1.) I’m tired. I told Pat I think I have mono…isn’t that the kissing disease where you just stay home and sleep a lot?? Yeah THAT one! THAT’S the one I’ve got. But Pat said when you have mono there are other symptoms than fatigue and that I actually need to FEEL sick….so I’m working on it.
2.) I’m worried about Laina. My middle child has created a separate life for herself. She has a purple house and a pet store and she talks about them constantly. Anything she wants that I won’t buy her she actually ALREADY has at HER house. Her purple house. I’m invited to come to her purple house, but only when she is in a particularly good mood. I don’t know if I want to go there though, because apparently she doesn’t have any beds and just sleeps on the couch. Doesn’t sound very cozy.
3.) Kainoa got his big boy camo apron in the mail the other day…most handsome little baker ever if I do say so myself. And I do.
4.) Now that the Bachelor is over I’ve decided to continue killing brain cells by watching America’s Next Top Model and American Idol and Making The Band…but I’ll spare you from the misery of reading about those horrible mind wasting shows. But not really. What is the DEAL with Que!?! Day 26 is falling about fo real!
5.) I finished two actual books in February!! I’m working my way back. The Poisonwood Bible was ok.
I feel like it drug on a little though. You know those movies where you think it’s going to end at any minute and then it goes on for another hour? That’s what this book was like for me. Good enough to keep me reading, but I didn’t love it. It received a 6.7 on my very complicated rating scale.
I also read Jenny McCarthy’s book, Louder Than Words.
And wow that one was really interesting. Her son was diagnosed with autism and she talks about all the signs she missed and how she was determined to do whatever she could to help him. Nothing is more powerful than a mother’s determination to help her baby and this was no exception. She states a powerful for the importance of learning more about the vaccinations we are putting into our kids.
She doesn’t say we shouldn’t have them, just that not all kids are the same and it’s possible some may react differently to them. She’s just a mom who is frustrated with the system and the lack of research and the fact that we often just do what we’re told and don’t ask the important questions…or follow our instincts when things the doctors say don’t add up. Jenny’s book came in with a solid 8 on the reading scale.
I gave up on Reselience, which is Alonzo Mourning biography.
I hate giving up on a book. Especially after investing so much time into it…but my time was up and there was a hold waiting at the library. I had no choice but to let it go…
Next up?
A Thousand Splendid Suns.
I LOVED Kite Runner…if this one is even half that good I’ll still like it. Here’s hoping it takes me less than a month to read. :)
Happy Friday! Tune in tomorrow for Blogversations with Summer!
