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 a normal day until the afternoon when all three kids had dentist appointments. All were looking good. Big Boy has another loose tooth. Tuesday morning, I had to go drop Scout to get a booster shot and get groomed for the first time. He was so adoreable when I picked him up. I love his long fluffy fur, but he was so soft and the shorter (not buzzed) coat is much more manageable to keep brushed and he doesn't get soaked and filthy every time he goes outside in the morning with the dew on the ground. I got my grocery pickup on the way home. Unfortunately right before I got home, Big Girl had an accident. She and Big Boy were playing a game and she ran into the dinning room chair getting her pinky toe caught on the chair and it broke her toe. I got an appointment with an orthopedic doctor for that afternoon. It was fractured and had to be reset. She's having to use a special shoe and we go back Tuesday for a checkup. Wednesday was a normal day with school. Thursday we had co-op so that was a fast day. Friday was a normal school day also and started out with good behavior, but we had a meltdown in the afternoon. It's been about two weeks since we had a meltdown so I'm not surprised about it. Saturday, I took my mom and Big Girl to breakfast at Chickfila. I've been spending every moment cleaning house. And I did put the Christmas tree up and have lights on it, but it isn't decorated yet. Husband's friend is coming from out of town today and I haven't finished my house cleaning at all.

Goodreads description--Anger is a part of life. We can’t avoid it, we shouldn’t stuff it, and we can’t make it go away.Kids need help learning how to manage their anger. This book speaks directly to them and offers strategies they can start using immediately.
Blending solid information and sound advice with jokes and funny cartoons, it guides kids to understand that anger is normal and can be expressed in many ways—some healthy, some not.
It teaches them how to recognize anger in themselves and others, how to handle situations and emotions (loneliness, guilt, frustration, fear) that lead to or mask anger, and how to deal with the anger they feel.
Young readers learn that violence is not acceptable and there are better, safer, more positive ways to resolve conflicts.
They also discover what to do when people around them are angry, how to get help, and how to locate other resources (books, hotlines, school groups) when they need more support.
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!
