I am trying to remember the name of a book I read last year. It was like the movie "Motherhood" in many ways. The main character had two kids and she couldn't seem to do anything right. One scene I remember clearly; She had a pair of underwear fall out of her pants leg at a school meeting. She couldn't even manage to have an affair without pocket phoning her husband. He hears everything, and sends a mutual friend to rescue her from herself.

"A smart, laugh-out-loud debut novel about a deeply flawed but endearing stay-at-home mom, a book for anyone who took Bridget Jones to heart a decade ago-and now has kids. Lucy Sweeney has three sons, a husband on a short fuse, and a tendency toward domestic disaster. It has been years since the dirty laundry pile was less than three feet high, months since she remembered to have sex, and weeks since her toddler started using the trash can as a toilet. Lucy is living in a constant state of emergency, caught between perfectionist Yummy Mummy No. 1 and competitive Alpha Mum, making it hard for her to remember exactly why she exchanged her career and sanity for less than blissful domesticity. When she begins a flirtation with Sexy Domesticated Dad, a father from the school car-pool lane, the string of white lies to cover up the trail of chaos and illicit desire starts to unravel and disaster looms. Slummy Mummy: The Secret Life of Lucy Sweeneyis a hilarious novel about the dilemmas of modern marriage and motherhood for those who never discovered their inner domestic goddess."
PM and link sent. OP is a little bit active... :)
OP sent me a message, Slummy Mummy is the book. Shelving and moving.

Lucy..." I read the summary again and I think you are right. I think it was "slummy Mummy?" Sorry about sending conflicting replies. :)
