Mh> Martha Another EXCELLENT source of true-life parenting humor is Theresa Bloomingdale "I should have seen it coming when the rabbit died" Therese Bloomingdale (like Erma Bombeck) had many children.

My mother always read Erma Bombeck, so naturally I had to pick up the books that made her howl with laughter. Even as a girl/teenager, I enjoyed her writing, and I have continued to read her books and columns through adulthood. She puts motherhood, being a wife, and a homemaker in such an hilarious light. God bless her! — Carla, Mommy to Shawn (5) and Seth (4) I’m very brave generally, only today I happen to have a headache. ~~ Tweedledum
