I'd forgotten all about that.

Oh and I LOVED the Thorn Birds - had it on VHS too.<br /><br />Yes I often could be found in Aaron's first two years saying because of him I never have time to read, but yet I had time to blog - clever you saying it means we have two babies - you are right!<br /><br />Things got better when I got a kindle, as it had a night light and I would lie in bed next to Aaron and read it - the light ONLY faced the "book" so did not at all illuminate/disturb him.<br /><br />What was ironic was the time that I read the most: last year when my employer was going through administration I read ALL THREE of the 50 shades of grey books, on the kindle. I was working 12-14 hour days (3 days a week) but devoured those books as I needed a distraction.<br />My job had also been like a baby.<br /><br />BUT the light was attached to the cover of the kindle which Aaron broke. So that lovely pattern came to an end.<br /><br />I replaced the kindle but never the light, but did get back into reading, a few months ago and even read a book (Honour) for Brit Mums book club.<br /><br />I now make time for reading as I know my sanity needs it.<br /><br />Great post m'darling and thank you for taking the me time to write this post.<br /><br />I hope to see you dive into those books.<br /><br />Liska xxNew Mum Onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14285584922202683960noreply@blogger.com
