A while back, I was contacted by the lovely writer Sabrina Rubin Erdely, who told me she loved my blog. I was totally flattered when she asked to interview me for an article she was writing on large families for LIFE magazine. I was unsure if three kids really qualifies as a large family, but Sabrina assured me that it totally does. Okay, well, she didn't say "totally does." But there it is.

The article is out today, people, and I haven't seen it yet. It's killing me just a little bit, because when I spoke to Sabrina on the phone, I said many, many stupid things. Really, truly, jaw-droppingly, duuuuuuuh kind of things. I can only hope that those less-than-stellar soundbites made it into the finished piece. We'll have to see.

And THEN! I got an email from the fabulous Gloria Mattioni, author of Reckless ( the book I gave to all my girlfriends for Christmas.) Apparently, she either mentioned or quoted Three Kid Circus in this month's Elle Italia. Which is great! Except I haven't seen that one either, and I'm dying a little bit here. Why, oh why do the little regional booksellers and large corporate chain booksellers not stock Elle Italia? Why? I've got vain needs here! I want to see my name in print!

(Oh, did I say that out loud? Ignore that. I'm not vain at all. Not me. No!)

Last of all - if you haven't been by Mommybloggers - we've got a screamingly funny essay by the talented Susie Sunshine, and this weekend, we'll be featuring another Mommybloggers Q&A - just in time for Mother's Day. You don't want to miss this multiple mama cage match.

This is the end of this self-promoting entry. Thank you.
