tired of books, no




I started reading a book "The help"  I am enjoying it.  But the reason I don't read much is that I really like books A Lot, and I can't put them down.  I'm actually reading it right now, and while I was driving, making love to my husband, taking a shower.  And you see the problem.  I try to look up and nod at the kids every so often.  But I stayed up until 2:00 last night reading it, and then could sleep till 3:00 thinking about it.  It's like when you hit pause on the t.v and the image is there frozen, but it follows me around.  That's why I don't read so much any more. 

And boy am I tired, I remember this feeling from when I was nursing a newborn.  Like I know I need to tell the kids what to do, but I'm too tired to.  And then I get frustrated at them.  I didn't get frustrated tonight, I knew it was my fault.  But I better go finish up that book so I can resume thinking about my own life.

The book I should be reading:
Romans 8:1-17
Live to please the flesh is death.  Live to please the Spirit is life.
