erm...

I got nuthin' a big fat nuthin.

I've got lots I should be doing to day, two extra kids, phone calls to make, appointments to schedule, work to make like I'm doing, laundry, dishes, bathrooms that refuse to clean themselves. How dare they!

Books:

Finding Serentiy in the Age of Anxiety. I feel embarrassed reading this. I wish I had a brown paper wrapper to put it in. Weather or not I learn from it has yet to be seen.

Moby Dick. It's going slowly with the great white whale. Very slowly.

A Well-Trained Mind: Oh, this book is fabulous! I still have daydreams of homeschooling even though I know it's nevah going to happen, but this also takes the role of schooling companion and supplement. I love the books that are recommended, and now I don't feel so weird that my five year old adores dickens and tolkien.

Collected piratey ghost stories by William Hope Hodgson: Not the real title, but I can't bring it to mind at the moment. He's the lovecraft of the sea, matey! arg!
