It’s Sunday.
It’s Sunday, and Numbers 3, 4, and 5 are at my parents’ house
It’s Sunday, and Numbers 3, 4, and 5 are at my parents’ house, and my husband took Numbers 2, 6, and 7 out.
For the whole day.
I am alone in my house.
For the whole day.
For the first time in…
EVER.
I am giddy with the aloneness.
So, I am going to make a fire,
keep my pajamas on,
keep my bra off,
and finish putting together
my. first. book.
Yes. I said finish.
It’s not really a novel, or a new book,
but an Erma Bombeckesque collection of my greatest works.
There is one thing I could use your help with.
The title.
I’ve got five possibilities floating around in my head.
Here they are:
- Mom, what’s an orgy?
- Why are those so BIG?
- Thank God It’s Monday
- No, I’m not a Mormon
- The Boobs are Always Greener on the Other Side
I’d love your feedback. If you want, leave the one that would catch your eye or spark your interest the most in the comments either here or on the Facebook page.
While you think about that, I’ll be creatively reveling in the solitude, comfort, and warmth of my child-free home.
It’s a great day!

I would go with “Thank God it’s Monday” I think it would get people to read the back cover to learn about what the book is about. I feel that some of the other options might “offend” some people, making them just move along to another book. And yes, I realize that some people that are offended wouldn’t like your book…BUT a lot of people would…if they begin reading it.

“Yes, we did plan to have a family (add a cute line here)”
“Why yes, this is my world. “

It’s gotta be something based off your observations when people ask you if all the kids are yours. Maybe something like, “Did you birth that chihuahua?” Then kick the whole book off with that blog post because it’s brilliant and gives great context for whatever other stories you tell — there will be no doubt in your reader’s minds that you love your kids, even if you make fun of them or feel overwhelmed by them.

Rather than greener, maybe The Boobs are Always Perkier on the Other Side?
Kim says
Not your average Monday?
Monica BOOTHE says
I like Thank God it’s Monday.
I think ” Mormon” and “orgy” might offend.
Jessica Jackson says
I like “Mom, what’s an orgy?” but I also “Not your average mom” 🙂 Enjoy you’re peace and quiet!

I like “Thank God it’s Monday”. I love Erma Bombeck, I didn’t think a lot of 30 something’s know who she was.
Aunt Barb says
“Move over, Erma (Bombeck) – I’m on the Way”. Lets people know what kind of book it is.
Rachel says
Thank God It’s Monday!

I like “Thank God it’s Monday.” Another mom at my daughter’s daycare was walking out at the same time I was. Both of our kids were cranky and fussy going in. So on the way out, we both smiled at each other and I said, “Now we can go to work and relax.” She responded with a big grin…yeah I know. “The weekends are exhausting.”

I like Jana’s title: Boobs are Always Perkier on the Other Side
Kristin says
The Boobs are Always Greener on the other side.
Lynda says
Thank God it’s Monday. That to me is Erma Bombesque

“Mom, What’s an Orgy?”
Is the obvious choice. The only people that title might offend wouldn’t get your humour anyway, and would just give your book a bad review on Amazon. Best to have them continue browsing for other “G-rated” books, so we’ll never have to hear what “they” think.
I’m a bush pilot, and mother of one in Manitoba, Canada…yeah -40 degrees, so I get your attitude towards winter, and I would absolutely buy your book, as would all of my co-workers wives.
