I am exhausted tonite. This post won't be long, I promise you. The kids are out of school tomorrow at 11am & I'm out of work. I need a break. I feel like I could sleep thru the weekend.
Today they were also out early so we came home & had a quick lunch & then headed off to Borders. My perfect afternoon. We spent forever in the kids section picking out new books & then headed over to Seattle's Best for cocoa & coffee.I'm a bookworm. A word nerd. I've worked in a library & being surrounded by an army of characters in a thousand books is such a safe feeling for me. How can you feel alone when those shelves are lined with stories about people that are relatable. Real or imagined, we are all connected. My story is at least in part yours too. To have little kids that grasp this makes me so happy. To hear them want to go to a book store & love the experience as much as I do- it's a gift for me. Throw a mini fit because you have to narrow it down to two books rather than three. Dump cocoa on your coat. Nothing can ruin the joy in knowing that a bag from Borders makes them as happy as it makes me.

And when they are older they will most certainly thank you for that gift. : )

ReplyDeleteI used to work for Barnes & Noble. My daughter and I love to go there still and sit in the aisles like all of those people that used to annoy the crap out of me. It's the best!
