Is it bad when it's only 11 in the morning and you already feel like you need a nap? *yawners*
Book #70 - Pawn of Prophecy (Book one of the Belgariad) by David Eddings - To start with, this was a super fast read. It's the set-up book for the next 4 books in the series and it took me about 2.5 hours. So, yes. I finished it last night. Anyway. For those that have read any sort of epic fantasy-type stories before this is what this is. You have a prophecy, a couple of sorcerers and a thing of immense power that has been stolen and must be retrieved. You also have the boy that's at the center of said prophecy but who knows nothing about who he is or what he's expected to do. My understanding is that David Eddings wrote this book to see how he could weave all those fantasy elements into a cohesive and captivating story. Personally, I think he did a very good job. I've also read this entire series several times through (but not yet this year!) and think it's a damn fun read. So, there.
In other news, Cole got off to school just fine. He actually told me that he'd rather be in school than at the daycare. Okay. I absolutely won't argue with that. I still like his teacher, which is no surprise since I liked her last year. I'm a little bored now that no one's home and I have the whole house to myself. Whatever shall I do?!? Oh, wait. I'll read. Or watch 28 Weeks Later (totally unauthorized copy, thank you very much) which I watched 30 minutes of yesterday before Hailey wandered into my room and I thought that freaky zombies were not the thing for a 4 year old to be watching. So, I put in Eight Legged Freaks. Because giant, mutant spiders who devour humans whole is so much better. Word!
I'm off. I'm hoping to have my internet problem fixed tonight. It just needs to be fixed. Like, now.

Cole sounds like he's off to a good start, having the same teacher (as long as he likes her) is a great way to focus right away on learning rather than new routines, new expectations. Be proud the teacher picked him for her class, he must be a great kid!

I'm glad you're saying good things about having the same teacher. I was a little worried, but I'll defer to you in this matter. You being a teacher and all.
It's good to hear from you!
