Operating Instructions by Anne Lamott

Am I the very last person in our group to read this book? Seriously? I couldn't wait to pick it up this summer when we had escaped the craziness of school and things finally slowed own.

So much of my kids' first years of life have escaped me in the wake of twin infant craziness and the 9 years that have passed but Lamott does a wonderful job of chronicling her son Sam's childbirth and those first few weeks and months of his life. While their family isn't conventional ('dad' wanted nothing to do with his child) her sleepless nights and small joys of motherhood translate to every mom's experience.

Loved it and thanks Sandy for encouraging me to read this one...
