ReplyDeleteI've been blogging through 2 moves now and generally average 2 books a week. Looking back at my records, the month we had a long move (across half the country) I read exactly 2 books. During the month of the recent short move (8 miles and we did it in small trailer loads spread out over several weeks) I read 5 books. Need I say more?
Probably by child #3, you can live without the breastfeeding book. I nursed over 2 years without reading any. :) I can't believe how much you read. During any downtime I get, I just sit like a zombie at my computer.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely read the Adele Faber book on Talking So Your Kids Will Listen... I found it very helpful. My favorite was say it with a word. It really works, even when they grow up.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the move. I have been there too.
You were going to read 27 books in a month with the life you've got right now? Aren't you the optimist!
