It kills you to see them grow up.  But I guess it would kill you quicker if they didn't.

Tonight was another successful book club. I am home a little earlier than normal, but with March Break coming up, two of our members were away.

We had read, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. It was generally well received by our club. Most of us are unfamiliar with our WW II history, and didn't even know that the Guernsey Islands had been occupied.

Moms out there - if you are not currently in a book club with other moms, you really need to start your own. We meet once a month, and sometimes spend most of our time talking about our husbands and kids and drinking wine. Also, these women in my group always have the most amazing selections of cheese. At home we stick with marble cheddar, so it is always and adventure.

Being the Catholic system, my children are now officially on March Break. Tonight, because they have no school in the morning, they actually waited up for me! I guess a few more years and I will be waiting up for them.

How many of you are going away for March Break? What is the plan, skiing or going south? For those of you staying home, are your kids in camps, or are you hoping to see some of what the city has to offer? Or just staying home and relaxing?

Whatever you choose do you, have a safe and happy March Break!

What's your next book? Mine are The Story of Edgar Sawtelle and The Gargoyle...I liked my first bookclub so much that I joined a second one!

Read the Gargoyle on my trip last week. Wow- intense! At first I found it really disturbing, but then I sort of fell into the story.

I am still on a wait list for the Story of Edgar Sawtelle at the library. We are reading Barnacle Love by Anthony De Sa for our next book club. Right now, for fun, I am reading Brick Lane.
