Just Let Me Lie Down: Necessary Terms for the Half-Insane Working Mom by Kristin van Ogtrop

4.0

I've always loved Kristin van Ogtrop's editorial in Real Simple magazine, and have wanted to read this book for a while. I'm glad I waited until I was a working mother to read it, because that's the intended audience. She puts the book in a creative format (reads like a glossary) and has a funny, honest writing style. She explores the tensions of moms who work: the good, bad, and ugly that go along with dividing your precious hours between kids and career. Sad sometimes without meaning to be.
