What to do, what to do

Son just requested a trip to the bookstore. I don't have a problem with this, except that today is the day all the beds get stripped and I do a ton of laundry. Not that I want to strip the beds and do a ton of laundry, and I was planning to take the kids to Burper King for lunch.

But taking me into a bookstore is like setting an alcoholic loose in a liquor store. I don't need to get anymore books, I have a ton that I haven't read yet, but still....I did want to check out some homeschooling stuff...

I can hear Husband now, "Go to the library! Books are free there!"

Common sense is struggling with a desire to sit among stacks of books...what to do, what to do?

I'm thrilled that Son wants to get more books, and he'll probably want to pick up a few computer manuals while he's in the store. Trust me, Son is going to be the next computer expert in the family. Last night Husband remarked that Son picked up PowerPoint faster than some of the people he works with!

I asked Son this morning if he wanted his own blog. He said no. I guess he doesn't want to the world to see his writing just yet. (He's not bad, btw.)
