After 3 very long weeks, The Girl has returned to school. Maybe I’m wrong, but I think that a 3 week vacation is a bit much for Christmas break. By New Years Day, I was ready for her to go back to school. She and The Boy were getting on each other’s nerves like nobody’s business, and she started sleeping later and later every morning. Getting her out of bed this morning was a nightmare…of course, the morning went downhill from there, but that was not her fault at all.
Anyway, as hectic as it is, I’m glad to be back on a schedule. This week will be rough because it’s the first week back, and next week will be rougher because my mom will be going back to Michigan. All of that aside, though, my family just functions better with a set schedule.
On a different note, in the last month I have read the Twilight Series. I wasn’t going to read it, because it’s about vampires and it’s a love story, both of which are not my cup of tea. Add to that the fact that it’s written for teenagers, and I was really turned off. But, my dear friend recommended it, and I don’t think she’s ever been wrong about a book before, so I gave in. I read the first book before Christmas, and was hooked. Brian bought the entire series for me for Christmas, and I’ve finished all of them already. They are truly addicting, and I can definitely see why there is such a huge following. If you want a quick read that is uber-entertaining, I recommend reading the series. If you want your book to be educational or philosophical, you should probably skip it……I will be trying to convince Brian to go see the movie with me though… 🙂
