This week, on the Real Housewives of Hockessin, Delaware ... or Chadds Ford, or Newark, or Wilmington ... tune in for: A 3 y.o. well check, a phone call that had to be taken in the laundry room so the kids didn't see me talking on the phone, a stain-removal test involving Zout and Oxi Clean, and a fun game of find the car keys because we're late for camp and where are your crocs and no I didn't know we had to bring snack.

Tune in next week, when this real housewife of New Castle County considers Zoloft and interviews an au pair.

Stay cool.
