I Have A Work Husband. Should My Real Husband Be Nervous?

Our Ask A MWLTF columnist — yes, that's Mother Who Likes to F*ck — is back today! And she's counseling somebody who gets along with her new coworker maybe a little too well: "About a month ago, my department brought on a new creative director with whom I'd be working closely," she writes. "After only a couple weeks of working with him closely, I'm pretty sure we're in love. Nothing physical has happened between us, but the electricity between us is undeniable. Suddenly work has become like play and home has become like work. I can hardly wait to get up in the morning and get into the office. I feel sad and let down when the clock strikes five."

Uh-oh! Read what Penelope has to tell her.

— Kelly Faircloth, Executive Editor

The Best Thing I Ever Did Was Join The Circus

"I've had my fair share of attempted and abandoned hobbies," writes Molly Wadzeck Kraus. "Some filled a temporary gap, a craving I didn't know I had, while others fell flat, miserable failures from the start. Each one taught me the importance of balancing the demands of motherhood with my need for personal fulfillment. But one stands out about the rest. One has stood the test of time. And that hobby is the circus." And she's written a lovely essay explaining just what appeals to her about it. Maybe it'll inspire you!
