It been almost 1 week since the kids have been home from school. Its been fine and the house is still messy but the kids are having fun. Next week M starts summer school along with A. K will be still doing speech too.
The kids will be doing swimming lessons and we are having a family reunion in July. So far those are summer plans. I don't want to be driving all over the place with gas prices as high as they are now.
What are you paying for gas ?? I'm paying $4.49 just to fill up my minivan.
I had lunch from my kids principal at Macaroni Grill. It was yummy and nice to sit and talk with all the other ladies that I worked with this past year on the PTA. I told them in March that I wouldn't be doing it because I don't want to be burnt out and I also have more kids still to get into Kindergarten. I would help them but not as much.
I had my 1st meeting to discuss Moppets and all my observations and what worked and didn't. It was a good meeting overall and I was able to tell how I felt and what I saw happen and that I should always be kept in the loop and suggestions for name tags and kids area. I have been thinking ......got a house full of kids.
I have been thinking need something else to obsess over besides Twilight. I know it just a book and Edward is just a character but I know its silly at times. But I bought all the Harry Potter books but I never bought shirts or stuff. I should find another author to read ....so taking suggestions of new authors.
I really like Jodi Picoult. She is the author of My Sisters Keeper & Plain Truth. She has aton of books. I really like her writting style but have found that I can't read them back to back. Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your book hunt! I enjoy the Sophia Kinsella books (Shopaholic series and a few others). They are fun, fast reads and I really like the characters. And the Confessions of a Shopaholic book is being made into a movie this winter, too. I don't really get into a lot of heavy current event books. I have enough in my life to stress over as it is!! I want books that make me happy. :)
ReplyDeletegood luck on the book hunt. i read a ton, but can't really think of something that you could obsess over. when you figure it out, let us know. i'm always up for anew book.
ReplyDeleteWe are lucky, I know because we are only paying 3.79 for gas right now. My sister just bought a scooter for her husband and it gets 80 mpg. The payment is only 60 a month, which is cheaper than the gas you will save. Good luck
ReplyDeleteJodi Picould rocks. As does Jacquelyn Mitchard. And John Irving. I pay 3.89/gallon per gas, which has meant that we just don't get to go camping or anything over the summer. can't afford the gas.
ReplyDeleteI am trying to talk my hubby into making me a rickshaw. I have been asking for one for over a year. Then I wouldn't have to pay these abominable gas prices. I haven't bought gas in over a month so I don't know what it is here.
ReplyDeleteOn the book front.... Try the City of Bones series I can't remember the authors name. If I think of any others, I will let you know.

ReplyDeleteI also like Jodi Picoult. I have read several of her books. She has a great way of making you think about the things, usually about ethical situations, and I'm always learning something when I read one of her novels. Another author to check out is Anita Shrieve. She wrote the Pilot's Wife, Broken Sea Glass, A Wedding in December, etc. I think that her style of writing is pure literature...beautifully written.
