Busy busy busy!

Life is so busy with 3 boys, that I simply cannot find time to blog, or get much computer time in at all. Funny thing is that I cannot say that much of my "busyness" is all that interesting. Cleaning, cooking, nursing, breaking up fights, getting snacks and drinks for the boys, cleaning, breaking up fights, nursing, cleaning, breaking up fights.... on and on and on it goes in its uninteresting-ness. What to blog about, such a predicament!

Been reading... the one pleasure I actually find time to do, mostly while nursing. This series, titles "The Dragon Quartet" by Marjorie Kellogg is quite interesting so far. A series of 4 books: Earth, Air, Fire, Water. It lays the story of dragons and their dragon guides awakening and journeying to find "the summoner" who is calling them out of their sleep because of a great distress. One thing I have found quite interesting about the book series is the fact that in the first, you are set up in 913 German principalities, a lush fantasy story laid before you. And then book 2 launches you into 2013 African coast suffering great environmental devastation that is a clear sci-fi setting. Making the jump between the two styles, fantasy and sci-fi, took a bit to adjust into, but then really makes the story interesting. So far I have only read the first two, earth and water. Upon inspection of our book shelves, we found fire missing and I cannot continue with the story yet, which is frustrating as can be. The characters are stir-crazy in my head wanting to get out again and further their journey. I went to several bookstores and none of them had fire in stock, sigh. So I just ordered a used copy on ebay for $2 and will be anxiously awaiting its arrival.

Until then, I will continue cleaning, cooking, nursing, breaking up fights...
