two loving wives, and three soon-to-be-shattered lives. When Dr. Reynolds said "I do," he meant it both times. He married Katie Morgan--the sassy, unsuccessful, hateful blonde seven days, fourteen hours, six minutes, and thirteen seconds before he wedded Courtney Byrd--the ambitious entrepreneur who has everything including an Ivy League education, thin waist, and a Colgate smile. Erick Reynolds, who poses as Eric (E-R-I-C) Reynolds and Erik (E-R-I-K) Reynolds, has been medically characterized as a dejected schizophrenic case. Disintegration of thought and auditory hallucinations, mixed with paranoia and bizarre delusions doesn't stop Erick from molding himself into the image of a wealthy dentist to capture the hearts of his two wives. Just as Erick was becoming comfortable with his position as the perfect husband, Courtney mistakenly fumbles across information leading straight to the other Mrs. Dr. Erick Reynolds. The wives then painfully discover their colonial brick style homes share the same zip code, their five-carat diamond wedding rings were cut from the same jeweler, and they're married to the exact same man: a calculated imposter who led them both to believe he was placed on this earth to love, honor, and cherish until death does them part...

A new woman comes to live in the trailer park and ends up having an affair with Willi's husband. When she finds out, Willi decides to get a job at the local Wal-Mart (a first step on the way to liberating herself from him). Her husband will have none of it, and quoting the bible about how a wife is supposed to obey her husband, threatens all three women with a gun, and then beats Willi to within an inch of her life. She recovers enough to finally shoot him, releasing her from the torment that she'd been living in for years.--From publisher description.
