Don't Put Headphones on the Cat: And Other Life Lessons

Marriage, parenting, having a career….Being Supermom was supposed to be so easy. And it was--right up until the children came along. Life is full of unexpected pain and pleasure, and there is a lesson in every experience. Rose Godfrey chronicled her family's homeschooling adventures in her first book, The Pig in the Pantry and Other Homeschool Tales. In this follow-up collection of essays, Rose reflects on life, parenting, and trusting God through difficult times. She ponders the tough questions: Does doing the laundry really make the washer get dirty? What if her children grow up before she does? And, of course, should the cat be allowed to wear headphones? "Motherhood is divas and dancing girls, sword fights and silly songs, headphones on the cat, lizards in the laundry, broken hearts, and broken limbs. It is praying in the emergency room, crying in the night, kissing owies, cleaning boogers off the wall, and holding a puking child without letting go."
