"It's a Jungle Out There and a Zoo in Here"
by Cheryl Demas
Found your Reno? Experienced your ice-cream man
relativity syndrome? What's your sausage?
Cheryl Demas makes even life working at home make
sense in her latest book, "It's a Jungle Out There and
a Zoo in Here" by Warner Books, available from
Amazon.com. Epitomized as "Dave Barry on estrogen",
Cheryl is the most likely heir to the great Erma
Bombeck as the work-at-home mom who has it all (or
enough for her tastes!) without missing it all.
"Jungle" (sorry...my fingers are getting sore typing
that title) is a perfectly practical how-to guide
hidden within several warm, casual and very revealing
conversations with a good friend. Ms. Demas has a
magical talent for enfolding an important point inside
an ordinary story of everyday life. Afterward, you
smile, chuckle and say "Oh yeah..."
Ready for a welcome laugh?
Enjoy your coffee (or other appropriate beverage of
choice) while sitting and laughing with Cheryl as she
tells of her metamorphosis from confident career
professional to whirlwind work-at-home mom. (Note:
This stuff works for work-at-home dads, too - Signed,
A Reliable Source) Well, maybe more strong breeze than
whirlwind. This is not Supermom Stays Home. Working at
home while raising a family can be a tough decision
requiring a lot of thought, and Cheryl presents the
battle it can really be with focused insight and an
extra helping of grace (with no added calories).
"Jungle" displays all the funny, chaotic, challenging,
stressful, touching and ultimately rewarding facets of
working at home and how she's made it work as more
than just business, but an integral part of her whole
life.
Because if you work at home (or just think about it
right now), you deserve a laugh.
Oh, Cheryl...I do dishes, too. ;)
