Reading Addiction

Well I have a bunch of pictures and stories to tell about them but don't feel like doing all that uploading right now..

I am really tired actually... my sister Amy brought me over a book that is nearly 600 pages long called Twilight. I started to read it Saturday night at 10 pm thinking I would read a chapter and then go to sleep.. well apparently I have not recovered from my binge reading addiction of my younger years and I couldn't stop reading that book! I tried so hard to find a stopping place, I told myself only one more chapter. I told myself that I had to stop at 250 pages, then 300, then I just gave up and read all night!!! Yes that is right.. i read it until quarter to six in the morning cause that is when I finished it! Of course then I couldn't fall asleep cause I was thinking about the story so much. Finally around 6:30 i drifted off... sadly I had to get up on by 10 because my boys needed me and Cory had to go to work. I actually had been awake earlier at 9ish because Theo woke up and was trying to nurse me.. I was half asleep and dreaming about a vampire sucking the blood from me but it was just Theo looking for some breakfast! It was a LONG day yesterday cause i was so tired! I feel a bit better today but still could use a nap. Dang porter doesn't take them anymore and he can get into way to much trouble with me gone upstairs asleep for an hour so I cant take one either.

So here I sit today.. Amy just brought over the second book in the series.. and there it sits tempting me. I dare not open it for fear I wont be able to stop! I miss the days when i could just binge read hours and hours... I could go through 3 books a day just lazily reading on the couch or in my bed. I remember in high school you could do book reports for extra credit and i would turn in five week and the teacher would not believe I read all the books. By the end of the year she learned that I just read allot.. she saw me cause that's all I did in class.

So that's my secret, I am a binge reader. I don't know how to stop. I wonder if there is therapy for such a thing? Well its bound to just get worse since I joined a book club... I cant wait till my kids are older and we can all just read our own books but together. I remember when I was junior high age that we would all lounge around the living room reading. its comforting to be together even though we were not interacting. Thora if you are reading this I miss reading with you on the couch. Do you remember those days?
