I Hate Being Sick

-

As a lot of you know, I like goals and lists and checking things off. This year, I was trying to have a weekly check-in with my journal so I could set tabs on how I was doing. I was also setting some smaller, monthly goals in my planner.

Well, let me tell you how this week went, it didn't. At all. I did some laundry, kept the kids alive. I won't even say I kept them happy, this morning was probably the worst morning yet, it was chaotic around here and by 10:30 I seriously regretted not taking up my mom's offer to come and get the kiddos for the day.

My week has consisted of ibuprofen, some sinus medication, salt water gargles, honey water, echinacea, anything that I thought could possibly help. If you see splatters on your windows in your houses, it was just me hacking out a lung again. I know, that might have been too much information.

I read light fluffy books and wrote book reviews and kept thinking I should blog and thought what do I have to say? Plus I should include pictures and I haven't downloaded them to the computer yet. Amber had her birthday, which she denies, being sure that it is Sunday when her party was going to be, but since her mom got sick, the party got delayed and I'm not sure she fully understands that part yet.

So in trying to add a little cheer to this sad little post, I think I have been listening to too much Eyore this week, I will add a little birthday interview video clip that I did with Amber. I'm a little bummed I didn't record the whole thing, but I wasn't sure she would even cooperate with a whole list of questions being asked.

And yes, the girl likes her movies. I'm trying to decide if she gets too many movies or if the balance is just right since her love for us is based on the movies she can watch. Well then, since I'm not interested in giving you all access to all the kid movies I have on my Google Drive, I will not show you any, but if someone would be so kind as to tell me how to do this, I would be grateful.

Fragrant Whiffs of Joy by Dorcas Smucker (It's Giveaway time)

Ah yes, this was just what the doctor ordered. I've wanted to review Dorcas' last book or two and was always too chicken to ask, but this time I threw caution to the wind and said, "Yes, I want to review your book." And I'm so glad I did. It was the perfect book for this stage in my life. Short, easy to read chapters that can be picked up and read whenever and wherever. They are guaranteed to either make you laugh, smile, cry, or or just give you that ah-ha feeling that someone else experiences life like that too.  I could quote from pretty much every chapter something that struck me in one of those ways, but I really want you to go buy the book so I won't do that many spoilers. I only want to give you a hint of what is to come in the book. First off, isn't the cover beautiful? I can dream of a kitchen table like that with the apple pie still steaming and the tea pot, or coffee pot more likely, full to the brim and a beautiful arrangement of flowers

The Swindler's Daughter by Stephania H. McGee

  Lillian is raised by her "widowed" mother who wants Lillian to marry slightly above her station so as to secure a good future for both Lillian and her mother.  But then the unexpected happens and Lillian is left the inheritance of her father who has only just now died. She travels to Dawsonville where she is confronted with secrets and a whole new life. She is given community, family, friendships and acceptance, something she has never had before.  It was a fun light read, but I can't say I gained any huge inspiration from it. It was pretty fluffy. Of course, there was Jonah battling his own things and struggling to come to terms with the way his own life was turning out. So you know the end of all that, but on the way there there was some danger and some twists and turns in the plot which added to the story.  I received this book from Revell and was not required to write a positive review.  All opinions expressed are my own.
