SummaryMaternal Meanderings is a zany, hilarious collection of the
real-life
experiences of babyboomer mother, comedienne, columnist and
schoolteacher,
Diane Dean-Epps who acknowledges to being influenced and
inspired by the wit
and humor of the immortal Erma Bombeck. The book is titled
by the same name
as the author's popular, currently running column, Maternal
Meanderings. Author, Dean-Epps, pokes fun at the real-life happenings
that make-up the
experiences of married couples and parents everywhere in
what she considers
the four major areas of our parenting life
cycle...In-Volvement (Marriage),
In-Utero (Maternity), In-Sanity (Motherhood) and In-House
(Management).
These sections are organized into easy-to-read segments that
allow the time
poor, poorly timed parent, to pick up, put down, pick up and
put down the
book almost as often as they do their own children. The idea for Maternal Meanderings was born simultaneously
with the writer's
second child. (Or as Dean-Epps says, "Okay, AFTER the
epidural wore off and
AFTER I had washed approximately 1,233 baby items and AFTER
I could get my
shirt on over my post-partum Pamela Lee Anderson
pre-reduction breasts.) Maternal Meanderings has comedy for everyone, whether
you're having a
mid-life crisis, a hormonal crisis or parenting crisis. The
book applies to
testosterone and estrogen producers alike. and it will make
you laugh, ease
your tensions and remind you that the nutty world of
parenting is a world of
shared experiences. Maternal Meanderings
The book that asks the question:
As A Mom I Have The Most Physical Job In The World...
So Why Don't I Look Better?!
