Introduction to her first book:
Nobody Told Me it Would Be Like This

I wrote this book because there are days where, as moms, the only thing that can save us as we teeter on the edge of insanity is to know that there are others out there feeling the same way.
    The days where reminiscent tears are welling in your eyes triggered by a beautiful baby in a commercial that looked just like yours used to. Your smallest brings you a bouquet of the most beautiful dandelions you have ever seen, presenting them with an ear to ear mud covered grin of love. The principal just called alerting you that your oldest son was ringleader in a rather nasty “incident.” He wants to know what you as a responsible parent are going to do about it. You are eating chocolate because you seem to keep finding the five pounds that everybody else keeps losing. The words mom, why and no, have penetrated your brain at least 7 trillion times today. When is your birthday? You have to think about it.
    Somebody is screaming. There are socks in the living room, snot on the wall and no toilet paper anywhere in the house. You swear every time you put your coffee down, somebody moves it. This is nothing like the plan you had in your mind.
    Nothing seems so bad if we all laugh about it together.
    Move some laundry off the couch; curl up around a warm cup of something and take ten minutes to laugh with me, {at me?}. I promise, the housework will still be there waiting for you. You can do it later, because that’s what later is for.
   I hope you enjoy.
