Parenthood: Has Anyone Seen My Sanity?

Rachel Toalson

Sinossi

From the humorist behind the popular Crash Test Parents blog comes this collection of cleanly hilarious, irreverently honest, and undeniably charming essays that humanize the challenges, frustrations and rare victories of every parent—unless you're a perfect one, in which case this book is not for you.
Rachel shapes stories around the everyday happenings of parents—trying to leave the house with kids, eating at the same table as kids, wrestling plungers (and other undesirable "toys") from the hands of kids. She opens a window into the trenches of parenthood, where she says you'll feel like Cinderella without the fancy ballgown, dream of sleeping like Rip Van Winkle, and aspire to master that Pinterest perfect party—which won't happen, by the way, because kids live to thwart their parents at every turn. Also, you'll be so glad you're here.
The essays collected in Parenthood: Has Anyone Seen My Sanity? are not only deeply introspective and encouraging but also wildly hilarious and entertaining. Rachel pulls her readers along for the ride of a lifetime (parenthood excepted, of course) and shows parents how they, too, can laugh at themselves, their situations and the antics of their children—laugh their way right into hope.
Parenthood: Has Anyone Seen My Sanity? includes essays like:
Things You Don't Consider Before Becoming a Parent
Sleep While the Baby Sleeps and Other Unhelpful Advice
No, I'm Not Still Pregnant. This is Just My After-Belly.
Do I Ever Feel Like Giving Up? Every Other Minute.
That Frightening Time When Your Kid is Learning Autonomy
What Happens When a Kid Environmentalist is on Trash Duty
How to Talk Like a 3-Year-Old
Why Traveling With Kids is Maybe the Worst Idea Ever
Ain't Nobody Got Time for a Pinterest Perfect Party
Parenting is Like Living In an Insane Asylum
and many more.
Called the Erma Bombeck of a new generation of parents, Rachel's first full-length humor book in the Crash Test Parents series is sure to set parents laughing in recognition and relief that they are not the slightest bit alone.
Rachel is the mother of six young boys who daily give her inspiration for comical essays. Her essays can often be seen on Huff Post Parents, Scary Mommy and Babble. She lives with all her males in San Antonio, Texas, where she faithfully writes 5,000 words a day, five days a week.

The Princess Royal Pacifics

Tim Hillier-Graves

When Stanier joined the LMS in 1932, as their CME, he was expected to breathe new life into this ailing giant. Since its formation it had steadily lost ground to its main rival, the LNER. In Doncaster, Nigel Gresley and his team, with an eye to advancing locomotive design at the same time as making the company commercially successful, had quickly begun producing a series of high performance and iconic Pacific engines to pull their high profile express trains. Their impact left the LMS trailing in their wake.Under previous CMEs, the LMS had concentrated on 4-6-0 designs to pull their express services, but many felt they lacked sufficient power and had little to offer in performance or glamour when compared to their rivals.Stanier, heavily influenced by his mentor, George Churchward, his work on the GWR and the potential of the Pacific design, saw such a class as essential to the success of the LMS. And so the Princess Royal Class came into being, against a background of some opposition and cultural differences. Despite this, they proved their worth and became popular with their crew and managers. Within a few short years, however, their premier position in the company had been taken by a very worthy successor, the Princess Coronation Class.Overshadowed and often overlooked, they tend to be seen as a stepping stone to something better. Yet, in reality they stand up well to the closest scrutiny, and this book tells the story of these engines through the eyes of those who came into contact with them. They also best represent the impact William Stanier had on locomotive design and best describe the way he changed the culture of the LMS to allow it to grow successfully. It is a story of great endeavor and courage that can only be told by revealing and discussing political, social, economic and engineering issues.
