Stay With Me by Jennifer Armentrout


     Where did I see my week going? Apparently, I didn't see myself getting so wrapped up in a book series, but man, this one is worth it. Have I mentioned what a crazy fan of Jennifer Armentrout that I am? This author always goes above and beyond and really captivates her audience. In this last installation of this series, I was completely taken back by the character Camilla, who had grew up in a drug invested home and tried to make something of herself.

    Self identifying with a character only makes you want to read more. Jennifer was on point the whole time she was writing this novel. And once again, her lead male character, this time Jaxs, sweeps our main female character off of her feet. Both are not without their own flaws and that's what makes this love story even more special. I really wish there was a fourth book to the series. Oh how I wish to learn more about the Brandon character. 
    
    I did listen to this book on Audible because I didn't have time to read from my very long commute, taking care of my animals, along with taking care of my toddler. I was hooked cover to cover. You just never knew what was going to happen page to page. I think I will recommend this series to my book club at our next meeting. This is the book club that is amongst my teacher friends not the official one that we have where we read indigenous literature. I'm such an enthusiastic reader that I can completely devour books like sipping sweet tea.
    I would rate this book a 4.9 out of five stars. I didn't give it completely a five out of five due to the fact that I felt like the end of the book was rushed just a little bit. I wanted to know more about the complex relationship between the main character and her parent, I wish there would've been some form of closure for either the mom or daughter. It also leaves the story wide open for a second book.

Counting

      Counting on something is just another way to set yourself up. Each year I do this and you would think that I learned from the previous year's mistake, but NO I didn't. So here we are again sitting down here at the pout house thinking about how we are going to rebound from my expectations. Money can be made again and future planning will be taking place.           I will have to count my losses fully take responsibility for the fact that our egg production just cannot keep up with the demand. I will have to pay back a few people because I cannot fill their orders. Egg production drops during the winter months.  I know the ladies I work with will just want to barter for something else. Maybe once we get ducks that can be a trade off. I do not know a lot about ducks and will have to do some extensive research. We do have a small pond on the premises and that will fill some of the needs.          Any pointers o...

The Teacher's Lie by Brid Cummings

     A book review at its finest. I think every book is worthy of a review, so here goes nothing. I think the overall story is worth your time, however, I feel like the person who read it aloud on audible did the book dirty. Her accent and weird pausing in the middle of sentences really threw me off as a reader. I actually went back and purchased a paper copy. The author kept me guessing throughout each chapter, but the book was slow moving. I would put it down often to just take a break.      I would give this book a 3 out of a 5 due to the pacing and sequencing of events in the plot. Do not listen to it on  Audible, because it's terrible and dry.

Life with four Children

 so...          Let's begin. I want to start out by saying that life isn't easy with four kids and a full time job! I honestly don't know how people do this successfully. As a foster parent, I'm still learning about all the invisible baggage that my kids brought with them.      There are nights when I don't get sleep, because they are afraid someone is coming to get them. My 16 year old fears the dark, loud nosies, and being left behind. I suggest all foster parents invest in personal flashlights. It seems to help when the they have their own. We have night lights every where, but that doesn't always help.      Develop and create a laundry routine.  I will only wash two loads of laundry each day.  There are around 6-7 people at my house on any given day, and we are NOT washing clothes all the time.  My children each have their own baskets. They are responsible for placing items in their closets.    ...
