My first week's reading se fini. I read three books, two library, one Nook. There have been slower weeks, but not by a lot. The biggest difference this week was my boys' GATE fieldtrip; it set me back two days worth of reading. Now ask me if it was worth it. Go ahead. Ask. (Pause, while listening to question.) Heck yeah, it was worth it!! My boys had a blast, and it was so much fun hanging out with them. Plus, and this is a big one, we discovered PooPooPaper. That would be paper made out of recycled, odorless elephant dung. Hey, I have four boys, stuff like that is a big deal around here.
Back to reading. To date, this has been fun. There is a slight bit of reading pressure that wasn't there before, but I think it's added to my experience rather than taken from it. Maybe it will fade as time goes on, however at this moment, there are a few more cylinders firing while I read. I think it's knowing that I'm going to be sharing what I read that is causing me to look a little further into the story. I like it.
Something (After adding the last four sentences, I'm changing "Something" to "Some things", if you're reading this directly after "Something" you're reading out of order and should disregard until further notice.) to know about me. I am not looking to be more of the me that I can be. I am not trying to find myself, I know exactly where I am (on my bed, watching my husband play Halo Wars, while I flip between tending my city in Cityville and typing here). I like books that are meals and books that are junk food. On the way to school the kids and I discuss our Bible verse of the day and learn our new word of the day. My day is spent doing PTSA stuff, Scout stuff, cheerleading stuff or a combination of the three with some household chores/errands thrown in. The hubby and I hang out, watch some TV and just enjoy each other's company. See first ( ) in this paragraph now. I'm a pretty simple, sometimes slightly/more than slightly harried housewife, who passionately watches over her family and is sometimes (my husband would say most times) intensely involved in anything? everything? somethings.
Until next time, Hillshire Farm! Go meat!!
