I've been sucked in, friends. I know there is no bottom to this pit. I know that I will get more stress than answers. I know that I could spend bazillions of dollars, but I've taken the first step down that dark road. I bought 2 parenting books today.
At least it was at the used bookstore. What did I get? I got What to Expect the Toddler Years and The Girlfriend's Guide to Surviving the First Year of Motherhood.
I'm not going to start reading them yet, mostly because I have other things to read. And why stress myself out so early? Once I know more about when/if (more like "when") we'll be adopting, I'll look into them a bit more.
Who am I kidding? You and me both know that I'll be up late, thinking about everything, and I'll start looking through the Girlfriend one.
In other reading news, I believe I am done with C.S. Lewis for a while. I had to stop in the middle of That Hideous Strength because I just didn't care one whit and couldn't handle reading one more page. What I'll likely read is one of the trashier books I bought today when I got the parenting books.
And you know what else? This whole teaching/working/ministry thing is a little unfair. I'm supposed to be on break from school & able to read whatever I want, but I feel like I have homework & need to read things for my teaching series coming up. And I already have it planned! But noooooooo, I want it to be good and helpful and..and robust. Gah. I should just return these highly overdue books to the library at school & then I won't be able to stress myself about it.
