I've done it again

I have too many books going. Of course I have a stack of books to read in my student office. Of course there are books in my house that I have yet to read. And of course I have recently borrowed four books from a friend, checked out four books from the local library, and three books from the school library. No wonder I feel all up in my head!

I am reading:
* The Wind in the Willows This is slow and ongoing. I read to B while I nurse. It is a guaranteed sleeper for him.
*A book on local trees
*The Dark is Rising I believe this series was [livejournal.com profile] hrafntinna's childhood favorite.
*The latest Sookie Stackhouse, Dead in the Family Just got it in on special order from the local library.

Also in the home reading line up are a book on sacred foods from the around the world, Nourishing Traditions a whole foods cookbook, and Eros by Anne Carson.

Today I finished a school book, so I'm not sure what to start next. It'll probably be another Mary, Co-redemtrix book from Queenship press. Sigh.

Dood. Living in Wales and being a student is like free time all the time! I just gotta get better at this focus thing!

I was thinking in about eight and a half months time when the space prawn is born, that free time is going to evaporate. Newborn and toddler is the perfect solution to idle hands if my mum's recollections are anything to go by ;)

I know. But I took B to work until he was 7 months old. I am aware of the challenges. Mostly it's the evolutionary brain malfunctioning that worries me: until B was about 10 months old I was not very with it and could barely remember common words, like 'shoes'. My brain was was busy keeping B alive. Stupid evolution. ;)

It's going to be hard, but if I want children, and I do, I'm just gonna have to try to do it all. My uterus is no spring chicken. But many women have trod this difficult path before me, so I am not reinventing the wheel at all.

By the way, Bennett adores the Doctor.
