I was never a fast reader, at most I read one book a month. But when my daughter came along almost 4 years ago, my reading dropped even more. No change in my desire, just less time!
I was never a fast reader, at most I read one book a month. But when my daughter came along almost 4 years ago, my reading dropped even more. No change in my desire, just less time!
But now is the time for me to get going. I have 4 books on my shelf ready to go with many more to come.
I don't have children of my own, but I work 5-6 days/week with special needs (emotional/behavioral, autism, etc.) and it is rewarding to spend a lot of time with them (well, minus the cursing I get from the E/B disturbed 
), but it takes a lot of time and energy away from me that could have gone to reading.

Not worrying about it as much as just realizing that I've never really gone through such a spell

Mine's been more work-related, but I do recall grad school exhaustion too well even after 20 years *NM*

What are you doing at work? My ability to read waxes and wanes with what I'm doing.
