I told the guys that I was taking the weekend off.  I wasn't going to fold laundry, remind them to take baths, cook, or entertain them.  They were on their own, don't talk to me, live if you can.

Day one went fairly well.  I only had to remind the boys once or twice (each) that i was off, and they had to find their own shit, put together their own food, and not bother me.  Stayed in my PJs until 2pm.  Read lots (online).  Answered and cleaned out emails, posted pics to Facebook, talked to my mother on the phone for about 2 hours.  She's broken down and gotten on Facebook.

But I did not live up to my resolution to read at least one hour every day from a BOOK.  What does this say about the time I'm online?

Day two now.  They apparently don't believe me about the I'm not cooking thing.  I don't know why, I rarely cook on the weekend anyway.  I guess they just can't believe that I really do not care when, if or what they eat.  And apparently it came as a big surprise to them that they were not "off" either.  That the birds still had to be fed, and the dishes were not going to pile up all over the kitchen waiting for me.

Ah well, think I'll go read now.  I finally managed to start Dead Until Dark and I quite like it so far.

I'm all nuts now about the Twilight series.  I can't believe I am completely sucked into a young adult book with teen-aged characters about teen-aged angst.  With the major female being as close to the definition of a Mary Sue as any I've ever seen.  But I'm just loving it.  This woman can write emotions and angst. I will have to go see the movie and see how well they handled everything.

I've finished books 1 & 2 & 3, and I actually spent the $18 for book 3, which is still only out in hardcover. 

 I was going to buy Breaking Dawn last weekend, but Thomas literally threw his body in front of my reaching hand and herded me out of the bookstore, saying, "You made me promise not to let you buy anymore books!"

I do have an overwhelming pile of books waiting to be read.  But...

I was so productive yesterday that I'm taking today as a personal day.

Not a vacation day, I'm a mother, I don't know what those are.

But a day for me personally, where everything I do, okay, most of what I do, alright Damnit, at least 51% of what I do today will be for ME and only ME.

I may even read one of those books in that frighteningly tall stack of books I own but haven't read.

A bookshop is just a genteel black hole that knows how to read.
