Mothers' hilarious, outrageous, heartfelt admissions "Sometimes I lock myself in the bathroom." "I put an educational DVD on so I could have sex. It wasn't with my husband." Romi Lassally provides a judgment-free zone where women can reveal their mommy misdemeanors. From not feeling like cleaning up vomit in the middle of the night, to barking something completely inappropriate to the children, to wanting to be pawed by hands that aren't covered in jelly, the confessions pour in daily. Heartfelt and hilarious, naughty and nasty, frank and outrageous, the confessions culled together for this book represent the best-or the worst?-of those humbling hidden secrets of motherhood in all its glorious messiness as improvisation and triage. They dare to suggest that it's okay for moms to make mistakes, to have unkind thoughts, to publicly or privately embarrass themselves-and above all to be human.

Read and Reflect actively develops academic reading strategies through the exploration of U.S. culture.

Being a mom, wife, or woman ain't easy....especially in the Frat House. I'm a mother of two boys just trying to survive the dirt, fart jokes, and testosterone, not to mention the body image issues, social awkwardness, and marital rollercoaster that comes with the territory of wife and woman. What I really want to say is I'm really just an average woman-JUST LIKE YOU! I'm sharing my story, my creative spin on everything from disciplining your kids to sex (no, I'm not talking about positions), just so you can see that you are not alone. I want to help you get through the day. This book is just a way for you to see that although it's average, it doesn't have to be boring. Put a creative spin on the average and just make it weird. So, if you're feelin' it, come get weird with me.

This is an original investigation of how movies have reflected and helped to shape the values of a generation. From All the President's Men to Wall Street, US films of the 1970s and 80s were a kaleidoscope of shifting values and contrasting moral viewpoints. Knowing that movies mirror the way we think we are – or would like to be – O'Brien focuses on the key values (or their absence) found in films from this period in order to see more clearly what Americans really cherished in life, and how these values have evolved or changed. Comprehensive and thought provoking, this book addresses how and why movies glamorized and portrayed certain professions; the changing role of women; the targeting of religion for satire; the addressing of environmental issues and film's representation of and engagement with history.
