tears of laughter

Last night I read way too far into the early morning, but it was TOTALLY worth the lost sleep.  Not only did I need to read something other than Goodnight Moon, I needed a good laugh.

Now, I hardly ever laugh so hard I have tears rolling down my face.  And even more rarely do I shed tears of laughter while reading a book.  All of that changed yesterday.  

While browsing free kindle books on Amazon a couple weeks ago, I happened upon the best free book ever:  "Ketchup is a Vegetable: and other Lies Moms Tell Themselves" by Robin O'Bryant.  

It's a masterpiece.  

Anyone who is a parent, or pondering whether or not parenthood is for them, this book is for you.

It's a breath of fresh air, a good dose of hilarity and honesty, and most of all: only 266 pages.  Her arrangement of chapters are fantastically perfect for a busy mom.  Since I don't want to spoil all the good stories, I'm going to leave my description as it is.   (Plus I'm always scared of the plagiarism police, being thrown in jail, and leaving Josh to care for Bee all on his own.  Which might mean our daughter would NEVER wear pink, read Little House on the Prairie, have ballet lessons or wear hair bows!)

Sadly for you all, the book is no longer free, but it's only 5.99 if you buy the kindle version.  And I think you should, if not because you like reading good books, then to support a Mama who works from home and has three deliciously mischievous little girls, all born within four years! 



Go now....and purchase.
