A Day in My Life

I am still doing pretty good here. I am still trying to lose weight. It is a long hard struggle. I also have been hurting a lot lately. Sometimes I get tired of hurting. School is still going good. Brendan is starting to get into the harder math. So I have to sit for a while and explain things to him. I let my anger come out on him sometimes. Has anyone seen that commercial about the boy asking his mother for help with his math homework? I am that mother. She runs off screaming and hiding. I feel like finding a hole to hide myself. I have never been good at math. I should have spent the extra money for another math program. Then there is Maggie. She is doing much better with her math. But now she is learning about time. That is still not going well. All in all though she is doing much better. Jacob started working. So I do miss his help a lot. We have also started a coop. I didn't realize how much I was missing talking to other mothers. The kids are so excited to go every Tuesday. Brendan is doing so well in his public speaking class. I am so excited for him.

A Heart of Gold

A Heart of Gold is a new book by Robin Lee Hatcher. This book is set during the Civil War. A pastor and his daughter are called out west to a mining town. Shannon Adair is not happy this new place. Shannon is used to being spoiled and pampered. Shannon finally finds a purpose in her life. When she is hired to take care of terminally ill lady and her son. Through all the trials in her life Shannon learns to trust in God's plan for her life.

I really enjoyed this book a lot. I had a hard time putting it down. I guess it is what you would call a "Page Turner". I look forward to reading more in this Women of Faith series.

I was given this book free of charge from the publisher to review.

Book Review

I just read a very good book by Lauraine Snelling. It is called Valley of Dreams-Wild West Wind Series. The book was exciting and full of mystery. Let me give a little background first. Cassie Lockwood is in a Wild West show. That her father started before he died. All along Cassie has been pampered by everyone in the show. Because she is one of the star attractions. When the show comes to a sudden end Cassie is left with some possessions and two friends. Cassie must now rely on her relationship with God and the help of her friends to find a South Dakota valley that her father left to her. There is a lot of adventures along the way before Cassie finds this mysterious valley. I really liked this book a lot. But I have one complaint. I hate to be left hanging at the end of a book. Until the author comes out with the next book in the series. I am sure this is going to be an awesome series when all the books have been written. I was not paid to review this book.
