Half Broke Horses by Jeannette Walls I listened to this in audio. I really enjoyed the story, but thought that Jeannette Walls would of done a little better in *reading* the story. She sounded like she was reading out of a textbook. Please stick to writing! :) View all my reviews

Ok let's see if I can get into the habit of this!! Today is Monday!!! I am reading "What Alice Forgot" by Liane Moriarty. I am reading it on my Coby Kyros Tablet (WHICH I LOVE!!). It's the first book I've read on this tablet and won't be the last. I downloaded it from my library which was super easy to do! Ok..this isn't a post about my Coby Kyros..though I should probably do a post

Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen This was a pretty good book. It was really slow going until the last 3-4 chapters. Reading about a circus train was very interesting though! I'd enjoy reading more about circus trains and the people who lived and worked on them. View all my reviews

Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore My rating: 3 of 5 stars I read this awhile ago. It was hard to get through as some of Moore's books are. You really have to be in the mood to read a novel by Christopher Moore and Im not sure I was quite in the right frame of mind when I started this book. It was funny but not as much as I thought it would be, but

A couple years ago I heard about a 24 hour read-a-thon where people all over the world sign up for a challenge to do nothing but read 24 straight hours. Impossible right? I think so too!

An evil creature called Tak uses the imagination of an autistic boy to shift aresidential street in small-town Ohio into a world so bizarre and brutal thatonly a child could think it up.

In many ways, Jack is a typical 5-year-old. He likes to read books, watch TV, and play games with his Ma. But Jack is different in a big way--he has lived his entire life in a single room, sharing the tiny space with only his mother and an unnerving nighttime visitor known as Old Nick. For Jack, Room is the only world he knows, but for Ma, it is a prison in which she has tried to craft a normal

In the late 1970s, Larry Ott and Silas "32" Jones were boyhood pals. Their worlds were as different as night and day: Larry, the child of lower-middle-class white parents, and Silas, the son of a poor, single black mother. Yet for a few months the boys stepped outside of their circumstances and shared a special bond. But then tragedy struck: Larry took a girl on a date to a drive-in movie, and

Coleman makes her U.S. debut with a disarmingly sweet tale of motherhood and reluctant love. London party planner Sophie Mills becomes the improbable guardian of sisters 6-year-old Bella and 3-year-old Izzy after their single mom, Sophie's childhood best friend Carrie Stiles, dies in a car accident. Life suddenly gets very complicated and dirty for the hyper-organized career chick, and a panicked

Last night myself and 3 friends went to see the movie Valentines Day. Lots of laughs and giggles going on around me but I can pretty comfortable saying that very few of them came from me. The movie had no meat, no motive, no nothing. Taylor Lautner was in the movie so I was able to get excited about Eclipse. 108 days until Eclipse!!!!

Sitting here at my kitchen nook, listening to the wind howl and watching the light dusting of snow we got last night blow around. I really hope this is the last of winter's hold on Nebraska. I am ready for spring!!

From our family to yours, we hope you have a wonderful Christmas season!!This morning our kids woke up to a bunch of presents under the tree and lots of fun instore for all!!But I must mention my poor poor A. She asks for gifts that I know as her parent she will not like. Last year she begged Santa and us for Butterscotch Pony. Over $200.00 later the prized pony waited for her under the tree (

It's been busy and the above about covers it all. I've been working A LOT, like 4x a week! I finally started my Christmas shopping TODAY, and we had company (BIL & nephew) leave this morning, they were here for a week and another BIL & SIL are on their way down here now to also stay for a week. They should be here in about 3 hours. I am up wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to late because I am still washing

I hope all my American friends had a Happy Thanksgiving!! Ours was a bit on the crazy side, but crazy is our middle name so it was just a normal fly by the seat of your pants day.A few weeks ago we saw an advertisment that USA Steak Buffet was having a T-day meal from 10-3:30. I said to dh "Let's just do that..the boys probably won't eat turkey anyway (part vegetarian I swear) so it doesn't pay

I watch this show weekly, have my DVR set to record every week. And I loved the show, until recently. Now I can barely stand to watch it. It's gotten so fake and commercialized (is that a word?). Free stuff here, free stuff there. I want to see a daily (REAL) life. There..I've wanted to say that for about a month now.

WOW it's been awhile again! I had no intention of bailing on my blog but sometimes real life gets in the way of my fun. Who would of thought??!?The good news is while I was MIA, I finally finished "The Crimson Petal & the White" by Michael Faber. It took me a little over 2 months to finish that 800+ page whopper. And IMHO, it could of easily been cut in almost 1/2 and could of been just as

I thought I'd better post in here, just incase someone does read my blog from time to time and they might wonder where I am. Im alive. Im just really busy with school and now halloween. All 3 of my kids decided LAST NIGHT (and 1 this afternoon) that they wanted me to make their costumes. I don't know what they're thinking..Im no Martha Stewart!

Today my babies turned SEVEN years old. I can not believe it. *W* wanted the Wii game "de Blob". If you were listening at 12:15pm today you would of heard him squeel like a pig. *B* wanted a remote control dinosaur (another kid who was totally happy).*A* was sooo hard. She really isn't my girly girl, all she said she really wanted was a new bike seat. So we thought we'd get her that, then

I am on page 424 so Im just over 1/2 way. I just haven't dedicated any time this week to reading. But my kids & I did finish "The Stinky Sneakers Mysery" by Beverly Lewis (Cul-de-Sac Kids Mystery #7.

Another week has ended and another pretty oh-hum Sunday Salon from me. This week the kids & I finished only 1 book "No Grown-ups Allowed" (Cul-de-sac Kids Mystery #3) by Beverly Lewis. This book wasn't as good as the others in the series, there was one part (when the cul-de-sac kids were making a snowman) where I completely lost my kids interest, but it was still real enjoyable. I am STILL

I hear the toilet flushing and run to the bathroom. I open the door and see *W* standing by the toilet, with his feet wayyyyyy in the corner and I look down and I am met at the door by fecal matter, toilet paper and gushing water. It takes me a

Well another week, another Sunday Salon! Im still plugging my way through "The Crimson Petal & the White" by Michael Faber. Im almost done with Part 2, so hopefully before the end of the month this big book will be behind me! I am enjoying it more now then I was a few days ago, finally Im starting to learn more about the characters, rather then just hearing pages and pages of Williams obsession

Well today is my birthday. I am now (hahaha..Im old enough not to tell) years old. Today I spent the day with Rachel and her adorable babies and then Rachel took me out for lunch. Ok..the truth is she gave me money and said "Go get us lunch..my treat for your birthday". So I ran across the street to Dairy Queen and got us Chicken Strip baskets. YUMMY!!

Sunday Salon today is going to be short and sweet. Im still reading "The Crimson Petal & The White" by Michael Faber and this week I worked everyday so I didn't get much reading time. I did lug this book to school once and tried to read it during lunch but I couldn't concentrate on it. So it will not be making any more out of the house trips. It's just to heavy and bulky. Anyway..I read about

Since I updated. It sure doesn't seem that long but the calendar doesn't lie. This past week has been pretty crazy around our house. I was busy every day this week. Monday of course we didn't have school, but I worked Tuesday, Thursday & Friday and spent Wednesday with my friend Rachel & her babies. :) The kids are now in their full school schedule. They start at 8am and get out at 3:20pm.

I just joined "The Sunday Salon", it looks like fun so here goes my first blog dedicated to The Sunday Salon. Im reading "The Crimson Petal & the White" by Michael Faber . Yesterday I finally got a really big chunk of reading done and Im starting Part II. Im enjoying it so far.

Here in our household there wasn't any plans, but so far we've had a great long weekend and we're looking forward to another day tomorrow.

The first week of school is over already! It went by fast, but considering that it started on Tuesday and the kids got out at 1:30 everyday this week I guess it should of gone fast!! Personally I think the 1:30 dismassal is a joke, the kids no more then get there, they get a morning snack, eat lunch, have 3 (THREE) recesses and then they are home. No one is overly tired yet, but Im sure

Today was day 3 of 1st grade and they love it! They are in a perfect size class (10 kids total, 6 boys & 4 girls) and they really seem to like their teacher. I'll have picture to post once I use up the rest of the film in my 35mm. I really miss my digital camera. I hope I get it back REALLY soon.

Three days until school starts! I think Im a bit more nostalgic about the kids starting 1st grade then I was about them starting kindergarten. I've said it before but it deserves to be repeated, this summer has gone by so fast. We had fun, but looking back at the summer, not nearly enough. I didn't get some things accomplished that I wanted to this summer (*W* still is on 1 training wheel and

That feels so good to type, now school can start Im not in a panic anymore. Walmart was crazy (as usual) with hundreds of other moms doing the same thing as me..Arguing with their kids to pick a lunch box they wanted, beggin' them to try on 1 one pair of pants and screaming at them to "GET OFF THE CART!!"

I just can't believe it. 13 days until school starts again. The summer went crazy fast this year. I haven't even started school shopping yet, oh I take that back..I did buy the boys new backpacks.

We recently got back from our maiden voyage with our camper. We had so much fun and 2 kids cried when we left the campground. They didn't want to come home. We were in Minnesota for 9 glorious days!! Everyday was an adventure filled with nothing but fun! I enjoyed sitting by the campfire and reading! :) The kids loved running around the playgrounds and fishing with dh. Dh enjoyed everything

Summer is in full swing and today was our first trip to the pool. It was short lived trip because W decided he was going to smart off to me and be a poop. A's friend left an hour after we got there so she was ready to go, and B scrapped his foot on the rough deck around the pool. So we were gone within an hour. We'll try again maybe tomorrow.Kiddos & I also just got back from our first solo

Im to tired to get up and check for sure, but the last day of school is the 22nd at noon and today is the 9th, so if you're so inclinded you can do the math! lolAnd so far I am working 7 of those 10 days. UGH! I was approached today at the high school if I wanted to be lunch lady sub next year. I tried to contain my fierce urge of laughter as I was thinking of Adam Sadler & Chris Farley SNL

That's how many days of school we have left!! Most parents would be growling under their breath, but honestly I am excited for summer to come. I've worked more this school year then I ever planned, I enjoyed it sooo much, but I am definately looking forward to some summer fun and R&R.I finally finished "The Worst Hard Time" and in the end I really enjoyed it. I am reading a great Sparks book

Kids are healthy, weather is beautiful, work is crazy, life is good.Im working again all next week at the preschool, but I think next week is the last. Someone has been hired full time for the person I was covering for and I *think* the new person starts on the 14th. I will miss those little kids in preschool sooo much though. I've been there for almost a month and I've gotten to know all of

Well I guess the ride finally stopped for now and I have some down time, but not the way I WANT downtime. B woke up this morning with a tummy ache, diarrhea, back ache and just all over blahs. The poor kid.

I don't know how working moms do it. I really, really don't. And I bow down to ALL working moms! The last 3 weeks I have worked everyday, either at school or for Matt and it's been very, very busy!! Next week will be more of the same. I work at school Mon, Tue & Thursday. Wednesday the kids don't have school so we'll be going to Matt's. And so far (FINGERS CROSSED) I have Friday off. But

I've been neglecting my blog again! How will I ever know what happened in my life when I get old and gray if I don't remember to blog!!! There's been a lot going on here! Friday dh came home with 2 new additions to our family. He's been begging since we lost Buck in May 2007 for a new hunting dog. I finally caved. The deal was he was going to get ONE German Shorthair.

I've been waiting to post this blog until I had the pictures uploaded..finally!!On January 9th, the 5 of us went to When Elmo Grows Up (a BIG thanks to my SIL who got us the EXCELLENT seats..front row/center!!) The kids really enjoyed it! Here's a few pictures, it's almost a blessing that our digital camera batteries decided to die on us 1/2 way through the show. We took over 20 pictures, who

The kids went back to school on Monday (January 8th) by 3:15pm I was scheduled to work 11 days this month at 3 different schools!!! I worked this entire week at the Middle School with a 5th grade girl. Very sweet little girl (but you can tell she can be a bit of a devil when the mood strikes her). She has a reading level of a 1st grader. It nearly broke my heart and brought me to tears when I

Yes I made a few, and some I am actually going to keep.1-Seriously go through the kids bedroom, toyroom and computer room closet and clear out all broken/not played with toys and get rid of them! This WILL be done by the end of May (before kids get out of school, and said above toys become a prized possession once they realize where the toys are going).2-Find a GREAT computer program that makes

A few days late, but what the heck. Since I didn't do it last year, I'd better do it now while I think about it...2007 year in reviewOf course the biggest news of last year was the kids starting kindergarten. They love it and I was glad to see them go. It honestly wasn't a hard transition at all for me. I was ready for them to go, because they were ready to go. We had some trials at the

Ever heard of it?? No it's not the 5th disease we've had this year or this month. It's the actual name our physician dx'd W with today. "Fifth Disease". Poor W woke up with this today, it's highly contagious so it looks like nothing but F-U-N is in store for dh & I for the next week! Oh YEA!!This is what it looks like..

We had a little taste of winter today in the form of an ice storm. Nothing like we had in January, but it was a little reminder of how powerful mother nature can be when she wants to be! So the kids & I stayed inside today and had a pj day, something we haven't done in a very, very long time. I loved it, and the kids fought like caged animals all day. I am hoping the road condition clears up

To all my American pals from my family to yours..We hope you had a GREAT holiday!!We sure did! The kiddos (and me too) enjoyed watching the Thanksgiving Day parade. The turkey was extremely good and we ate more then we should of! :) I am NOT planning on heading out tomorrow (well today since it's 12:30am) for Black Friday. Dh is going hunting tomorrow and I have no clue what the kids & I will

Not really much to updating on. I had strep throat last week and by the grace of God the kids managed to NOT get it. Which IMHO is a miracle.Dh went deer hunting last weekend, hunting started at 6am and by 7:10am he was home with a nice 12pt. buck. Kids are doing great, weather has been really warm (in the mid 70's on Sunday) so we've been spending lots of time at the park enjoying the last of

We are all fighting colds here. It's been about 2 weeks of coughing up crud from our lungs and crap running out of our noses. Forget about breathing..that isn't even an option lately. Regardless the kids did have an ok Halloween. W was a ninja turtle, B was a dragon and A was a princess (surprise surprise)! I forgot to take a picture that night. Figures..I haven't really been working much the

When it rains it pours! I am working more then I ever thought! Averaging 4 days a week. I am subbing at school for a para who has West Nile Virus. She is pretty sick, but thankfully seems to be getting better and is now working part-time. I now have 3 six year old! O-M-Gosh!! Their b-day went by without a hitch, they loved their gifts. Kiddos & I went to Omaha the 11-14th to meet my mom.

I ask myself that all the time!! Here I thought I'd have all this free time (ROFLMBO) once the kids got in school. And I *thought* my 2 little part time jobs were not going to take up to much of my time. Honestly they really haven't, but I am working 3 days a week now. Though that doesn't seem like a lot, it really is! I love doing what I am doing, so I'll just have to learn to budget my time

I had the pleasure and the honor of working with a 10 year old girl who has Angelmans Syndrome Angelman website. It was a very hard, very draining day, and I loved it! I've been subbing in our local school district. It's been exactly what I had hoped it would be, flexible, never dull, and entertaining. Today was by far the hardest physical and emotional, but the most rewarding. I had never

I am working for my old boss (B4 kids) 1 day a week and tomorrow (which is my b-day btw..) I start subbing at one of the schools! YEA!!

This morning I was taking out the garbage and almost stepped on ONE of these. I almost called out to the kids to come see the caterpillar, but thought better of it when I remembered I have 3 kids, and there was only ONE capterpillar. After lunch the kids went outside to "go find something to do or you might literally drive mom to the looney bin." B came running in the house seconds later "MOM!

The kids survived their first week of Kindergarten. But W says he's done with kindergarten now and wants to go back to preschool. I wasn't expecting THAT the first week!! I am going to have a looong 12 years if he's already sick of school!!Tomorrow I am taking the kids to get their hair cut and find a nice picture shirt for B. The kids are getting their pictures taken at school next tuesday

And if you think I am ungrateful, then you don't know me very well.I made a late night run to Wal-mart last night. I picked up everything I can think of that 3 kids starting kindergarten could practically need (lunch wise). I also found myself a really cute new
