Another Good Book

I have been on a streak lately. I have had suggested to me or have accidentally read so many good books.  I have a growing list of authors that I can't wait to read more of. 

Last night a friend handed me a copy of, "The Hunger Games," by Suzanne Collins. I started reading it at 9:00 and kept saying, "One more chapter and I will go to bed. Okay, one more chapter and I will go to bed." I could not put the book down and honestly it was one of those books that had me by the first sentence.  

At 11:30 and 150pages into the book I made myself go to bed.  Which didn't really work out to well because I just kept thinking about the book and what was going to happen next.  I'm not even entirely sure I saw my children this morning because I had my nose buried into the book. Then it ended with this sentence, "END OF BOOK ONE."

Do you know what that means? That means there is a book two! Which I am not allowed to go and get until I get some chores done. Until I get my ride for the week done. Before I do something besides walk around with my nose buried in the book.

How do people with book blogs manage to read and post? I have a blessing post to do that I haven't done because, "MY NOSE WAS BURIED IN A BOOK!"  My to do list is longer then it should be and I am starting to think that I'm just a tad obsessive when it comes to a good book.  
Be back in a bit with a blessing post that  I promise won't be about books. Well not entirely.

At my Age

I saw this quote the other day and had to smile. It has been interesting finishing school at my age. I have had this feeling more than once that I am a little old, and finishing school is something I should have done a long time ago. Usually I remind myself that we all have our own paths to take in life. My path had me marry at 19 and become the mother of four beautiful rug rats by 27. Marriage and children defined me more than anything. I became more aware of my talents and abilities. I really didn't know who I was before I became a wife and mother. Waiting until now to finish my degree gave me time to figure out who I am. Well, at least to have a better idea of who I am. I love being in a classroom, I love learning, and I love helping others learn. My inner nerd does little happy dances every time I learn something new. Each person on this planet has their own God given talents. We have a responsibility to find our talents and to make the world a better place. How old you are wh...

Pinewood Derby or Bust!

If there is one thing that Brent and I both agree on.  One thing that we both believe is essential to the proper development, growth, and raising of a son. That no boyhood would be complete with out.  It would be participation in the Pinewood Derby.   Yes, on this one thing Brent and I are in total agreement.  A boyhood is not a true boyhood until a boy has built a pinewood derby car and then competed in a pinewood derby.  It is that important!  I'm sorry if you have never had the opportunity to live in a house filled with the air of pinewood derby. If you have never had the opportunity of watching a father stand to the side as his son uses HIS power tools. The opportunity to take a chunk of wood and see that inside the wood is the makings of a CAR.   You wonder why men are so obsessed with cars, with how there made, and how fast they go.  Well if you have ever brought home a pinewood derby box kit to a home with boys and men all your questions would be answered. Once the car is b...

S. is now 11 years old and is counting down the days until she turns 12. She is in the fifth grade and says math is her favorite subject. She stays pretty busy with swimming and soccer. This past year in addition to a regular AYSO team she has been competing on an All Star Team. She has really enjoyed it and is really looking forward to a tournament that will take place in Hawaii this July. She still loves swimming and is still competing when she can. A. is 9 years old and is the professor of the house.  He is our silent man whose brain is in constant motion.  He reads and reads and reads and soon will read me out of house and home.  He enjoys video and computer games, and he loves playing sports.  In January he made the city swim team and continues to play soccer, basketball, and anything that I let him.  Al will soon be eight.  As in next week soon.  The best part of school she says is 3:25 when pressed for a better answer than that she say...
