Reading…

It seems I have read about a book every other day the past couple of weeks. Apparently this is the distraction tactic I use instead of packing. It has been great reading so much but as we have two days left to pack, I realize that I should have been packing a bit more.

Luckily, most of my reading is done while E is napping, when I couldn’t really be packing anyway as it makes so much darn noise (he seems to wake up way too easily during the day).

But for now, it’s some serious packing…

I have a huge dilema.  I love to read.  I would say I read at least one book a week, usually two.  It’s my one go to hobby.

But I love to make things too.  I have a long list of things I need to make…curtains, Christmas gifts, cards, I could go on and on.

So, when can I find time to do all of the above?  I know that it is probably not a possibility.  But I don’t want to accept that.  I want to read and be crafty (and be able to raise my son and take care of the house) all in the short hours I am awake for (well…now I’m awake a good two hours more each night because of our wonderfully loud neighbors…can I just say their son who is 2 or 3 is up until MIDNIGHT EACH NIGHT..moving on…).

I blame it on the library.  I request books and have to read them in a certain amount of time.  I have no choice but to read.  But the ‘blood spattered’ curtains (that is only what we call them, not what is actually on them) need to go.  Maybe this weekend I will start my great crafty beginning…

So, A and my favorite show to watch together is Scrubs. We LOVE the show so much we own each season on DVD and somehow even though we’ve seen the episodes before, still look forward to watching them again and laugh at each joke like it’s the first time we’ve heard it. However, this is the last season! FRICK! This is the only show we ever watch, schedule the time during the week to watch. We don’t have cable and use rabbit ears to get the major networks. We have no idea what we are going to do once all television is in HD…yikes. I guess after this season it won’t matter (to me at least, A will still want TV for the sports).

But back to Scrubs-it has been on hiatus because of the writer’s strike I expect, but I miss it so. I find myself getting excited for Thursday evenings to be able to lay on the couch with A and watch Scrubs and laugh ourselves silly.

But for now, we are banished to the bedroom to read the night away…
