Well someone who was also obviously annoyed by Ayelet&#8217;s piece has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.popfactor.com\/tmftml\/archives\/001995.html\">written down what is a &#8220;day in the life of Ayelet&#8221;<\/a>.  You&#8217;ve got to read it.<\/p>\n<p>One snippet to get the party started:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>1:00 P.M. Drag the kids along to Toys in Babeland. The owners called last night to let me know that there&#8217;s a whole new section of stuff my husband can stick into me. I&#8217;m so excited. Eldest daughter somewhat disturbed when I explain the purpose of the double-headed dildo to her.<\/p>\n<p>1:30 P.M. Compare prices on three-pronged rubber truncheon at Good Vibrations. It&#8217;s slightly more expensive than at Babeland, but they split the difference since I&#8217;m in so often. Youngest boy goes crazy with spray-on lube while I&#8217;m at the counter. So embarrassing\u0085 I never thought I&#8217;d be one of those moms who has \u0093difficult\u0094 children. Depression returns.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But oh, there&#8217;s so much more.  Funny funny.  Mean-funny, which is sometimes the best kind of humor.<\/p>\n<p>I especially like this detail:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>2:45 P.M. Begin writing column for Salon.<\/p>\n<p>2:46 P.M. File column with Salon.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>BWAHAHAHA<\/p>\n<p>(via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bookslut.com\/blog\/archives\/2005_03.php#004966\">Book Slut<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why?
