It is REALLY hard for me to think about putting my books away. Most of them don't get used regularly. I don't get to sit down and really spend time reading these days, but I am a reader, it's one of the things I LOVE to do. As I was thinking about why I really don't want to put them away/out of sight (I've actually thought about it a few times before this...) I realize they are one of very few things that make me feel like ME, like a real intelligent individual person instead of just Mommy. Being able to at least see them every day, especially when I am stuck at home with no car and no money to go do other things like take yoga or dance or whatever that is for ME, reminds me that there is still substance in between my ears. It is really honestly heartbreaking to think about putting that away. But I will probably have to, I don't see any other solution that we can afford at the moment.
