Thursday Thought's

Today I have decided to link up with Jennifer over at Ramblings of a Suburban Mom
I have been following her blog for sometime now, and decided it was time to get back on the BLOGWAGON!!! So here they are

It is currently 4:31 am, and I forgot to take my sleeping med's therefore I am wide awake.  At this point it is too late to go to bed now the husband will be getting up for work in an hour and the little guy will be off to school shortly as well... So I guess no sleep tonight/this morning, maybe I will be able to get Taz and Bugs to nap today so mommy can as well.  I have no trouble napping during the day however, once night falls if I don't take my medicine sleep does not come easily.  I think it has something to do with night time being so peaceful in my house.

Is it just me or has it been an extremely long week? I mean really its only Thursday and school just started back in our town on Monday and I feel like it has been forever.  

Im also sad this week thinking that Summer is already over! Where did it go? It seems to have passed by in the blink of an eye, and you know I planned all summer to blog and just never got around to it! I underestimated having a 16,7,3 and 2 year old in the house all day everyday...(it rained ALOT this season) 

Also we didnt complete our summer bucket list, we put a nice dent in it but with the weather (rain) so much most of our activities were canceled thank goodness we always have next year right?

The baybah, (hubs) and I have decided to do a budget binder!!! EEEK, it sounds fun actually, trying to see where you can cut back on your spending and whatnot however when the bay tells you (i.e. me) that I should cancel my subscription boxes, lets just say things get ugly.... we are talking Real House Wives Of ATL ugly!!! I am just not having it, I'm not telling him to cut down on his driving to work because of the gas it takes am I? No I'm not! I mean that's just unrealistic right? RIGHT?

Also, I would like to start doing more crafty activities with the littles during the day, any idea's on NON-messy crafts/activities for a 2 and a half and 3 and a half year old would enjoy? I have to find new ways to entertain them because they get bored quickly around these parts and I may lose my mind if I have to magic erase my playroom walls ONE MORE TIME this week! HELP

And finally, I know school starting back is just rotten, I am Not what one would call a morning person therefore school for the little guy and Hot Shot (the teen) is not a happy subject for me I like morning sleep, I mean who doesn't right? Oh yes back to the school starting back issue I must be honest with you, I am super excited for Fall I believe its the best season ever! The weather rocks because its not too hot and its not too cold, and all the festivals and pumpkin picking and apple picking and MY Birthday, and the statefair.  I could just go on and on about all of the reason why I love Fall.... but, I think I will spare you all because you should KNOW them already.

That is it for now on my thoughts this Thursday morning, be sure to leave your thoughts or links in the comments below and I will be sure to stop by, and don't forget to head over to Jennifer at The Ramblings of a Suburban Mom  and link up your post!

Have a good day Y'all

It's been a BAD MONTH

Okay So, I havent blogged in over a month, and I feel absolutely horrib about that.  There's been a BUNCH going on in my life recently.  My husband had leave because he will be deploying to Kosovo (hopefully NOT) in several weeks.  And I have been sick sick sick, like just this past week I have been to the ER and then the doctors 4 times in three days.  They have done so much blood work and lab test's on me and can not figure out what it is that is wrong with me.  And to be perfectly honest it has been HELL, the fact that I am in constant pain isnt even the most annoying part of the whole sickness thing.  It's the fact after numerous doctors, NO ONE CAN tell me what's wrong, which in turn means NOONE can fix it, and i just have to continue to live my life and go to the doctors every other day to be poked and prodded until a test comes back with something legit to fix... anyways just wanted to put that out there.... I miss blogging, I've continued to read mostly NA at the moment apparently I'm addicted haha anyways I will begin posting again this weekend with a few review's and I'll be linking up for some Meme's this week as well... so stay tuned and keep me in your prayers ya'll....

Xoxo: Casi

Teaser #1:

 Eventually, someone different moved in beside me, lifting me onto his lap. His arms moved around my waist, holding me close, as if his body would somehow power mine to life.  And it could.  My body, my soul, gravitated toward him in recognition, igniting something both marvelous and excruciating.  He pushed the hair from my face and tucked it behind my ear.  I breathed in the feeling of warm sun on my skin and felt the trickle of honey  caress me from the inside."

Avoiding Commitment review

Avoiding Commitment (Avoiding Series)
Author~ K.A. Linde
Genre~ New Adult

The Blurb

Jack and Lexi never had a typical relationship. After 2 years without speaking, she receives a phone call that changes everything. He unexpectedly asks her to convince the new girl, Bekah, that he's ready to commit. Jack is calling now after everything they had been through because there is another woman. She can't believe it. Follow Lexi in this heart wrenching drama as she relives her past relationship, or lack thereof, with Jack, and not just in her own mind, but to his fiance-to-be. Throw in Bekah's hot brother who always seems to be in the right place at the right time, a past with more secrets to unravel than you can even imagine, and you get a recipe for disaster. Find out what happens to Lexi as she travels to Atlanta to get the closure she so desperately desires from Jack, and how the bumps of life seem to keep getting in the way.

The Deet's~ This book takes you on a WILD RIDE between Lexi's past and present, and her relationship with Jack Howard (swoony douchenozzle). She wakes up to a phone call from Jack asking her to come to the ATL to convince the Leading Lady in his life that he is ready to commit, (which is the last thing Lexi believes Jack to be capable of!)  The chapters switch back and forth from past to present and the past takes you through Lexi and Jack's non-relationship/ relationship!

What Stole My Heart~ The WHOLE BOOK!!! I'm officially obsessed, with this series and went straight into reading Avoiding Responsibility.  The feeling's in  the book just had my mind blown! I was all over the place when it came to how I felt about this book! Sometimes I wanted to kick our MC's ass! And other times I just wanted to crawl into a ball and cry with the poor Chica!

What Bugged Me Out~ The whole damn thing! Like I said above, my brain=Frazzled damn mess~! It's totally worth it, however I felt I needed a few shots of tequila everytime out MC took one! Ahhh I don't even know what to say its been three day's and Im still not sure what to say! I will say if your not a fan of books with love triangle's STAY AWAY because this book is like a love OCTAGON ! OIY

Leading Lady~  Alexa officially Lexi to everyone and Lex to Jack! She hate's the pet name coming from anyone else's mouth and personally I can't blame the chica!  She's a Law School Student, Brunette with big brown eye's! I Can relate to her there aren't enough brunette's in the book world! I just love her and hate her at the same time, damn does she make some horrible decision's in this book! She's like your bat crap crazy best friend who is her own worst enemy!!!!

The Guys~ This book has alot of them, the main being Jack Howard~ UGH I'm sure most woman can relate, this dude is a totally omg,  abecrombie model, oozing sexiness, yummy in your tummy, deliously sexy hot, wanna rip his clothes off hot hot man! Who has got to be the biggest JERK OFF on the entire planet! I want to rip his man part's off and pop them in a blender on high speed~!  But not before I have my way with him, Glutton for punishment! He's a chronic cheater, can't keep his you know what in his pant's! Ugh I could go on all evening on this character but I will stop myself because I have a few more post's to make tonight and my nighty med's have begun to kick in! Which could possibly be the reason for my ramblings! Let me know if I am making NO SENSE at this point and I will start my review's earlier in the day lol!

Ramsey Bridges~ I could also go on and on about this hunk of man! But I will spare you, and leave you with this.... I am Team Ramsey DAMNIT!

The Villain's ~ They are all villain's in their own right's in this one! They are all their own worst enemies, however the MAIN Villain is Bekah Bridges, she's the new lady in Jack's life and she is a royal BITCH! This girl get's off on Lexi's pain and she set's out from the beginning to ruin the poor girl. I'm not saying Lexi doesn't deserve some of it because of a few choice decision's she makes but shit no one deserves the wrath of Bekah the chic is a PAIN!!!!

Bottom Line~ This book is for 17 and older due to explicit sex scene's.  They are 50 shade's worthy without alot of the kink! It's def. a good read I really enjoyed the book, you feel the MC's pain, happiness, arousal(eeeekkkk i just said that) However its totally true at point's in the book I thought my Ipad/Iphone/Nook ( was reading on all devices, if one would die I would pickup the next lol) were going to just melt from all of the steaminess!!!!! It's a great book the writing is amazing! Im def. a new fan of K.A. Linde!!!! YOU SHOULD DEF. GO Buy this BOOK RTFN!!!! Here's a few links for that purchase you are going to make RTFN!

Amazon .99               BandN Nook .99

NOW GO BUY IT!!!!!

I am currently reading Goddess Inheritance by Aimee Carter. I have read all of the books in the Goddess Test Series, and planned on waiting to read it until I could make my way to the book store but it was sooo Yucky outside here yesterday I broke down and bought the Nook version, Oh well it was worth it....

I just finished reading Falling For You by Lisa Schroeder, I will be posting my review on this later today hopefully.  Im still not sure what I think of this book, I'm in the love it or leave it category right now and feel I need to think a little longer on how to word the way I felt on this one because it left an uneasy feeling in my stomach. So stay tuned for that later today!

What I plan on reading next, courtesy  of NetGalley I was approved for an eARC copy of this lovely book That Time I Joined The Circus by J.J. Howard.  I've seen it on many peoples TBR and I have to admit I'm seriously looking forward to picking this one up as soon as I finish Goddess Inheritance so yeah Im excited...













So this is my W W W Wednesday post hope you all enjoy, and maybe see something you might want to pick up in the future.  And Later today I will be posting about a new book I just recieved in the mail from a Giveaway a few weeks ago, and ALSO My Sweetheart Swap post will be going up (my box came in yesterday EEEKKKK)

Have a good day Yall!

My Teaser Today comes from the book  Falling For You by Lisa Schroeder

"Teaser #1:

"Trust me. It's not all daisies and roses, like where you work.  Aaron and I have a code word that means, "Stay the hell away from me right now.'"

I laughed. "What's the word?"

"Titanic."

"As in, you're going down if you don't stay away from me?"

"As in, at this moment I hate you as much as I hate the movie."

page 226

Teaser #2:

"Yeah." He paused, "You know I really want to--"

Except he didn't finish.  He must have decided it was better to just go for it and see what happened, because as soon as he stopped talking, he leaned in, took my face in his hands, and kissed me.

Kissed. Me.

And I let him because I couldn't deny a small part of me was curious.

page 228

So those are my teaser's for today, if you liked what you read rush out and get yourself a copy of Falling For You.  Its a quick easy read!
