A couple of you wondered how I find the time to read so many books with twins running about. I am a nerd. I love to read. Reading is by far my favorite past time (not including babies of course…but then again, they aren’t really a past time as say a HARD TIME)…anyway, I digress with my HUGE run on sentence.
So reading. I love it. I don’t remember much from my childhood, but one memory that stands out is Grade 3, Ms. Day’s class. She had reading day where we brought in our pillows and blankets and laid on the floor reading all day. If I ever see Ms. Day again I will tell her that she is too cool for school!!

My problem is I don’t retain things very well, and since I had the babies it is even worse. I can read a book and a year later re-read it again and it is almost like I never read it. Good for saving money on buying new books, bad because my brain is fried.

So back to how I find the time. Instead of cleaning, doing laundry, blowing out my hair I read. Ok, that’s not entirely true since all of those things get done, after I’m done reading of course. I read every single morning with my cup of coffee while the babies nap. I read at night after they go to bed, I read while they have alone playtime, and at night instead of reading How Now Brown Cow for the fifthteenhundrethtime I read them my books.

Luckily for me I married someone who loves books as much as I do. A favorite family outing is going to the library and wandering the aisles. When I was little I wanted to be a librarian. When I was 16 I worked at a Trade/Buy bookstore and LOVED it. One day when my hubby gets us rich I want to open a book store/cafe’ and spend all of my time reading and drinking yummy coffee. Ahhhh. The good life…coffee and books.

My Christmas books…two down, one to go.
