Five on Friday: It's Been Awhile . . . Current Potential Memoir Titles

Let them shenan once, they'll shenanigan. 
Thanks, Carl's Corner in Bethlehem, PA.

Remember when I used to post a new essay every single week? Then I cut it down to a Five on Friday list every week, every two weeks, every month . . . now when I find the time and inspiration it's just kind of a fun surprise for all of us!

I have, in the past, shared titles for memoirs I'll never write that reflect what's going on in my life. The earliest one, from 2014, absolutely brings me back to what it was like having kids aged 4, 7, 9, 13 and 14 at home. The next one, from a year later, illustrates a real transition as all the kids were (finally) in full-day school. There might be another one somewhere but the next I found was from 2022 and reflects a time of only having tweens & teens to parent, no more little ones. 

And now we enter a new stage of only really parenting older kids, having fewer kids at home and the joys of perimenopause. I present to you my current potential memoir titles:

1. Why is There Always So Much Cereal on the Ground?
Questions I Didn’t Think I’d Have to Ask at This Stage of Parenting

2.  They Told Me There'd Be Hot Flashes: I’ll Tell You About the 897, 462, 102 Other Perimenopause Symptoms A Book for Our Daughters

3. Either Teach Me What Your Constantly Changing Slang Means or Stop Making Fun of Me For Not Knowing (Also can we recreate this reel I saw where the Mom asks the kid to define words/phrases from the 80s?) 

4. Dual Hormone Surges: The Cruel Irony of of a Teen Girl and Middle Aged Woman Living Together

5. I Know You Think I’m a Pain in the Ass: The Feeling is Mutual An Open “Tough-Love-Letter” to My Teens
