Summary: Going-Out-Of-My-Mind Cake
Review: These short stories are mostly hilarious, although some are tear-jerkers. It will make you appreciate your family a lot more, as you will probably see your own kin in some of these situations. It's the perfect sized book to pull out of your purse or briefcase when you have a few minutes in line, waiting at the doctor's office, or whenever you need a quick escape into someone else's reality.

My five year old niece loved the story "Twos and Teens." I read it to her while waiting for our food at a restaurant. She demanded to hear it again and again until our food arrived!

Review: This book is a wonderful collection of short stories (in the genre of Erma Bombeck) from a busy mother's journal. Lots of laughs, and a few tears as well, as the author confronts the realities of life. It reminded me a lot of when I was growing up.
