the absence of parenting stories and kid antidotes today. That would be because for the last 24 hours I have not been parenting. Well, I’ve been keeping my kids alive (by which I mean being vaguely aware of them not playing in the middle of the street and feeding them when they get too whiney.) but that’s about it. I have been absorbed in Harry Potter. Oh my goodness. Oh. My. Goodness. Now I don’t want to write about the book, since lots of people haven’t read it yet, but I must say: “Holy cow, that was good.”
And if you’ve never read Harry Potter before, please get off your high horse and read it. I know its technically a childrens’ book. And its about magic. I came into the game late as well, until I finally, finally read one to see what the fuss was all about. They really are brilliant. Go start with Book 1. You will not be disappointed!!

Oh, they ARE brilliant. Loved it. Totally ignored my kids for two days straight, too. I’m just sad they’re over now. Sigh.
what part are you at??? Im glad you got it- I was going to send you mine when my friend finished it.
oh, i’m done!
was it not amazing? my goodness. you definatly need tissues at the end. I need to reread it because I read it so fast since it was such an amazing book!
OH MAN!! I still haven’t even OPENED mine yet…it’s driving me crazy!! It’s just sitting there on my desk mocking me as I attempt to pack instead. This weekend, I swear I’m going to read the whole thing!
I just finished it about an hour ago…It was most definitely the best yet. I want to go back and re-read them all now. My son really wanted to read them because he loves the movies so maybe it will be our new nighttime reading. Love me some Harry!!!

I really need to stop being lazy and read the books! I love the movies but have yet to read the books.
