The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~ It’s a chance to share news~ A post to recap the past week on my blog and share news about what’s coming up in the week ahead. This past week on FYFA (and in my life): I’ve been working, working, working on editing this past week. So much that I almost forgot to post anything on the blog and I haven’t been able to do much blog hopping. I plan to spend some time this evening doing that, though! We’ve also had someone come by to do work on the house, fixing issues that were caused by our plumbing disaster. Those will probably stretch out for quite a while, but at least we’re getting them taken care of slowly but surely. Here’s what you may have missed on the blog since my last Sunday Post:… Read more »

This past week on FYFA (and in my life): I hope everyone here in the States had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We had a great day—my brother and sister-in-law have been staying with us for a while, so we had a full house, always nice for the holidays. Can you believe it’s December? I cannot believe it’s December. It feels almost surreal to me. I’ve been keeping myself busy with a new editing project, and of course Christmas shopping, which I do mostly from my family room chair. Black Friday is only an online thing for me. Do you guys venture out on Black Friday? I used to, but… Read more »

This past week on FYFA (and in my life): Somehow I managed to get more posts up while I was on vacation than after I got back (I mean, they were scheduled ahead of time, but still). It took us till Wednesday to get all the plumbing issues dealt with, so I just didn’t manage to even think about a post until Thursday. I’m happy to say that my house is now leak-free, even if things are not completely back to normal—it will take us a while to get all the repairs done. I’m just happy to be able to take a shower! My son’s Special Olympics hockey team won… Read more »

This past week on FYFA (and in my life): I’m back from Cancun! We had a fabulous time. My favorite part was definitely the animals—the resort had a beach and pools, but it also had a lot of jungle areas where you could walk the paths and see wildlife. I was in love with the monkeys, coati, capybara and a tiny baby deer that came right up to us and let us pet it while it used us as a salt lick (we were salty from the ocean still). My heart pretty much melted right there and dripped down onto the jungle floor. And right next to our… Read more »

This past week on FYFA (and in my life): I’m in Cancun right now, celebrating my 20th wedding anniversary!! (Which was technically in June, but who wants to go to Cancun when it’s already hot outside where you live?) Hopefully I’m having a fabulous time. Since I’m writing this post ahead of time, I have no idea.  🙂 Here’s what you may have missed on the blog since my last Sunday Post: The Edge of the Word by Drew Callander and Alana Harrison: Review, Giveaway & the Authors’ Top Ten Addictions – Last chance to enter the giveaway!

This past week on FYFA (and in my life): Lots of activities for the kids right now. Danielle is finishing up her swim season and then she’ll be moving on to gymnastics. Noah just competed in his final soccer tournament for the “unified” team (where kids with special needs play with a few kids without special needs on the team), but he’s still playing floor hockey and they’re moving on to basketball as well (the Special Olympics is great because they get to play so many different things—it’s 7 different sports throughout the school year!). Meanwhile, I’ve still been driving Jade to her classes at the local community college…. Read more »

This past week on FYFA (and in my life): Not too much to tell you this week (which is a good thing!). Jade seems to be recovering—she’s still suffering from nausea now and again for no apparent reason, but it’s not as bad as it was. She’s finally gotten back to classes too, which is a good thing. Of course, I’m now driving her to all her classes, and it takes us forever to get ready for the day (she needs lots of help from me still because she’s not allowed to put weight on the broken ankle)—I’ve been saying it’s kind of like having a toddler again! Still,… Read more »

This past week on FYFA (and in my life): Jade is recovering nicely from her surgery. With the exception of a few minor bouts of nausea and an ankle that sometimes hurts a bit, she seems almost back to normal. So thankful!! Now my youngest had his wisdom teeth removed yesterday, so he’s the current miserable one. LOL! I will be happy not to have to deal with medical stuff (I still have a good while to wait, though). The rest of life is a blur right now, which is fine. Sometimes you have those seasons. Sorry I’ve been behind on the Discussion Challenge posts and monthly wrap-ups… Read more »

This past week on FYFA (and in my life): It finally seems like my daughter is doing better after her accident. Monday was a horrible night—it ended with her throwing up repeatedly for an hour and a half and then us going to the ER again (on recommendation from our regular doctor). But then she got better and we ended up leaving because the ER was packed and some people said they’d been there for over 5 hours and hadn’t been seen yet! I figured it was better to go home and let her get some sleep and get to our doctor first thing in the morning, which turned out… Read more »

This past week on FYFA (and in my life): My daughter is recovering, slowly but surely. We found out on Friday that she will need surgery on her ankle after all. (It’s a bit frustrating that we didn’t find that out in the ER when the specialist came to check on her x-rays—apparently she was called away to an emergency, so we never saw her again. She told the nurse that they wouldn’t be doing surgery, but we can only assume now that she meant they wouldn’t be doing it that day.) The biggest issue she’s been facing now is that she’s been nauseated all the time because she has… Read more »
