For a Rainy Day

One of this mom’s favorite things to do is read books, but as most moms know it is hard to make the time. So how do I deal with this? Probably not in the most realistic way. I rationalize all the books that I buy, or receive as gifts, as being “for a rainy day.” Even when it rains though it is hard to get to my once beautifully ordered bookshelf, which now have been ravaged by little inquiring hands. I recently received Through the Children’s Gate: A Home in New York (Vintage)by Adam Gopnick and today it rained. And guess what? I got to the second page…oh well, there is always the next rainy day to look forward to.
