Peep Show-TMI Mom Preview!!

Yesterday I was tagged on Facebook by my fabulous publisher, Malena Lott, of Buzz Books. The challenge I was tagged in was this: Go to page 77 of your own book or manuscript, count down seven lines and then list the seven lines that follow. Well, TMI Mom: Oversharing My Life has not been released yet, but I still have my grubby, little hands on a copy of my manuscript. Woot! So today, I'm giving to you, my loyal readers, a sneak peak of the funny that's about to invade bookstores everywhere in April.

From page 77, seven lines down:

Hurriedly, I raced to the other bathrooms and discovered that they, too, were out of extra toilet paper and their on-roll supply was at about half.

My first feeling was of failure: How in the world could I let my house exist in this kind of disorganization? This kind of disarray? This kind of disparity? I was expected to leave the house in ten minutes. There was no way I could run to Hellmart and restock before having to leave their tiny hineys to such limited resources.

My second feeling was of quasi-relief: Brian is a resourceful man. He could go buy the toilet paper himself, right? RIGHT?  (I’m looking for confirmation here, people!)

My third feeling was of hilarity: Brian would never notice the lack of toilet paper anywhere in the house until he sat down to take his six o’clock poop. Yes, he really is that much of a regular guy.

 Yeah, yeah, yeah ... it's more than seven lines, but I just can't wait to share the whole darned book with you!
