Harry Potter IS DONE!

I can't believe it. I really expected to feel the HP let down but it didn't come... yet. I feel really good about the way she wrapped up the series. I still have some questions but I have a feeling that while reading to Wyatt from book 1 on to 7 I should pick up on things I may have missed on my power reads. He can't wait. Jackson is bit young I think and I'll need to curb my reading to him, maybe some magic tree house books or Wishbone perhaps. I am really looking forward to some one on one time with Wyatt and Jackson seperately.

School starts just 3 weeks from today. I am not ready for my baby to go to Kindergarten. I'm not I'm not I'M NOT! I don't remember much from kindergarten or first grade but I remember A LOT from second grade and I hope Wyatt's experience is as wonderful this fall as mine was a Las Juntas with Mrs. Tutt. Actually all my teachers at LAS JUNTAS were great right up til 5 grade. Mrs. Edmonds was a bit odd, small woman with red pixie cut hair. I remember little from that year, only that she wrote on the chalk board."Whoever told you that anything was possible never tried to dribble a football". What the H*LL? And why do I remember THAT 20 years later. Damn I'm old. LOL

Ok so I am now going to read the Lance Armstrong book. I should probably finish Wicked and Under the Banner of Heaven before starting something else. I have this drive to read non-ficton right now (HP7 excluded). Not my usual style. Children are getting in the way of that though. I have a feeling that with school starting I will have little time for little things like reading for me. To read about my creature comforts including reading, you can follow the link above. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel... Winter break is only 22 weeks away!

Sorry for the lack of blogging for the last week. When dear FFP is home my time on this here computer is limited. He just does not understand... and I understand that, don't like it but definitely understand. Anyhow now I have immerced myself in full blown Harry Potter-dom and I broke away long enough to cover the boys and let you know where I will be. I got up this morning drove the kids to Paradise, stopped to pick up a teaching shirt at works HQ and then stopped to buy HP#7 before class. Drove back to Paradise left my book with my mom and had serious HP withdrawls. Promised the boys I'd buy them each a book. Went to Target found them great books but walked out with another HP. Isn't that sad... mom doesnt need to buy one on Monday. She can have that one. LOL. I was called a Harry Potter nerd today. I am perfectly comfortable with that. I already know of one maybe two deaths and I'm only on page 100. OH OH OH. I cannot wait. But more blogging tomorrow because I cannot put down the book I will probably be done by then. Night all and happy Harry reading to all of you!
