<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Her family's new, organized schedule for easy housekeeping makes Anastasia confident that she can run the household while her mother is out of town, until she hits unexpected complications.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Anybody can run a household. All you need is a schedule. At least, that's what Anastasia thinks. So she and her dad decide to organize Anastasia's frazzled mother and help her run the household smoothly. But when Mom has to go away for a consulting job, Anastasia gets to test out her theory. The household quickly begins to crumble as Anastasia has to face Sam's chicken pox, an unexpected visit from her father's old girlfriend, and her first date ever. How is she supposed to take care of Sam <i>and</i> make a romantic gourmet meal? Anastasia has new-found respect for her mom and the important job she does.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>As always with the Anastasia stories, pacing and character are excellent, and humor varies from laugh-out-loud farce to wry insights into a loving family.
