Book Cover & Preview Text
I wished the snake in the toilet would be quiet so I could think, then I realized the whimpering noises were coming from me. I forced myself to take some calming breaths. "I am an adult. I am bigger than this snake. I am a very resourceful person. I can take care of this little domestic problem." After this appallingly ineffectual pep talk, I snapped on some thick rubber gloves, stepped into tall chore boots, armed myself with a plunger and an ice-cream bucket and flipped the toilet lid back open.

About the Book
One of Those Days gives a lighthearted look at life full of kids, chaos, and mayhem. Learn how to survive “Diaper Disasters,” a house full of snakes in “The Snake House,” and green-colored children in “Happiness is a Purple Crayon.” It seems most of author Jana Miller's days turn into “one of those days,” but she has learned to go with the flow with lots of love, laughter, and faith. Using life lessons gained from her experiences growing up with the best friends and worst enemies of her childhood—her four older brothers—she teaches her children all about life, while they, in turn, teach her what life is all about.
