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.
On the one hand, I can't believe it's already February. On the other hand, didn't January seem extra long this year? Finally, a normal and uneventful week. We've not done anything out of the ordinary for the most part. Tuesday I was able to take the kids for a walk, but we had to wait for the temperature to heat up that it was later in the day and we weren't able to follow it up with playing outside. Thursday, we did get to walk and play outside. As I was pushing the kids on our swing (which is hanging from a tree in our backyard), an old, dead limb fell from higher up and almost impaled my children. That was probably the most terrified I've been as a mom so far. Thankfully, neither of them were hurt. Friday night we took my Mom out to dinner for her birthday.

That's it for my shelves and recaps of my past and upcoming week. What did you add to your shelves this week? Any bookish news you want to talk about? Let me know!
Yeah, January always seems to drag for me too. Like it's extra loooooooong! Lol. But omg, that was scary with the tree limb. I'm glad you were all okay! I remember one time when I started my high school job, this huge thing fell down from the ceiling right where I had just cleaned my floor. I was literally maybe 5 steps from it and at first I was super mad because I had just cleaned that floor! When I go over to pick up what I thought was just some sort of loose debris, it ended up being a huge metal pipe that took a chunk out of our cement floor! So that was my brush with death or near fatal injury.
ReplyDeleteNice new reads! New reads are always a bright side to the week! Those are new to me ones but I hope you enjoy them!

I'm glad January is finished. It was a mild winter so far but it still felt a bit gray and cold. We still have probably 6 weeks of winter left but it's going to be almost 70 most days this week. Yay. I'm just happy to get past house projects, so I can do more book and craft projects. I did put away all the Christmas decorations yesterday and the tree will go out today.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a normal, uneventful week and enjoy some reading!
