Book Lovers Day

I woke up this morning and as I sat and drank my lemonade collagen cocktail I said "Alexa! Good Morning." And that little hockey puck said "Happy Book Lovers Day!" she also said something about being able to give me a famous first line of a popular book, but when I asked her she said, "hmm, I'm not sure." She's the most annoying informative thing I know.

I do not read as much as I did before having children, but I remember reading multiple books a weekend as a young adult. I miss having a book hangover. Being so engrossed in the story, that when you finally finish you're sad and want to go back to that world.

I still read, just not as ferociously as I use to. I don't know if it's the dreaded Mommy Brain. For sure when they were little it was a lack of time. But, now that the kids are mostly self-sufficient I think it may be because I'm constantly listening for a child bomb. That moment all parents know, when it gets so quiet you just know something wrong is happening. Sadly, 99.9% of the time your parental instincts are correct. That's not conducive to reading.

Now, that they are both in school I am hoping to go back to reading more. After I get the house back to where I want it.

I have even already gone to the library and I have 6 books just waiting for me to sit down and lose myself in them. Don't worry books, I will read you.
