The only decent time I have to read is when I am on my treadmill, either before the kids get up, or after they have gone to bed. Its my reward for getting on the treadmill. Yes I am a bookworm, I love to read more than any other pass time. But I have come to realize that it comes with a high cost if I do it while my kiddos are awake and running wild. Its like they have radar for when I'm using the telephone, reading, and the bathroom. Eric was just complaining that every time he calls two seconds later chaos sounds off in the background, and I start trying to delegate things with him on the line. I try to tell him its just their radar for the phone being in use. Sometimes I think (conspiracy theory # 568) that the cell phone waves (that's what Eric and I use to talk, Verizon to Verizon free minutes) cut through the air like silent, unseen lasers screwing up kids brain patterns turning them into banchies!
If there is a book I just can't stand to put down...well....then its worth the consequences I guess. The Twilight series was the last one that did it for me, and before that it was Macbeth....I think that's it. Its seams like a small list but it really has to be something to side track my daily routine, especially lately with Evan's homeschooling...ugh (its more time consuming than I thought). Currently reading Harry Potter. After seeing Cody read them a couple times I thought I would give them a try, so far so good. I have been exercising morn, and night just to keep from reading during the day though. How about you guys, are you reading good?

Thank you I like yours too. I am totally new at this blog thing, I just use it so my mom, family, and friends, can keep up with my life. And of course anyone else that's interested too.

Ah Books! my favorite subject. I went through a phase where I just couldn't read anything, because I'd get too sidetracked and let everything go to pot. Luckily those days have passed. I can't read while bouncing on exercise equipment, so I listen to music or podcasts. But I read every chance I get. I'm currently reading about three books. I loved Twilight, Harry Potter and I am currently in love with history- American History mostly. I often feel guilty as I drift off to sleep as I realize I read so much that day but didn't read any scriptures. :-(
