Tuna melt and pasta salad as always. And of course we got a few things to go to have at home. We ran some errands before we headed back home. I laid down for a bit...the pollen is killing me lately.

 It's finally time for another BOOK REVIEW! I planned to read a lot more this month, but I just didn't. However, I did read two really great books! Here they are.... The Crash by Freida McFadden Ok. WOW. I chose to read this because it was the March pick for Shay's book club. She said it was a thriller, and I always like a thriller.  This book had me hooked from the very start. I started it one night before bed and then all the next morning and finished it that afternoon. It was SO good. Without spoiling it....it's about a woman who gets in a car crash during a blizzard, and she experiences some SUPER unfortunate (but very thrilling for those reading!!) events for four days. If you like a thriller, I really can't recommend this one enough! The House of My Mother by Shari Franke ***(Trigger warning: this book mentions and details multiple types of abuse of minors- physical, mental, sexual. My review only briefly mentions that abuse took place.)*** I think everyone ha...

Ran a quick errand, grabbed Chick-fil-a for breakfast, and then waited on my mom, Mimi, and Libbey to get to my house!! While I waited on my fam, I painted my nails. Another bright color! This one is L.A. Colors Hyperactive. SO bright!! I also sat on the back porch for a bit since it was so nice! Look who surprised us!! We celebrated Mimi's birthday with lunch and shopping! While we shopped... Caleb took Reid to check out a job site and fly the drone! Reid was definitely in "big truck" Heaven! That night we had quesadillas for dinner- I did Trader Joe's jalapeño sauce (which is so good and spicy!), leftover chicken, black beans, and lots of cheese! Dipped in Taco Bell sauce. ...
