(They do not keep me up to midnight, but put me to sleep by 9:30. But when I read a good book, my family doesn't eat on time or see me awake in the day, unless I am still stuck in the book. But oh it is fun!!! :)heidibellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07056721416647042684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28232458.post-62214478805661860102007-08-31T11:05:00.000-07:002007-08-31T11:05:00.000-07:00Mansfield Park is really good too.

Just give me a couple of days to recover. Then, maybe we could even meet up at the park one day?? I know Camp Comfort is great, and (Christine, this is for you too) but Sarazotti Park at about 8am is empty, cool (temperature) and free. So, let me know if you gals want to meet up...we could maybe play a while, then come back to my house for a snack??hestermomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025673291317975980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28232458.post-77693709366398802442007-08-27T22:17:00.000-07:002007-08-27T22:17:00.000-07:00There is no other way to read Austin than until th...There is no other way to read Austin than until the wee hours of the morning ... telling yourself all along, "Only one more page." And the only way to actually get a book read (with little ones) is to read until the wee hours of the morning. So, I think you are on the right track ... but you might have to put a few days between Austin's books. Have you read Stepping Heavenward? If you like Austin you will love this fabulous book. I have a copy if you want it.ATSmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15012539505108491510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28232458.post-43924487420708416482007-08-27T21:17:00.000-07:002007-08-27T21:17:00.000-07:00I do that a lot!

I "wake up" after 10 p.m., and so if I'm not in bed by 10:30 (which I have to force myself to do) then I'll stay up until 1 a.m. and do ANYTHING...scrapbook, blog, watch a movie and (my favorite) organize an entire closet from start to finish, all the while trying to be very quiet so as to not wake up my family. BUT, the next morning at 7 a.m. I PAY FOR IT DEARLY!!! So, why do I do it? I am a night person; my creative juices flow at night. And everyone, including my hubby, is in bed and I have the house to myself. He he he!!!<BR/><BR/>Okay, so this could have been a blog in itself! Good night (just kidding, it's only 9:15).Christine H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08897383074446402880noreply@blogger.com
