Book - Just Let Me Lie Down: Necessary Terms for the Half-Insane Working Mom

by Kristin van Ogtrop. Paperback with Readers Guide, 260 pages, published 2011. This copy is signed by the author to a previous owner. Very good used condition. I found one dog ear. There's also a small rip on the front cover at the spine (see pics) but this does not affect the integrity of the book. Binding is tight and all pages are intact. "Frank and funny, this is humor with a generous, wisecracking charm. Using stories and insights from her own life, van Ogtrop illustrates the highs (kids who know where their soccer cleats are, coworkers who don't hit "Reply All," dogs who helpfully eat whatever falls from the table) and the lows (getting out of the house in the morning, getting along with everyone at the office, getting willful kids into bed) of balancing work and family. Filled with amusing and resonant observations, Just Let Me Lie Down establishes van Ogtrop as the Erma Bombeck of the new millennium. A lexicon for working moms everywhere. Van Ogtrop is the former editor-in-chief of Real Simple, and a literary agent at InkWell Management."
