today I'm not reading fic. which is completely off-script for me. I can't remember the last time I willingly spent a day without fanfiction. (unwillingly, sure, for doc appts and stuff, but otherwise? nope!)

instead, I'm starting on a book series today. \o/ Fablehaven, to be exact, since I've heard good stuff about it and I am secretly 8 years old. Or 8-12, as the series says it's for. (or, if you read other reviews, 8+, which I technically am!)

ALSO, today is my youngest son's 12th birthday. Gah, I wish I could keep him right here, at this stage in his life, full of wonder and not quite jaded yet. My older son is past this wonderful stage and doesn't even talk to me anymore, but Zach doesn't hate me yet. I hope he never does. I don't know if that hope is empty and misplaced, but I'm going to hold on to him as long as I can. And then... idk.

hold on to your babies for as long as you can, my friends.

(and now I'm crying so I'll just go back to reading and stuff)
