Best Bathtub Books

Here's a list (and occasional commentary) on books that will make that well-earned soak in the tub even more relaxing and like a mini-getaway (at least, until you hear your little one calling you over the baby monitor).

  1. Belly Laughs, by Jenny McCarthy - Fabulous read for pregnant mommies, irregardless of whether this is your first or fifth baby. Funny and engaging, this book is definitely entertaining, and gives a sneak-peak into what it's like to be pregnant and a celebrity.
  2. Water for Elephants, by Sara Gruen - A wonderful fiction novel about an elderly man who, as he nears the end of his life, remembers back to his days working for a circus. He is a trained veterinarian who leaves school before taking his final exams, choosing instead to join the circus. He becomes their animal doc and the story chronicles his adventures under the big top.

A mother's work is never done
Mommies - check out this Yahoo video (This link works - I had posted the YouTube link earlier this morning, but it had been pulled). This mom, a stand-up comic, has described a mom's daily routine and set it to the William Tell Overture. I swear, there are days when I feel like this is the pace of my life. I wouldn't change it for the world, but there are times when I wish I could just have one day when I didn't have to think about what to feed my son for breakfast, whether his jelly sandwich had too much jelly, the nutritional value of Goldfish crackers, what to make him for dinner, how long it will take me to get through the three piles of laundry sitting on my bedroom floor, vaccinations, runny noses etc. But I think a part of me enjoys having those responsibilities - just part of mom duty, a title I've been looking forward to and cherish.
Anyway, check this out when you have an extra five minutes and/or need a good laugh:

That was really funny. I enjoyed it. It's refreshing to hear some clean stand-up from a woman after all the crud my husband likes.

(Side note: Why can't we add you as a friend?)
