From Positive Test to Empty Nest Charity L Maness

When attempting to navigate the treacherous minefields of motherhood, I found that one must wear gloves impervious to toxic waste and clothing that can withstand repeated bodily fluid saturation. One must also possess the strength of an army, intelligence of a spy, and patience of a saint to raise a child "From Positive Test to Empty Nest." My memoir, "From Positive Test to Empty Nest", a humorous journey through motherhood, became a reality when my oldest son had the audacity to actually grow up and leave the comfort of my nicely feathered nest. Written tongue in cheek for the mom in all of us and those that are crazy enough to want to or have already experienced motherhood. After years of solid research on the subject of motherhood, I have found that I am not alone in the world of surprise positive tests, spit up, multiple bruises, flying bunnies, speed dial 911, prepubescent hormonal imbalances and the inevitable empty nest.
