You really regret the spelling of "Lela" because it is frequently mispronounced. You live in Columbia Heights and you had been really counting on the lottery to come through for you, but Lela didn't get it anywhere good for PS-3 and now you are freaking out. You had a dream of raising city kids but it is so hard on your part-time income as graphic designer and your DH's non-profit salary. You absolutely refuse to move to the suburbs and you aren't quite sure where Ashburn is located. You don't even like to fly out of Dulles!

You met your DH when you were living in a group house. He was actually your house-mate's date but you felt this amazing chemistry and the rest is history. She didn't come to your wedding. You had a bi-sexual phase in college and sometimes you see a hot woman on the street and think hmmm. You were a philosophy major at a very expensive private college (luckily your parents picked up the tab!) and your DH was raised abroad by diplomats. He did two years in the Peace Corps. You love him but sometimes wish you had married someone with the potential to earn more.

Your family is an interesting mix of race and cultures. You wanted names for your girls that would honor this while also being unique and feminine. Lela is a natural leader and competitive in everything she tries, while Sasha is more reserved and gentle. You and your husband adore your daughters, but you sometimes disagree on how to parent them. You tend to baby them, while your husband has very high expectations. You enjoy living an urban life and being surrounded by a variety of people, but you have recently been considering a move to the suburbs. Your husband is resistant to this and worries that your family will have a difficult time finding friends or like minded families. He likes being able to walk down the street for Ethiopian or Thai and watching the girls play at the park with kids of all colors. You are tired of living in an apartment and want to have a yard, even if it is a small yard for the girls and perhaps a future dog. Growing up in the South, you miss having a place to really call "home" and feel the urge to be more settled. You bicker about money and spending decisions. You want your girls to grow up to be confident, compassionate women and you want them to have a close sister bond, but right now they tease and taunt each other a lot. Your like watching documentary films on Netflix, discovering new food trucks, and making love with your husband.

Yea! This was amazing, though not a single thing is true. In fact, most is the polar opposite of our family. But such creativity! BTW, "Lela" is spelled phonetically and is a name from my DH's heritage)

Damn, PP. That was pretty good.

You are Politics and Prose junkies who love retro diners. You occasionally and spontaneously hop in the car for a day trip that turns into a three day road trip. Your boss doesn't like this flaky side of you, but your graphic design work is just too good to let you go. Your husband is a musician, but his work has been less regular and he is starting to enjoy the stay at home dad thing. Mad Men pisses you off, Downtown Abbey bores you, and you have fond memories of watching Hee Haw with your grammy. Your family thought Oliver was kind of an unusual name for a child, but they were mostly relieved that it wasn't a more bizarre choice. They were also glad when your dreadlock phase during college came to an end. Oliver is a cute kid, but he does have a penchant for temper tantrums and that drives you bonkers. Your best friends are the gay couple across the street and you can't ever remember being this happy before. The discussion about having another kid is on-going and you vacillate on it, especially after reading that recent NY Times editorial on only-children.

You had your children later in life and they are close in age. You are worried that Daniel might have ADHD but have resisted a formal diagnosis. Your DH is the scattered, scientific type; you teach elementary school. You met on match.com but are old enough to be slightly self-conscious of this fact. You love NPR and Danskos, but still have a great figure from good genes and yoga.

You belong to the J-CC, but haven't found a synagogue that really fits your family and you aren't sure if your sons really want to do the whole Bar Mitzvah thing. Your summer schedule is packed with a wide variety of summer camp sessions: lego reobotics, science, soccer, rock climbing, and Spanish. You enjoy occasional family camping trips and are in the midst of planning a big trip to the Grand Canyon. Your husband and your sons get more of a kick out of the outdoor endeavors than you do, but you go along because you enjoy seeing them have fun and you want them to think of you as the cool mom.You are realizing how quickly time is slipping past and you are already starting to worry about how empty and quiet the house will be once the boys go to college. Your husband has floated the possibility of temporarily working overseas for his company and that is something you would both enjoy, especially if it was in Italy or France. Your in-laws live in the area and a regular part of your lives, but your own parents live several hours away and as they get older you have been making more frequent trips back home. You are now starting to face the reality that they might need to more support. You have considered having them live with you, but you know your husband wouldn't be able to tolerate that. Chocolate mint ice cream gives you comfort on late nights.
