As you can tell, I haven't been here in a long time. Right now I'm catching up on my reading. I have met several new authors. As I talk to more of them, the better I feel.

I have been suffering a while with depression, insomnia, and anxiety. That is pretty hard when you have four kids. Having two kids with autism can bring you down. I am so glad that they are in my life. I get to experience things differently in a whole new way.

I will be back later to share my books with you.

Sorry not been on here awhile. I've been reviewing a lot of books. Some books are great and I've had one that wasn't all that good. I've read some new authors which is great. It gives me more to read. Not that my husband gets my passion for reading. The other reason I've not been putting my thoughts to paper is my daughter got hit by a truck last week. Thank the good Lord that it wasn't bad. That is one of the worst experiences in my life. My kids mean the world to me and I don't know what I would do without them.

Well the book that I just got finished reading was Fury of Fire by Coreene Callahan. I gave it four stars. I really enjoyed reading it. It has got some good and some bad reviews. I go and read reviews on  books before I read them. I take them into consideration but, I base my review on what I think about it and no one else. Sometimes I agree with some of their points and some not.

If I believe a book looks good based on the blurb and I also look at the cover of the book. So if the cover looks good I  admit I will read it.

I've won several books the last couple of weeks and I love the feeling I get when I win one. So I will get to reading and I will be back later to post my reviews on some more books and to also rant about my kids. lol!!

Life with Autism

When my husband and I decided to have children we never thought about them being anything but completely healthy. It took me by surprise that when I had them each one was different. I've had four kids so you know as a parent when something is wrong with your child. It took me ten years to finally find out what was going on with my eleven year old. I could never really find anyone to just listen to me and help me out. It took having my four year old to finally find out that he was special in his own unique way and to finally be able to see what was going on with his sister.
The day that my son was diagnosed with autism was sort of a relief and a life sentence. I finally got someone to see that there was something going on with my son who was two at the time. When that happened I finally got someone to hear me about my daughter who was ten at the time. I believe that was the reason that my four year old was born, to finally get his sister the help she needed.
Our lives haven't got easier since we've found out about our two children. Some days are harder than others. I think of them as God's special gifts. He thought we were special so that's why we got two special children to teach us that thing's don't always go the way we want them to.
It's really hard on my twelve year old because he thinks that his siblings are getting special help and he doesn't always get the attention that he needs.
I try to get all the information that I can on Autism but I still don't know a lot. Everyone has different ideas on how to deal with things. I've found out the best way to deal with things is do what works best with us. I know that this is going to be a long journey. I just need to take each day as it comes.
