Publisher's Description

Ten Items or Less is a look into the chaotic life I lead while staying at home raising three kids, one having Downs Syndrome. It also serves as a road map of what not to do for any guys out there thinking this is a good idea. I had no credentials for this, it was learn-as-you-go. More sinking than swimming. My stories will take you from the birth of three through the marriage of two. Included are some of my real-life events. I didn't fabricate anything, nor did I embellish the facts. It's as real as it gets. Please don't judge me, just laugh with me.

“Having had a busy schedule the week Jim sent me an early draft of this book, I sat down late one evening to get a start on reading it. Before I realized, it was well into the night, I was the only one still awake, and I had finished the draft. I caught myself sitting alone in the lamp light, just laughing. Full disclosure, I grew up with Jim. We are not only first cousins, but close friends. He is one of the easiest kind of friends I have as well as infinitely unique, creative, and funny. I knew these stories would be entertaining at the very least. I highly respect how Jim and Diane have raised their family. I love their kids and will say that each of them has grown into the kinds of people that would make any parent proud. These are a few of the stories that occurred along the journey. Enjoy!”
