I’ve been back and forth writing and editing a post that I’m not sure I have the guts to publish, but in the meantime, I’ve not been totally silent.
If you’re not totally bored or grossed out by potty training stories, I’ve shared mine here at the Chicago Moms Blog.
If you live in NYC and want to hear the stories of some fabulously funny moms, then head out to the Comic Strip this Thursday to see Liz, Jen, and Tracy read their hilarious essays from Beth of RoleMommy’s new book, C://Mom Run: Sidesplitting Essays from the World’s Most Harried Blogging Moms.
I’m telling you this because OMG I’m actually going to be PUBLISHED in this book alongside these incredible writers and OMG maybe someone may be reading my essay to the audience on Thursday as well. I am bummed that I couldn’t be there in person, but I know it’ll be a great event if Beth has anything to do with it. Details are here.
Other than that, I’ve taken on a substantial load of writing (for me, at least) from Chicago Parent for the next few months, which alternatively excites and scares me, because I actually have commitments now and deadlines and stuff. But, I like to be busy, so I’ll take it.
And I’ll keep thinking about that post I’m working on. I hope I don’t chicken out.

You know, I think boundaries are sometimes undervalued in the blogosphere, so I say if the post doesn’t feel write, perhaps it’s best to keep it to yourself a while longer. Why aren’t you gathering your Chicago mama friends for a little reading on your own? I’d gladly channel Liz, Beth or Jen and read their essays (same for Tracy, I just don’t know her as well) at your shindig. Hmmm. Danielle would want to play the role of Liz. I’ll take one of the others. Too bad you can’t make it to the CMB brunch; you could autograph our books. (Though really, time with the hubs? Can’t beat that.)
Good luck with the CP articles. I think writing for them is a rite of passage for moms in our area.
Congrats on being published! That’s wonderful!!!!
