Pan Macmillan Australia, Nov 10, 2007 - Fiction - 432 pages

"Because sometimes coffee isn't nearly enough and you have to take a deep breath, maintain control, and assess the situation...or just reach for the scotch."

The twice-divorced mother of three is back. New, improved and stronger than ever-but still struggling to keep her head above water, even in the bath.

And what a week it is in the Riley/Brown/McNeill household. There's one wedding, two babies, three engagements and four birthdays. Then ex-ex-husband Alex's long-awaited return from overseas heralds unexpected results, which in turn heralds the arrival of a most unwanted guest.

Meanwhile, Sam wants to join the armed forces, Ben is setting up embarrassing money-making schemes and CJ's wreaking havoc with sharp fairy wands.

Along the way there's an infectious disease outbreak, a mysterious death in the family, a broken nose, a bruised rump and several bruised egos. Can life get more frenetic than this?
