My future and how I'm going to get it right.

When I first signed up for my classes for the spring Semester I was so excited. I missed being in school hanging out with friends and having assignments to do. I haven’t been in school since I was in high school in 2008 and it feels like ten years.  I guess I didn’t realize how hard dealing with all of my family issues and trying to keep up with four classes would be. I’m trying really hard and I am putting everything I have into this. I hate not being able to spend all day with my kids like I planned but me finishing college isn’t for me it’s for them. I just want to give them a good life and I know this is how they are going to get that. I enjoy all of my classes and I want to do so well in all of them but it’s like the second that I’m trying harder in one class I lose focus on one of the others. I’m not going to lie it is pretty hard and way harder than I ever expected it to be.  My look on life and what I’m supposed to be and what I am becoming is starting to look the same instead of complete opposites.  I know what I want and I know what I’m fighting to get. I don’t think anyone can get in the way of my plan. The only people I have pushing me to succeed are my kids. The two people I wake up to every morning they are the ones that give me what I need to keep going and I wouldn’t trade that for anything.

The emotions the book liar stirred up with me

The emotions the book liar stirred up for me are the ones I have toward my sisters and made me change my perspective on them. Yes they steal and they lie to no end but I’m pretty sure they don’t have a huge secret like micah does in this book. I could never understand what it is about my sisters that make them do the things they do. I live with my mom and they come over quite often and I had to go out and buy a door knob with a real key lock on it instead of the pop locks that my mom had just so I could keep my things. They lie about things that never matter and I guess after reading this book I was hoping to find logic behind it. I obviously did not but it’s always good to be hopeful though. I think that being a liar is hereditary I think it’s something in your genes that were passed down from generation to generation. Lying is a major coping mechanism to cover for something that has happened usually but in my case this is not true. My mom is not big on lying and neither is my father. But each of us has a different dad and both of their dads are liars so that is the conclusion I have come up with after reevaluating the situation at hand. I am just very thankful that I did not get those genes. Don’t get me wrong I do lie but I do it to spare the feelings of someone usually and I don’t do it very often because I try not to get in those sorts of situations.

My Review of what could be the best book I have ever read.

My review of the Book LIAR, this book caught me off guard and has a shocking ending to it indeed. This story has romance, drama, and truth to how she lives and who she really is. Having one thing hang over your head and to have that kind of responsibility to never let herself out of control is intense and convinced me to continue reading. I would recommend this book to anyone who has experience with major liars this book might just give you a thought that they are hiding something bigger than the simple white lies they tell. I wouldn’t change a single word in this novel. The ending of this book explains that even when the truth is really hard to believe you should always give any person whether they are a compulsive liar or an honest person the benefit of doubt. Everyone deserves a chance to explain why they do what they do and why they hide what they hide. The truth is everyone has a secret and if you really want to know the secret I suggest reading this book because the secret would go beyond blowing your mind. It will knock you into a huge shocking Whoa. I would have never read this book If it were not for my wonderful reading teacher who inspired me to do so.  I was impressed with this book and It was nothing like I have ever read before and I can’t wait to read more books by Justine Larbalestier.

When Reading Fable Haven the Series.

When I first started reading The Fable Haven series by Brandon Mull I fell in love with it. The two main Characters, Kendra and her little brother Seth started out as two young and immature kids and it turned out they grew up faster than they had planned to. They learned about Fable Haven a few days after staying with their grandfather and they had so much to learn before they could take the ropes on things. They broke a lot of rules but they dealt with each challenge as it approached them quickly. I think they deserve a lot of praise for the way they achieved the greatness that was tossed upon them. They quickly decided to help out because it was the right thing to do. They saved lives, Helped destroy the enemy and went home with their parents by the end of the summer I just don’t think I could have done have the things they did in one summer in my life time If I had a secret as big as theirs. They continuously went back every time they were needed to help out or defeat something huge. They got better and better as time went on. They found something that had been hidden for so many years nobody had ever even seen it.  Every time they did fail at something or screw up for a simple mistake they found a way to work their selves around it and make the best of the decisions they made and took responsibility for the way the acted crude and disrespectful to  the people who cared for them the most.

My Saturday reading session. =P

On Friday evening around 4:45 pm, School was out and I had my kids with me when we ventured to the library for the book LIAR by Justine Larbalestier. At the East Peoria Library they did not have the book so they called the Pekin Library and they had one copy of the book there. So on the way to Pekin my daughter Madison was begging me to get a book. I took her to the children’s books and she picked out Garfield ha. Then I got my book that I asked them to hold for me until I arrived. Saturday morning I got up around 8:00 Am, I asked Matthew to watch the kids so I could read. I spent my entire Saturday reading this book that I thought I would hate. After I was two pages into this book I could not put the book down with every sentence I was hoping that I could be a faster reading and I caught myself taking breaks and flipping farther into the book just to read what was going to happen. Even though I knew I wouldn’t understand what was going on until I went back to where I left off. This book was the most intriguing book I have ever read that was not a book my daughter asked me to read to her. I kept my head in this book not because I had too but because I was drawn in from page to page just wanting to read and read until I knew the truth about everything. When I found out the truth I was shocked and still questioning whether or not is was a lie or the truth she was in fact telling me.
