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.
Monday was Labor Day, of course. The kids and I went over to Husband's Mom's house. We hung out and had lunch. The kids went swimming after lunch. We came back home for nap and then went back over for dinner. (She lives two houses down from us.) Tuesday morning, I had an eye doctor appointment so my mom hung out with the kiddos. They went swimming when I got home, and we went to pickup groceries after lunch. The kiddos had martial arts and then Big Girl had batting practice. Wedensday we were back to our normal school schedule. Wednesday evening Grammy hung out with Big Girl and Little Boy while I took Big Boy to see Despicable Me 4 for a reward for his reading over the summer. Thursday, we had co-op. That was our second meeting and all went well there. Thursday evening the kids had martial arts and Big Girl had softball practice again. Friday was another normal school day and Big Boy had baseball practice. Saturday, we went to Georgia to our nephew's 5th birthday party. We had a blast.

Goodreads description--Hi, friend! Welcome to the ADHD club.You're here because, like me, you've been diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder—which, by the way, just might be the worst name for a condition ever—and you're trying to figure out how to make your life a little more manageable. Or because, like my wife, Kim, you love, teach, or work with someone who has ADHD, and you're trying to figure out how to best support them.
The world isn't built for ADHDers, and navigating it can wear us down. But we'll let you in on a little secret: having ADHD doesn't have to be a burden. It can actually be a superpower that propels you to creative heights and allows you to achieve more than you ever thought possible.
We want to give you a new perspective on ADHD, whether it's your own brain or a friend or family member's that you're trying to understand. We hope you come away with strategies you can employ to make things a little easier. (We also hope you laugh out loud, at least once or twice.)
Most of all, we want you to silence that voice that whispers that you're broken or a mess or a failure. None of that is true. You have ADHD—and that makes you awesome.
—Penn Holderness
