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.
This was a more normal week. Tempatures have dropped here below freezing a few days, but thankfully it warms to the mid-to-upper 50s by midday. Tuesday it rained all day. And that was frustrating to not be able to get outside like we normally do, but Husband got my curtains hung in the bedroom. And I hung a few picture frames on the walls. Things are really starting to come together. I finished painting the last interior door casing. I'm not quite done with all painting, but we're really down to the piddly stuff now. Thursday, Little Boy had a terrible day with behavior. I kept my calm all day, but man was it challenging. He was so disrespectful and throwing fits any time I told him something he slightly didn't like. Baby Boy had an ear check with the doctor. Ears were all clear, but the doctor said he did hear some congestion. I told him that I'd noticed him coughing and worried he might be getting sick again. If he ends up with another ear infection, he's going to refer us to an ENT for tubes. Friday was a much better day for Little Boy, but we still had a couple of moments of bad behavior. After dropping the big kids off at school I ran to the grocery store. Usually I do grocery pick up but I wanted to be able to pick my own substitutions if necessary since Thanksgiving is this coming week. Saturday, Baby Boy woke up with a fever and a runny nose. So here we go again. I had to take Little Girl to basketball evaluations and by the time we got back Little Boy was also running a fever. The boys slept most of the afternoon, and Husband stayed home with them while Little Girl and I went to a going away party for some friends of ours from Korea. They're moving back to Korea on the 29th. Happy Thanksgiving week to all of our US friends.

Goodreads description--Sowerby, England, 1802Miss Genevieve Wilde—a magistrate’s daughter and independent heiress—is determined to meet life’s challenges all on her own, just as her late-father had taught her. So when her father’s pocket watch is stolen, she will do anything to get it back, especially when the local authorities prove incompetent.
Upon reading an advertisement in the paper, she takes a chance and contacts a thief-taker to find the watch. It’s a choice Ginny regrets when former Bow Street officer Jack Travers arrives on her doorstep. He is frustratingly flirtatious, irritatingly handsome, and entirely unpredictable, and Ginny wonders if she’ll be able to resist such a man.
But after Ginny discovers that the missing watch is just a small part of a larger, more frightening plot against her, she needs Jack’s help more than ever. To protect her home and her reputation, the two enter into a risky charade—pretending Jack is her cousin so he can begin his investigation, starting with the household staff. As they work together to unravel the mystery, Ginny finds herself falling fast for her charismatic thief-taker, leaving her heart in just as much danger as her life.
