I can't believe that I ever put down reading for pleasure. Recently, Claire loosely suggested that we start a book club because there was a book she had heard about and wanted to read. So for her birthday I gave her a copy of the book and a promise that her wish would be fulfilled. Since I bought the book 7 days ago I am already well over halfway in to it and CANNOT put it down. I am not blogging about this to plug the book (although I totally recommend it!!) but rather to say I am so glad I have rediscovered reading for pleasure. I am kicking myself for ever putting books down when the kids came along. Though I truly didn't have the time, I have completely missed the outlet that they always give me. If you are a Mom and read this post and aren't reading for pleasure (kids books don't count), pick up a book. I could have soooo used the healthy outlet during those crazy times. Besides, to have my kids see me with a book in my hand can only reinforce the same for them!!!

OMG- You are sooo funny- I am slightly jealous I don't have my copy (hint hint) but don't know what I think!
Yall have Gooooot to read either "Notes from the Underbelly" or "Tales from the Crib" by Risa Greene, both hysterically funny for moms and unsolicated writting, very frank, yet treuly hilarious for those of us who have taken that journey. Love ya, miss ya. Muah!

Yay! I am so glad you are having some "Buffie Time" and reading for fun. I'm actually going to pick it up this week myself and look into it too!
