I'm sorry, kids. I've been more distracted than usual with my life and have found it harder and harder to skip reality and sneak into a book, much less blog about it. I'm not trying to win sympathy points because I know we all have stuff going on but prior to this new season I was reflecting on the smooth ride I was enjoying between crises.
It was so nice.
Then I got a job transfer and it's much worse than I anticipated. I won't go there but it's changed my perception of desire to get up in the morning. Then my husband was informed he needed a little brain surgery. Nothing serious, the doctor just wanted to shave his head, cut his flesh, power saw a piece of skull to remove it, then pull out a little extra growth that had accumulated. The new colleagues were less than sympathetic.
On the positive side, the brain surgery went well. Hubby is feeling nearly 100% aside from headaches and fatigue. He's a trooper. My oldest is making college applications and scored 29 on the ACT. My kids are healthy, my husband is healing and my dog hasn't killed any of my chickens in 6 months. I still have my books.
So here is my Monday book list:
Right now I am reading:
Nothing. Sorry about that. Got you all worked up and I haven't cracked a book all day. Bummer.
But. I just finished reading:
I'm not going to lie. I won't read them all. I might read something else. But these are the books striking my fancy right at this moment.
Someday I will write a book called The Art of Escaping from Reality. It will include a list of my favorite books, a story about my blogging, and of course, a couple of chapters on my chickens.
A summary is this:

Oh my goodness - I'm glad your husband is on the mend. That must have been really scary.
I hope you find a little time to read this week. Maybe it will help you to take your mind off of the situation at work.
Wow! I think you need to read a book about how to survive your husband's brains survey while the world around spins faster!!!
Seriously, I would pick some short and soothing to read when you are ready!!
