My reading at the moment has slowed waaaaaayyyyy down. I wasn't sure at first why (yes I know I have two kids, but they both still nap, so that's no excuse). But then I started considering when I typically read:
1. when the kids are napping
2. when the kids are in bed at night
Hmm...what am I doing instead of reading during those times?
Playing with my iPhone. *sigh* Yes, my iPhone. My husband very nicely surprised me with one for Christmas. Previously, I have never owned a cell phone, much less a tech-savvy item like this. So now when I should be reading, I am on my iPhone checking email, facebook, or reading blogs. Not that I'm complaining about the phone, I LOVE it! But I think I might need to prioritize, as people really don't post many fascinating new developments in the course of a two hour window of time. So in the future, iPhone, you are not invited during kid naptime.
Why else am I not reading? Well, I have no good books. No, that's not the right way to word it. I have good books, but they are all really heavy reading. I tend to be so exhausted by the time I sit down to read these days that I feel the need for something lighter and more fun. So to remedy that I just requested several books from my "to read" list at the library. So come next Wednesday, this excuse will be rendered unusable.
Why am I worrying about not reading? Well, you may or may not have noticed that my competitor has finished her second book. She is beating me, and with three kids at that! And as I am not one to surrender easily, consider my game stepped up.

I understand wanting to just relax and do something less "heavy" when you have a break during nap time. Good luck in the competition! :)
