Baby and me - uncut

I bought a house

Here I am at the closing of the house on April 24, 2015.  I did it all by myself. And it's been a great, learning experience.  YAY! I'm 31 years old, single, and a proud new home-owner. goodbye LANDLORDS!!

No love means a broken heart

There should be a story told about this. I'm missing the earlier pictures to tell this story. 

 

Brynnlei loves to paint.  a few weekends ago, they decided to give her some cement-paint and let her go to town on the concrete.  Whatever entertains a kid, right??!! 

 

 

 

BUSTED!!  Austynn was spray-painting ove Coleton's Clubhouse. she wrote "A not C". as in tagging it. "Austynn not Coleton".  Coleton was so mad!! When I went to pick him up from soccer right after this, he went off on how all he does is love his sister, but she continues to just hate him and show no love back. She's not doing the christian thing so she doesn't need to go to christian school. he just went off on what a horrible person she is.  All because she attacked his clubhouse.  on the inside (I have no pictures) she also wrote "Mommy loves Bubba Austynn and B" then she crossed out Bubba and B.  she is clever. And this broke Coleton's heart.  So for the weekend assignment, She had to cover over it.  He didn't seem to mind that it was painted pink.

Breakfast Tacos

I love cooking breakfast. I only do it on the weekends when I'm not rushed, but it's what I enjoy waking up and doing. 

This week (and most weeks) we had breakfast tacos. O. Em. Gee. They are so delicious. I tried mimicking the best local taco truck in town, but it never came out as good. So then I added and tweaked and made my own. 

I use:

1/2 lb breakfast sausage 

Quite a lot of bacon4-5 eggs

Cheddar cheese

Tortillas

Start cooking the bacon. When you are 1/2 way, add the sausage. Drain. Mix the eggs in the with sausage and bacon. Turn off heat and add cheese to top. Then make your tortillas.

Parallel visions

When 16-year old Kate has an asthma attack, she has visions of the future. No one seems to believe her until she imagines a random girl committing suicide. She recognized a picture the girl has. It is of the boy she has a crush on. He believes her because he doesn't want to risk not believing her. Kate ends up saving Inez life that day. She also has visions of her sister's husband killing her. Her family doesn't believe her, until Mason tries to kill Kate. Is it too late?? Can Kate save her sister's life?  

I shall rate this A 4 out of 5. It definitely couture my attention And I was able to read through it fast. 

i am eager to see what happens in the next book 

The Noon God

What's a perk of being stuck in a long (8 hour) car ride for two solid days?? Getting to read some books!! 

The Noon God is about a woman who loses her mother, and remembers all those she has loved and lost in the past; while helping her sister and uncle cope with the recent death.  

Mona's father, J. Caesar Fortune, a well-known author, disappeared on Monday. But the end of the week, his body was found with a bullet to his head. As Mona relives the past of her mom, who overdosed, her sister, who jumped out of a window and overdosed, and her other sister who eats entirely too much for comfort food, we learn why Mona may appear to have anger problems. What is in the little black bag she found last week at the school where she works?  Who really shot her father?  Did Mona feel bitterness to the father that favored her over all others because he helped ruin her marriage? 

 

This is a super quick read, but seems a little mediocre the way the writing is.

If I stay

Mia, a 17- year old musician, and her family head out one morning for a family outing. In the next moment, Mia is having an out-of-body experience as she sees her family car flipped over, her dad missing pieces of him on the road, both her parents dead. We read from Mia's point of view as she lays in a coma in the hospital, her family dead. She walks around invisible listening to her extended family cry and whisper about her. Her rock-star boyfriend, Adam and her best friend, Kim finally working together instead of against each other just so they can visit her in the ICU.

 

Those that care and love Mia are there telling her she needs to stay. Her family may no longer be there, but she should fight for her own life. Adam offers her the choice of staying and he will leave forever if she chooses, because he may remind her of everything in the past she no longer has. He says he'd rather her live and him never see her again than him lose her forever.

 This is a great quick read. I finished it in a few short days while on vacation. I cried several times throughout the book as it mentions moments that no one wants to imagine happening to them.  Great book!
