In her debut book Shawna Kenney takes us through her life to get where she wants to be.
Shawna graduated early from high school and moved out of her small town to D.C. to become something big. After a co-worker told her she could go to college she soon realized there were bills to pay and that plastic money didn't cut it.
She did everything from wait tables, book music at a club, write papers for "smart kids", to becoming a dominatrix.
Shawna learns a lot during the time of her dominate career. Doing something she doesn't love, but doesn't hate either she saves money and pays off her debts, meets great friends, learns her limits, and then moves away to be what she wants to be.
This is a book about courage, and determination with a bunch of humor wrapped with it.

Guilt free motherhood
I LOVED Trisha Ashworth and Amy Nobile's book I was a Really Good Mom Before I Had Kids.
It's a wonderful book about "Reinventing modern motherhood". These ladies interviewed thousands of women (and some men) across the nation to find out what was going on with mothers today.
It seems that we are stretched out to our max (no duh) and it's all our fault (really?). These ladies shed light on somethings that women thought only they were going through. They help you analyze your stress and to do list and then evaluate it to slow things down so you can relax and be the mom you want to be.
This is one of the FUNNIEST self help books I have read. It's good advise packed with hilarious true life "dirty little secrets".

Six-Year-Old Skanks
I haven't been reading much and I haven't posted even longer. I have so many books thanks to Paperbackswap that I should be able to read a different book every week. However I've been trying to wonder outside of my normal reading genres. Sometimes I'm really please and other times I'm disappointed.
Stop Dressing Your Six-Your-Old like a Skank and Other Words of Delicate Southern Wisdom was one of those.
I thought this would be laugh out loud funny; something I could read through very quickly. Parts of it were LOL but they were few and far between. Although it does have all too true reasons why kids and parents are so screwed up now days, it was dry in more parts than not.
