Christina Applegate reveals daughter Sadie's school library is her 'happy place' where 'no-one talks to me'
She's busy promoting the second season of her Netflix dramedy Dead To Me.
And on Tuesday, Christina Applegate did an interview with Ellen DeGeneres on her Ellen At Home show.
During the chat, done by remote video, the actress, 48, revealed that while she's currently having to homeschool her daughter, she misses not being able to volunteer at the third-grader's school library.

Applegate explained that when her daughter Sadie started Kindergarten, she had to volunteer for a parent activity.
'I fell in love with the library and that's my happy place where I hang out,' she told the comedienne and daytime chat show host.
'I put books away for hours and no-one talks to me,' Applegate explained.
She said she's a big hit with students when it comes to story time.
'I read a book and they like it because I do a bunch of accents and they think that's funny,' she said.

Earlier on Tuesday, Applegate and her Dead To Me co-star Linda Cardellini made a joint appearance on Jess Cagle's SiriusXM show to promote their show which drops its second season on Netflix on Friday.
The actresses spoke about how draining it can be to film the show that careens between sharp humor and emotional dramatic moments.
Coming soon: Season 2 of Netflix dramedy Dead To Me drops on Friday. And Linda Cardellini and Christina Applegate spoke Tuesday about how filming it can be emotionally draining
'Some days it is hard,' Cardellini, 44, said during an interview with SiriusXM's Jess Cagle.
'There are emotional places that we go to over and over again that are draining.'
She went on: 'You're bouncing back and forth throughout the day.... it's pretty challenging and it's pretty fun and it gets pretty heavy.'
Intense: 'Some days it is hard,' Cardellini, 44, said during an interview with SiriusXM's Jess Cagle. 'There are emotional places that we go to over and over again that are draining'
Dark and funny: Cardellini, 44, explained: 'You're bouncing back and forth throughout the day.... it's pretty challenging and it's pretty fun and it gets pretty heavy'
Draining: Applegate, 48, spoke about how the intense scenes depend on the actresses digging deep inside themselves. 'It's something that's coming from your own stuff,' she explained
Relying on each other: She recalled one scene that was so intense that 'they would say cut and then she and I would hold each other on the floor and sobbing...'
Applegate, 48, spoke about how the intense scenes depend on the actresses digging deep inside themselves.
'It's something that's coming from your own stuff,' she explained.
She spoke about a scene she and Cardellini did set in a garage, recalling: 'It was so intense, and we would run around the corner and they would say cut and then she and I would hold each other on the floor and sobbing... and then they'd be like, 'let's do the line now...'
Season 2 of Dead To Me picks up immediately where the first season left off.
It starts with Jen (Applegate) and Judy (Cardellin) having to decide what to do with the body of Judy's former fiance Steve (James Marsden) which is floating in Jen's swimming pool after a shooting at the end of the season 1 finale.
And even as they try to cover up their crimes, Judy and Jen also manage to juggle parenting Jen's two sons and holding down their jobs as a real-estate agent and an assisted-living staffer.
But as season 2 unfolds, the trailer suggests, it becomes clear that someone in their suburban neighborhood knows more than they should about what's been going on and law enforcement is on their tails.
Publicizing their show: Cardellini and Applegate made a joint appearance on Jess Cagle's SiriusXM show on Monday as they promote the new season of Dead To Me
