I’M IN THIS BOOK!
I STILL Just Want to Pee Alone is a collection of hilarious and heartwarming essays from 40 more kick ass mom bloggers. Jen Mann, Kansas-based mom and founder of the popular blog People I Want to Punch in the Throat, has again gathered talented women to share exactly why motherhood is the toughest and funniest job on the planet. This edition includes such essays as “It’s Not Pee, It’s You,” “Open Letter to My Daughter: My Mother was Right and You Should Think I Am Too,” “And Then God Laughed,” “Flames, Knives and Fear: A Family Dinner” and “Let’s Piss Off the Babies.”
The previous two have sold over 40,000 copies to date. I Just Want to Pee Alone hit the NYT list in February and are both continually ranked in the top 20 of their category on Amazon, and WITH YOUR HELP, this one can get there too!
My story is on page 112 and is titled, “The Day I Got Taken To Church.” Here’s an excerpt:
“When I started having kids, I told myself I wouldn’t make the same mistakes my mom made. I would be myself—I would let them know from the get-go that mama ain’t no saint. But that, ahhh, um, didn’t really go as planned, you see, because you do have to give your kids models of socially appropriate behavior. You can’t tell a coffee table to go fuck itself when you stub your toe on it. I mean, you CAN, but just not in front of them. It’s just not normal .”

I am going to stalk your blog. I love how you have begun beating the circus theme about the head and tent poles.

Ashley,
I read your post today about growing up in your religion. I would like to mail something to you. Would you feel comfortable sending me a mailing address?
Don’t worry, I’m not going to hound you, but I thought you might appreciate receiving some answers to some of the questions your son raised.
Thank you
