I just finished Sh*tty Mom: The Parenting Guide for the Rest of Us , and it is hilarious. It is a quick read, and if don't take yourself too seriously, I think you'll enjoy it!
The next book I want to read is Waiting for Birdy: A Year of Frantic Tedium, Neurotic Angst, and the Wild Magic of Growing a Family by Catherine Newman. I believe I read about it on A Cup of Jo , and after reading the preview pages on Amazon.com, I know I will enjoy it. I especially like the author's attempt to describe the overwhelming emotion a mother has for her child as found below.
"Until it happened to us, I didn't understand that having a baby would feel like falling in love, but like falling in love on a bad acid trip. With an alarm clock a pooping alarm clock. I wasn't prepared to lie awake by the sleeping babe, my heart pounding audibly and so swollen with passion that I could barely breathe. ... Nobody mentioned the way my heart would be brought to its knees, a thousand times a day, by my love for the baby."
