Oh To Relax With A Good Book

As you know we were on vacation last week – Disney World!  Okay – it’s not a RELAXING vacation.  Running with a 6 and 8 year old from 8 am – 11 pm for 6 days really makes you tired.  But we had the BEST time.

I did get to relax some.  On the plane – both ways.  I was reading a book.  A VERY good book.  ”Sarah’s Key.”  When I first started I did not think that I could read it.  The topic is just heart-wrenching.  It did not take long for me to get into it – and then I did not want to put it down.  I did not have any time on the trip to read (I wonder why) so I picked it back up on the plane ride home.  I thought I would sleep – but the story was so riveting I just could not stop.  I finished the book at home that night.  After I was done I just felt – empty.  I wanted another book.  So I picked up another  one that I have had waiting for me.  I have started reading and I find I want to keep going.  But finding time is…well…next to impossible.

I have had a cub scout banquet to plan and run, some volunteer jobs that have to get done, articles to write, work to do, a husband who needs me and of course, the kiddos!  So now am I trying to schedule some reading time into my day.  I can’t read at night (I just fall asleep).  So the question is when.  Every day is different – so I don’t have a regular time of day that I can read.  Maybe after I get a few of these big jobs off my plate I can make reading a priority.

You think?

What is a priority for you?  Just you and no one else?
