Summary

Television crime reporter and full-time mother tells it like it is in this raw, irreverent collection of essaysjust what mothers are asking for when they curl up with a book at night after a seventeen-hour day in the trenches. Amanda Lamb is a regular contributor to Dot-moms.com, lauded by theNew York TimesandTimemagazine. She writes about the reality of raising children, working, and keeping a family together as hard, challenging, and sometimes downright awful. But in the middle of the muck there are also wickedly funny moments that beg to be recorded and shared. These are those stories. "Parents will never get enough sleep until they're dead. Osama Bin Laden would come out of hiding if he could listen to your baby wail all night." Amanda Lamb lives in Cary, North Carolina.
