Bah hummbugg!!!

So it is now a week in to February and it feels like time is flying by in slow motion!!!! Is that possible???
As many of you know I love to read and probably could do more in my life if I would just put the book down... but I love cuddling up with a blanket and turning each page and getting involved with each character and being able to enjoy that quiet peaceful time away from the real world!!!!! NOT!!!!!! The last few books I have read I have been enjoying greatly and can't wait to turn the page to find out what happens and WHAMO the author throws in a nice little #@$#%@# word and ruins the whole thing!!!!! Why!!!!! Its not like I haven't already invested myself in a great book nearly 200 pages into it, than I am thrown into a brick wall!!! I have always wondered why don't books have ratings like movies.... It sure would make things a lot easier for choosing books!!!

I have already had to have my 9 year old return a couple books to the school library that were not appropriate for her... She is reading at a 5-6th grade reading level and we have already come across rape, sex and swearing!!! How quick do our kids need to grow up?? I would love to let my 9 year old be a kid and not worry about make-up, what boys think of her and who the cool kids are and does she fit in!! Boy do i wish that I lived in Pleasantville and everything was always perfect and there was no bad!! I know I and dreaming... But it is sure nice to dream!!!

I am grateful that I have good friends and a great family to help with all those bad times and I am grateful for each of you and your examples!! THANK YOU!!!!
