I bought this today at the Warren Newport Library (Gurnee, IL) used book sale room for a quarter. This book was recommended to me by my AV teacher.

c. 1979 -- 194 pages -- Paperback

Front Cover: The laughter tears and crises of 10 curtain-climbing kids -- by the mother who made it all possible. As heart-tickling as Erma Bombeck!

Back Cover: "After 10 pregnancies in 12 years, I had to call in the FBI to find my waistline ..." From broken limbs to broken hearts to broken windows -- the hilarious trials and heartwarming joys of big-family life by a mother who can still laugh about toddlers sharing ice cream with the dog ... first graders who curl their hair with bubble gum ... 16-year-olds with goggles for eyes and headphones for ears ... the summer the chauffeur (guess who) went on strike and the teenagers had to take walking lessons ... and all those priceless moments no mom will ever forget -- no matter how hard she tries!
"Mommy, sto the car!"
"Why? Is someone throwing something?"
"Yes. Tim."
"What's he throwing?"
"Up!"

Going through my bookshelves to lower Mt. TBR. I don't think I'll ever get to read this book, although it looks good. I'm sending it to Cransell in DC through BookMooch.
