Where did my reading time go?

For awhile there I was reading to the children over most meals.  I eat fast, and they being typical kids, don't.  (though no one is as slow as Daddy!)  It was a nice simple time, they were all contained and had something to occupy their hands.  (the food and drink)

Then over the past week or two I started not to have that time, nothing from the AO list was getting read.  Where did my time go?

I grabbed a book on my way to Lunch one day, and....

Then it hit me.  Little One was eating spoon food.  So in-between eating my own food and reading, I had to feed her.  Preferably the same food I was eating as she tends to notice and complain if it is different.

I officially decided that day not to try and read any more stories at lunch time.

I also officially decided not to spend an ounce of time reading any books I did not love.  If I have so little time the words must be worth it!

  1. Wish I could come read to them at lunch!! I read at breakfast and Steve reads at lunch so we get two books in. Right now I am doing Box car children and he is doing Narnia.
