Am I a Bad Mother?
I got a note from a loyal reader a few weeks ago asking this question that really made me laugh.
"Do you think God forgives reader-mothers who give their kids a quick and easy pasta or sandwich because we MUST FINISH a book and don't want to cook?"
For all of you looking for absolution from overlooking dinner for your reading addiction, I hereby do absolve you. I know there are many time that I not only have rushed dinner, but also have slept through the morning alarm after staying up way way too late at night reading a book.
And for all of you who are skipping a four-food group dinner the night before your book club meeting to get the book read. You are doubly absolved.
Sooooo...back to reading for all of you! Flip those pages.

It's nice to know I'm not alone. I did exactly the same thing...let my daughter engross herself in Scooby Doo just so I could finish a book. Felt like a bad mother, but I guess we all need just a few moments to ourselves to escape into a good book :)
