Library Haul

Made it to the library this morning with the boys! Here's what we came home with. I'm happy it's a mix of fiction and non-fiction. Last time I was 2 out of 6 for actually reading the books I'd checked out. We'll see how this batch goes!


Off to handle two crying babies and get the prairie dog ready for a visit to the vet. Catch you on the flip side!

Fiction Starvation

So far, I've been hit-and-miss about getting back into a regular reading routine. We went to visit my parents (the boys and I) for a few weeks and I did lots of reading. Then again, I had no household stuff to do after the boys went to bed and two grandparents who had taken off work to hold babies.

Seems like I'm doing mostly non-fiction reading these days at home -- lots of parenting books and magazines. Partly, it has to do with parenting being my new "job", since I'm staying home right now. Then again, I usually do lots of reading whenever I feel like I'm jumping into unfamiliar territory.

It's only when I feel my stress level rising that I realize its been too many days since I had a good fiction storyline to think about. I'm going to try to hit the library today or tomorrow (have to return the books from my trip!) to re-stock.

Do you all get stressed when you're not reading enough, or the right balance to keep your head from going wonky?

Look Who's Trying to Sell Us Insurance

Must be summer, the geckos are gathering on our back (brick) wall to eat the insects that come to check out the light from our living room.



(Trying to get back into the blogging mode. Hopefully more tomorrow about some actual books!) You can see more Wordless Wednesday at the headquarters and check out the newest pics of the boys at TexasRed and the Twins.
