Ok you might have guessed by now I'm a author....don't be fooled. I'm no neatly tweaked homeschooler on a hammock sipping chilled lemonade as the kids methodically do their studies....
I'm more likely to be on my knees in the kitchen chasing our snail, Virgil 2, (this sucker moves fast). Or you'll find me stuffing more in the freezer than is humanely possible. Or.....Ok I'll tell you.
I had a book signing out of town the other day. So I got changed from my mom gear (you know...paint/baby juice splattered, flour flecked, baggy jeans) into my one and only outfit of 'author gear'. Appearing out of the bedroom like superwoman I hurtled round the house before leaving dishing out instructions to everyone....and superJane was off!
It wasn't until I was on the fast lane of the motorway that I realised in my flurry of reminding my dh not to forget to brush kids teeth/load dishwasher/take snail for a walk (joke) that I realised that I had my shirt on inside out with a huge great label sticking out the back. So I pulled in to the side of the road and had to crouch under the steering wheel so I didn't give unsuspecting drivers a flash of my 36 DDD's as I changed (OK so I'm not 36 DDD). So arrived looking flushed, hair messy, and shirt tucked in kinda twisted... and you can only guess what went through their minds.
Byeeeeeeeeee
Jane

• Oct. 22, 2005 - Well, Bless Ya!
Thanks a ton for visiting my blog the other day and taking the time to leave a much-needed comment. At the time I was knee-deep in I'm-not-doing-any-good-at-anything self talk. Been there? Well, your comment is just what I needed, and at the right time. It's those comments from readers that keeps me writing.
So....I thought you were just some really sweet mom who took the time to write me a little note....then, I realized that your incredibly clever blog name was actually the name of a book....I thought you were stealing the name until it clicked that you WROTE the book...so I realized you were a published author, two years younger than me, but two steps ahead of where I want to be....and then it finally clicked that YOU are THE Jane of the Juggling with Hamsters contest...
Girl, you are more intimidating by the minute!
....And then you go and tell your story about the inside-out shirt, and I am feeling side-by-side with you again. Bless you for being real!
