Book shout out



This is book 5 in the "Great and Terrible" series by Chris Stewart. I've been waiting and it's finally here and I read it in 2 days.

Loved it, Loved it, Loved it! I haven't found a bad book in the bunch yet. Now all I have to do is wait for number 6. When it comes to this series I'm not a patient person. LOL!

Update on Me

The last little while has been filled with lots and lots to say. First, I finished school and pulled 3 A's and a B+ in Advanced Theory. I was pretty proud of myself. My dd Ashleigh finished her first year of college with pretty good grades herself. We are both taking breaks for the summer. Ashleigh wants to work full time and save money to move out. She is definitely itching to do so as soon as possible.

During finals week I got Bronchitis again. Worse this time. I thought I had pneumonia, but the x-rays showed otherwise. It took me a month to get over the cough again. I was so greatful because all my teachers had given our finals the week earlier so we wouldn't have to worry about it during finals week. Wow! What a blessing. Heavenly Father is really watching out for me.

All this stress and self neglect has caused me to gain weight and struggle with my energy level. And lets not forget self confidence in all this. The PMDD challenges me enough and now to add this. I have started walking again and hope to get in better shape over time. I have to say though that I have been managing my PMDD quite well. Lots to work on. At least my desire is strengthening and I can function pretty good now. I'm a bit nervous with summer coming and having the kids home, but I have a plan and hope that I can continue to function in such a positive way.

Not much more than that.
