Dear Anna Lefler,
I am in love with Preschooled.
Without gushing, I can only say that you made me fall in love with Justine. Everything she felt about this world of alpha moms in the preschool world was me, and did I relate? In a way that made me miss having a friend like her when I was going through this shock of the new world I was thrown into when I quit working and started taking my kids to school.
The thing I want most to say to you is THANK YOU for taking this world of momming it seriously. Many think it's just a side note, that we can continue with our lives and kids are over there in the corner of it, but the people we meet and this new world of parenting can swallow you up and leave the most capable of us in full blown doubt of ourselves.
You gave me validation, Ms. Lefler, for all the overwhelming and drowning I felt and still feel.
I knew your words would be funny, it is, after all, written by you. But to find solace in your book, where I felt understood and where I fit in, well, I did not see that coming.
Your book is wonderful.
Wonderful.
Your book is wonderful, Anna.
Sincerely,
Alexandra Rosas

ReplyDeletei think i need this. every day, i am glad to get on the train and go to work so i don't have to interact with the over-achieving stay-at-home pta moms.
ReplyDeleteAnna has been making me pee in my pants from laughter for nearly a decade (really need to take more bathroom breaks when I'm at the computer). I'm sure this book is a hoot. Can't wait to read.

ReplyDeleteAlexandra, I'm so deeply touched that the book moved you on so many levels. Thanks for believing in it (and me) and for "getting" it.
