It's Been Awhile// Sunday Post #51

 The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimberly from The Caffeinated Book Reviewer.

Long time no speak. I have had such a busy month that blogging was the furthest thing from my mind. So many things have been happening. Mostly good, others not that great. It's been a month since my last Sunday Post and I think the last time I wrote I said that I was starting a garden and I planted potatoes. Those have been thriving besides the few that got frost burn when we had freezing temps last week. I got some flowers planted, garlic, green onions, beets, carrots and some leafy greens. 

I am still babysitting the toddlers. I get them off the school bus everyday and we have a routine and I am no longer having an anxiety attack about getting school work done with my girls and keeping the little gremlins entertained. Since I am devoting most of my time to babysitting and of course homeschooling my kids, I have to get up super early in the morning to start my work day because I do work from home and I also have to take care of my 3 cats and 2 dogs. I have to give them breakfast and play with my dogs to give them exercise. 

This week will be our spring break so I am hoping that my days will be a little more relaxed, but I am having slight anxiety because my 4 almost 5 month old pitbull labrador puppy Pizza will be getting spayed on Monday. All my animals have had this surgery and it is nerve wracking every time. I don't want her to feel like I betrayed her or abandoned her. 

Reading wise, I have been feeling slumpy. I was struggling through some books that I read at the beginning of the month and I just finished a book that I really liked and I really need to pick up the second and third book. That book is called Otherworld by Jason Segel and Kirsten Miller. My review for it will be up tomorrow. I am currently in the middle of three books. I am reading the third City Spies books by James Ponti outloud to my kids. I am about to start Shattered Midnight by Dhonielle Clayton which is the second book in the mirror series. The first book is Broken Wish by Julie C. Dao and I read that last year and really loved it. Then the third book I am in the middle of is a book that I am reading really slowly and taking notes. It is The Weekend Homesteader. It is kind of like a 12 month checklist of what to do if you garden and when to plant and if you have farm animals or just chickens...stuff like that. I don't have chickens yet, but maybe soon.

I bought some books. Shocker I know. My book buying ban was going so well, but I needed to get my hands on Chain of Thorns by Cassandra Clare. I am no where near ready to start reading that series but I have it for when I am. I have gotten a good bit of graphic novels for upcoming blog tours.

There is so much more that I want to put into this post, but I am getting bored and I know ya'll probably are too. So I will be back next week..... to talk about how our spring break went.
