Oops!  It's been a while.  Nothing new to report.  Things are going great!  We are on SPRING BREAK right now.

You know how I was sick a month or so ago?  I was sick again.  I had strep throat a week and a half ago.  What's going on?  I hadn't been sick all school year, then suddenly I get sick twice.  Both of them knocked me on my behind.  I ran a fever with both of them, especially the strep throat.  When it was 80° outside, I was  under 3 blankets shivering.  Blech!  I got sent home from work running a fever.  Abby got sent home with impetigo.  She watched TV while I snored on the couch.  When we went back to school on Monday, the principal told Abby s he looked better and she told me, "Welcome back to the land of the living."  I must have looked horrible!  I feel SOOOOO much better now!!!

I've been reading a lot lately in my free time.  Now that I have some!  I just finished a 5 books series by Lisa Klaypas.  I loved them!  Some were better than others.  2 of them especially!  They had me hooked.  I'd literally finish one book, then start on the next.  Lisa was very good about leading up to the next book at the end of each book.  Especially the end of book 3 into book 4.  It was 11pm when I finished on Wednesday night, but I just had to know what happened next, so I didn't end up going to bed until almost 1am.  I had to get up at 5:45am for work.  Oh well!  It was worth it!

As I was reading those, Shawn read The Hunger Games.  I finished reading it yesterday.  I read 30 pages on Friday, but had trouble getting into it.  The beginning is SLOW.  I didn't read any of it on Saturday.  I picked it back up yesterday and ended up finishing the book.  Once you get past part 1, the book picks up quite a bit.  Once you get to part 3 and the games begin, its hard to put the book down.  Every so often Shawn would ask me where I was at in the book.  I'd tell him and then give a prediction.  He wouldn't tell me if I was right or wrong.  There was a twist towards then end that I didn't see coming.  Yes, I know they are teenage/young adult books, but Shawn and I liked it.  We are on the waiting list at the library for the second book called Catching Fire.  The library is getting another Lisa Kleypas series, so I will read those while Shawn reads Catching Fire.  Now we need to go see the movie.

After finishing The Hunger Games, I started a Johanna Lindsey book last night.  I finished that a bit ago.  It wasn't very good.  I am getting ready to read the 2nd book in that series.  I hope its better.

I should be 21 weeks and 5 days pregnant today.  I can't help but have sad moments.  Today is one of those days.  It doesn't help that I'm hormonal.  My poor family!  This is TMI, so read at your own risk!!!  I am having my first period since I miscarried on January 10th.  Let me tell you, my hormones are all over the place.  I cried earlier and I've been kind of grouchy.  Okay, I've been a lot grouchy.  That's partly why I'm reading so much right now.  If not, I want to snap at Shawn and the kids.  I'm not normally this way, but I imagine my body is finally trying to get back to normal.  Shawn is so understanding!  I'm so lucky to have him.  He takes the kids outside to play baseball while I read and keep to myself.  LOL!

About it here...

Have a wonderful week!!!
