For down time, which I have very little of, I read. I re-read one of my most favorite books called Lakota Woman. This book is a must read! I went through all the emotions all over again, which I didn't think was possible because I had previously read it.
It's a great autobiography of a "mixed Indian" named Mary Crow dog. She tells of her life on the Sioux reservation, the American Indian Movement, and the hardships that go along with life. A great read, I highly recommend it.
On another note, I'm currently reading Kite Runner. This tragedy started off on a wonderful note, but turned sour. It isn't a horrible book, just traumatizing. I don't want to spoil anything, but have tissues and a shoulder to cry on hand when reading. I'm not even half way through the book and I get misty eyed. I stopped after I noticed I was literally forcing myself to turn the pages. My poor husband has been patiently sitting through my Kite Runner discussions every morning to work. I find I have been arguing with myself during these discussions.
