Last year I set a goal for myself to read at least 30 books. I almost succeeded. I read 28 books with 8 of those being read in the month of February. I think back to what was going on then. Oh right! I had a 1-month-old baby who nursed for 30 minutes every 3 hours. I couldn't really do anything else while I was feeding her, so I always kept a book nearby. That's 4 hours every day that I got to read. Now the only reading I have time for is the 15 minutes every night where I am helping Makayla read Mac and Tab. Hardly a stimulating read for me!
I miss reading. I love being whisked away on an adventure with fascinating characters to places very different from where I currently reside.
With that being said, my goal for this week is to set aside between 20 and 30 minutes every day to sit and read. I know this will make it even harder to get to bed on time (a goal which I am still struggling to achieve), but I need to do this for me. So that I can be Laura and not just Mommy.

I can't believe you read that 28 books. That is awesome, and it is something you love, so something I think you definitly need to do for Yourself.
Wow... 20-30 mins a day is a lofty goal sister! Good luck! My goal this week was to write in my journal at least 3x this week.
Oh, and BIG congrats on the inches lost to Jillian!! I guess she does know what she's doing :)
