1.Right now I am super sick! We had friends over for Labor Day and while they were there my throat started to get scratchy. On Tuesday I woke up with a full blown cold. Today has been the worst day so far, my chest really hurts which makes it hard to breathe. I am hoping it will all be gone soon!
2. We had a BBQ at our house on Monday, it was a great day! We had all of our friends there, they all brought a side or dessert and our friend Bryce brought his grill and cooked burgers and hot dogs for us! It had been quite sometime since I had seen a lot of my friends so it was good to get together.
3. Matt is going back to school!! On Tuesday afternoon we went to Southern Illinois University in Edwardsville for a college visit. We loved it! I will not be going back, I'll be working as much as possible. Matt has already sent in his application and FAFSA (financial aid), we are just waiting to hear back from them. He will go into Mass Communications, and his long term goal is to teach speech and theatre at the college level. I'm so proud of him for finally taking the steps to better our future. I'm getting closer to being a stay at home mom!!
4. I am auditioning for the first play in years on Sunday!! I haven't done a show in a long time and I'm excited to get back at it! I am auditioning for Snow White (again), I was Grumpy the last time I was in Snow White.
5. I have been reading some really great books! I am taking a break from the Harry Potter series ( I need to emotionally recoup from the 5th one.) I only have 2 left in the series, but I need a break. I wanted to try and read 40 books this summer, but I am not going to make my goal. I am at 17 I think (I have a list at home.) I went back to my childhood and read three Roald Dahl books and the original Peter Pan. Man I love kids books!!! If you have not read the original Peter Pan novel I suggest you do. JM Barrie is the author. I love the first line of the book: "all children, except one, grow up." I just got a book yesterday from the library and I'm loving it!! It is called The Pull of the Ocean and it is by Jean-Claude Mourlevat. Here is the description form Goodreads.com:
"On a stormy night, little Yann Doutreleau wakes up his six older brothers, all twins. He lets them know that they must flee their home--or risk being killed by their violent father. Without question, the siblings follow Yann into the wet darkness. And so begins their remarkable odyssey toward the ocean--as well as an unforgettable story of brotherhood." It is so good and is really easy to read.
Welcome to my life!
I would really like to see where my readers are from. Could you comment on this post and just put where you live? Either the state or country would be great! Thanks for reading!
