I am super swamped and busy and I do love a good Meme!
Elizasmom tagged me again, and I do so love being tagged. It erases the pain of being chosen last for teams in gym class. Sort of.
Anyway, this meme presents a unique challenge, as here are the rules:
1. Find the nearest book.
2. Name the book & the author.
3. Turn to page 123.
4. Go to the fifth sentence on the page. Copy out the next three sentences and post to your blog.
5. Tag three more folks.
You see, I have packed up all my books that go to pages higher than 10 and talk about topics other than brown bears who see other animals looking at them but then turn out to be kids dressed like flamingos. Luckily, I am at my desk where I recently unearthed a book that the lovely Michaela lent me perhaps a year ago that was lost in the clutter until I used some of the boring week after Xmass time to tidy up. It is called "Women Who Think Too Much." Remind you of anybody?
Ok, 5th-8th sentence on page 123.
After a while, Sheile felt much calmer and more clear headed than she had felt before seeing the pediatrician. Then her mother asked, "Sheila, why didn't you call me about this earlier?" When Sheila said she hadn't wanted to worry her, her mother said, "Girl, you've got yourself so hidden away in that pretty house with those pretty kids, you've lost perspective. The people who love you want to support you. And you need to find more people to talk to and more things to do other than stay at home all day long."
You tell her Sheila's mom! I have no idea what this is about but the chapter title is "Avoiding Future Traps." Truth is, I am interested in reading this book, but when will I get the time? Perhaps chapter one will help me deal with that.
Tag 3 more folks. Well, I am not sure who wants to do this so everyone who wants to do it, please go ahead. I think the following 3 people would be game, but I might be mistaken.
Melissa
Fluent Soul
Meghan
Now it is time to find out what the heck is going on with Sheila!
Hehe, when I saw Elizasmom tagged you I was hoping you'd tag me!

Oh yeah, that book! I forgot I lent it to you in probably one of my Wanting to Help but Hoping I'm Not Coming Off as Horribly Patronizing phases.
