Musing Mondays

Happy Monday! (if there is such a thing)... It's a rainy, dark, and overall gloomy day here in Maine ~ perfect day for curling up in front of my fire and reading ~ and lucky for me, work isn't on the docket today :).

Here's this week's Musing Monday:

Other than working at a job, what is your biggest interruption to reading? What takes you away from your book(s)?


As much as I'd love to permanently live inside the magical pages of a book, I can't allow my life to happen around me while I immerse myself in my own little world. It's difficult to pull myself away, but I have a wonderful husband and two furry children who deserve my undivided attention, and I have a new house that I am slowly but surely forming into a cozy sanctuary. That and I have family that lives a few hours away, and most of the time, weekends are filled with visits and busy plans that don't involve quite, alone time to read (I wish I could read in the car while my love drives, but it inevitably makes me sick).  Another thing that takes me away is the stress caused by my job. I'm only there forty hours a week, but sometimes I come home unable to focus on anything because of a headache due to the silly and ridiculous events of the day. Finding a job I love (and get paid for) isn't an easy task ~ that's why I try to fill the rest of my day with things that truly matter to me whether it's reading, writing, or family.

Happy Reading Everyone :)
