Burning the Kindle at both ends

After making my cup of coffee this morning, I dusted off my Kindle and continued to read a book I started before Sam was born. After watching the George W. Bush: 9/11 Interview last night with Neil, it inspired me to continue to read Decision Points, which is his autobiography. I am a fan of George W. Bush and wanted his book to be one of my first's when getting back into the reading world. I used to read all of the time. I purchased a Kindle about a month before Sam was born and thought it'd be a neat way to get back into reading. Of course, I do it at a time when I was about to pop and life would forever change. But, leave it to me to start another project and have yet to finish it. That is definitely a pitfall of mine.

Last night's interview with him was very insightful and touching. And, even after reading a 1/3 of the way into his book, I begin to like him more and more. He has a nice, genuine heart and grew up right here in Texas. When I read his book and hear his decisions behind some of the craziest moments of his presidency, I realize more and more that he is, in fact, a good person who genuinely wanted to do the right thing for the American people. Just today I read about how he wrote a letter to each of the families of the those service men that died defending our freedom. At the end of his presidency, it was a total of over five thousand families. That, to me, was very heart-warming.

Even though I have many "projects" I need to finish, such as my cross stitching, Sam's baby book, and all of the other things I have began, I decided that I need to finish Decision Points and check this off of my list. Sometimes, I feel like I have so many things going on yet I don't do anything at the same time. Weird, I know. But, it's true. Sam keeps me busy and it seems like all of the other things like cooking, cleaning, dishes, projects, and all just take a back seat to relaxing on my down time. I am a stay-at-home mom and you'd think that I'd get a million things done. But when the time comes, and Sam is asleep, I value that quiet time and just want to relax on the couch and prop my feet up. Like now, he's asleep beside me and I'm drinking my lemonade and blogging about not doing things I should be doing. Ha! I need to get on the ball.
