The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ The Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~this meme was inspired in part by ~ In My Mailbox~ It's a chance to share News. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.
Wow! We're coming up on mid-August, and I'll probably be saying that I can't believe we're so far into the year for the entire rest of the year. But seriously. Monday and Tuesday were pretty normal days around here. Wednesday, Little Girl started Mother's Day Out back up. She'll be going 3 days a week (half days) this year instead of 2 like last year. That's because her age group only had the option of 3 days or 5 days a week and I just didn't want her going 5 days. She had a blast, and I can tell that this year is going to be more structured. Thursday, Husband had Lasik so I went with him to that while Grammy had the kids. He had to take a nap when he got home (doctor's orders), and so I took that opportunity to read. Friday we had a ton of running around to do. I dropped Little Girl off at school. Then Little Boy and I came home and went for a walk. We got into the swimming pool after that. When we got out of the swimming pool, we went to meet my aunt at a local flea market because she has a booth there and has agreed to try to sell a few things for me. Then we headed back to school to get Little Girl. Then we went to the salon for the kids to get haircuts. Finally home for lunch and nap. Saturday was a normal day except that Husband has been banned from doing yard work for a couple of weeks so his eyes can heal. The kids loved having him more available to them.

Goodreads description--What happens when two frenemies can't stop pushing each other's buttons? Find out in this tender, laugh-out-loud funny romance from number-one New York Times best-selling author Lauren Blakely, available in audio first!Never Have I Ever been so infuriated by a man I wanted to kiss.
They say opposites attract, but I beg to differ. Combust is more like it. Because every single time I talk to Zach Nolan, I see red.
The too-good-looking, too-smart, too-effortlessly-charming single dad who works down the hall from me has turned getting under my skin into a sport. Call it the battle of wits between the wedding planner and the divorce attorney. Trouble is, when we’re forced into closer quarters, planning an engagement party for our best friends, I start to see his other sides.
And I fear I’m falling for the enemy.
***
I’m not out to make friends. My goals are simple -- fight till the end for my clients, and my family. The last thing I need is a vibrant, outgoing, snarky, and surprisingly big-hearted wedding planner to spend my precious free time with…except, watching Piper bond with my daughter just might break down the cinder block walls I’ve built around my heart these last few years. Second chances don’t come around for guys like me…or do they?

Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
You had such a busy week! I hope your husband recovers well. I've thought about getting lasik but I'm terrified of contacts so I think I'd be really scared of surgery. My mom had it though and she hasn't had an issue.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a lovely week!
