there's a monster high doll in my purse.

I guess that's what occurs when you wake up at 8 am (I went to bed at 5), and go to babysit 4 kids.
They are 6,4,2 1/2 and 1 1/2. YAY ME! They weren't half bad, and they all went down for a nap.
So mission babysit without pulling my freshly dyed hair out, accomplished.
And here is me, still putting off reading... i don't know why I do this to myself when I know I could finish the novel in 3 hours if I actually sat down to read without all these worldly distractions.
The Poisonwood Bible- By Barbara Kingslover, is what I'm putting myself through. A good novel, full of symbolism and brilliant themes. Sexism, racism, contempt, this baby's got it all. But unfortunately, the analysis and sift card work keeps me from enjoying it all that much.
In the novel, there's a character named Adah, she has a twin, Leah, but unlike Leah, Adah has hemiplegia. Which is basically the condition of being slowed and lamed by her asymmetrical brain. She has this funny way of looking at things backwards and forwards to examine them. To her, everything is a palindrome. When she walks she limps, and drags her right side. But yet she reads at college level, learns languages fast as hell, and has more understanding of her father's wrong doing more than any of the other children. She comes to terms with her condition and begins to cherish it, because without her lameness, she wouldn't see the world in a different light. She's cynical, yet more appreciative of what she's been dealt than any of the other characters.
To say the least, I envy her.
